It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Jimmy Shankly. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{subst:ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):Date of Death
Why it should be changed:It is incorrect on the page. He died on 31st January 1978 at home in Muirkirk. I’m his granddaughter and was there when he died.
References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): I have a photo of the information from my family tree and can send the picture. I have copied and pasted the information below but can send the picture.

James Blyth Shankly b: 19 Jun 1901 in The Cross, Douglas, Lanarks m: Bet. Apr - Jun 1930 in St George Hanover S d: 31 Jan 1978 in 82 Pagan Walk, Muirkirk
