Title[edit]

"Refutes"? I think you mean "Disputes". Refutes would mean his solicitor is putting forward compelling evidence that the allegations are without merit. --81.149.228.152 (talk) 13:35, 8 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'd wondered whether "denies" might be a reasonable choice. --Pi zero (talk) 14:07, 8 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Review of revision 1731020 [Passed][edit]

Title[edit]

Can we have a title that doesn't make it sound as though it is the solicitor who is accused of indecent assault? Bencherlite (talk) 21:55, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I didn't think it did. Neither did the author, apparently.
That said, and regardless of whether the headline can be significantly changed at this late date (it seems inadvisable, on top of any archive-policy issues), it's worth asking, for the future at the very least, how you would suggest the headline might be crafted differently. Preferably without producing something long and awkward. --Pi zero (talk) 22:29, 10 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
