I wonder if there's a RS that gives an exact date for the brigade's formation besides just 1972. That was the year Gusty Spence was out of prison for 4 months between July and November. He restructured the UVF and also there was a huge cache of weapons stolen from a TA depot in Lurgan in October.-- Jeanne Boleyn ( talk) 18:28, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Despite the wonderful work Jeanne, in particular, has done, I question the need for this article to exist outside the main "UVF" page.
Mid-Ulster was just one of a number of brigades within that organisation and it was less active than the Belfast Brigade, for instance, killing many fewer people and having fewer members imprisoned.
I recommend that this article be merged into the UVF article as a separate section and that the latter's infobox should not list Mid Ulster as part of the command structure. Yes, it had its own commander but he was subservient to the UVF's Brigade Staff, or central leadership based on the Shankill Road in Belfast and commanded by a "brigadier-general" or chief of staff.
If a separate article is allowed, then I think we're opening a minefield applicable throughout Wiki; namely, is every branch of an organisation or governing body going to have a separate page?
Finally, I make these points with no rancour or ill-will towards anyone. I have great respect for much of the work done on Loyalist paramailitary organisations. Billsmith60 ( talk) 22:25, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of UVF Mid-Ulster Brigade's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
