Hi Peter Job, that is a hell of a long page name!
Possibly, we could add Manning's middle name to the page, making it "Brian Thomas Manning" and leave off the text in the brackets. This may violate WP:COMMONAME, whereby we call the biography page by what that person is most commonly known. Having the nationality to 'disambiguate' the title would normally only be used if there was a "Brian Manning (English trade unionist and activist)", for example.
- I suggest the page be moved to Brian Manning (trade unionist), or Brian Manning (trade unionist and activist).

Hello, I'm 220 of Borg. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Brian Manning (Australian trade unionist and activist). Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 220 of Borg 11:22, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
