A fact from Ben Gunn (campaigner) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 September 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Ben Gunn, imprisoned 32 years for killing a friend when he was 14, earned a Master of Arts degree in peace and reconciliation?
The United Kingdom Education Secretary, Michael Gove MP, said that Gunn was "punished excessively for a crime committed as a child"
as Gunn has just said on Twitter that was from a private letter from Gove to Ken Clarke. It would be good to find a RS for this. Perhaps we shall have to wait for Gove to write his memoirs. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:21, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
85.133.27.108 - Twitter is generally considered a poor source for a biography of a living person, particularly one that has a contentious fact as the one you added. I have removed the poorly sourced information and need to warn you now that the page may be semi-protected to enforce the BLP policy if re-added.
