Back in the 70's Irwin was arrested accused of spying and beaten by Turkish authorities. He was then released.

Okay... How are you proposing this be incorporated into the article? Holford 20:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Important things are missing from this article. Irwin's date of death appeared at the beginning of the article, but not at the end. I fixed that. It would still be nice to have the date of his first heart attack, though. I added a sentence about the book he wrote about his experiences. One major omission from the article is the dates of his spaceflight on Apollo 15. Not even the year is mentioned. If you reply to this, please notify me on my talk page.

• Added some more basic information and cited sources. The first instance of heart problems actually occurred on the voyage home to Earth on Apollo 15, in August 1971. I usually don't contribute to a person this famous, since the source material is easy to find. I'm surprised it's still really only a Start article. I'll try to bring this up to a B-class article by the end of February... no guarantees.Abebenjoe 21:16, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
