505: 484: 1247:"Former DUP member Jim Allister represented loyalist Clifford McKeown in court in 2003. McKeown, who was already serving 12 years for gun possession, was ultimately found guilty of the murder of Catholic taxi driver Michael McGoldrick in 1996, said to have been done as a "birthday present" for Billy Wright. Allister said that McKeown would be appealing against the conviction. Allister rejoined the DUP in 2004, and served as an MEP for the party from 2004 to 2007, before leaving to form the Traditional Unionist Voice, a party opposed to the St Andrews Agreement of 2006.

was not a member of the DUP. In fact, I believe that in 2003 he wasn't a member of any political party. The edit describes him as a "former DUP member" and then tells us that he rejoined the DUP in 2004, before proceeding to give some further information on Mr Allister's political career. Note that the source mentions only that Jim Allister was Clifford McKeown's legal representative but does not mention the Democratic Unionist Party nor Mr Allister's prior or later membership of it.

In conclusion, if a source can be provided which explicitly links the Democratic Unionist Party to the trial of Clifford McKeown then there may be a case for including that trial in the "Associations with loyalist paramilitaries" paragraph of this Knowledge article. If no such source can be provided

However, the edit contrives to associate the DUP with this legal case by mention of the Northern Irish unionist politician Jim Allister who, in his professional life, was a barrister at law and acted as defence lawyer for Clifford Mckeown at this trial in 2003. At the time of the trial, Mr Allister

The newspaper source cited does not mention the Democratic Unionist Party at all. The source is, in fact, a tabloid newspaper article about a legal trial regarding a murder in which a Loyalist terrorist called Clifford McKeown was the defendant. The trial took place in 2003, the murder in 1996.
1298:
In this case, I would say that the "nominal subject" of the article is the Democratic Unionist Party but the edit concerns "tangential subjects" Clifford Mckeown and Jim Allister (in fact, editor Athousandcuts2005 added a similar edit to the Knowledge article on Jim Allister).
