Men in Pants

[Gallicrow]

I've been filling in a bit of the family tree for the wrestler Mick McManus over the last few days:
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GX91-G3V

As usual when I do this sort of thing, I looked for a suitable picture to add and decided on the one from this obituary in the Daily Mail (the third one down, captioned "Double trouble: Steve Logan and Mick McManus formed a tag team duo"):
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2329043/Mick-McManus-dies-aged-93.html

To my surprise I was sent an email an hour or so later from the Family Search admin saying that the picture was not in accordance with the site's guidelines and was being removed!

Well, they do appear to be in their y fronts.  Perhaps someone could alter the picture to make them look more like shorts and then re-post. 
I’ll make a bet they’d accept a girl in a bathing suit.

Try this one possibly less offensive to the prudish

Thanks very much DyingOut. However a few minutes ago Family Search contacted me in response to me questioning the decision to remove the original image and said that they had decided it was OK after all.

This allowed me to tag the photo in the "Memories" section for McManus:

Family Search getting worked up about a link to a Daily Mail photo taken about 65 years ago, of a man who would now be 101 years old.

Yes he was born January 1921, not January 1920 as many sites say. FreeREG has William G Matthews, mmn Ball, March quarter 1921, Camberwell.

To be honest I think Family Search's response was excellent - some sort of "pants detection algorithm" must have flagged the picture for removal initially but then they acted on my query about it in remarkably good time, much faster than the vast majority of paid-for services that I use.

I'm still trying to work out whether McManus's first wife is still alive. She was born around 1928 but I haven't been able to find a remarriage or death for her yet.

I worked at the Land Registry in Croydon from mid-1968 to mid-1972.  There was a lady called Pat Matthews who I understood was the ex-wife of Mick McManus.

Thanks very much for that inside information wyndham, that's definitely the person I'm trying to find info for. However I'm not sure if it's correct to post information about (possibly) living people on this forum?

Things like this are a total joke! Offence is taken, not given lol I'm sick of seeing videos on HUGE media sites without naming any! Lol featuring children being filmed by others whilst being beaten by gangs..... What's the issue with someone in their Y fronts? The world has gone crazy
