PDC switch

[edit]

I have not found ANY relible source that Scott has switched to the PDC, i suggest it be removed untill it is announced IF it is announced on the PDC website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.251.153 (talk) 19:14, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, a user called 'Forever Dusk' appears to be abusing Wikipedia to constantly revert any attempt to remove the completely unsourced and unsourceable PDC stuff. I will be referring him to a moderator in due course. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.76.98.239 (talk) 00:16, 1 March 2011 (UTC) **UPDATED: That was a misunderstanding, Forever Dusk didn't know what the article looked like and assumed I was adding unsourced stuff to it, when in fact he realised later that the stuff on there about his BDO record has always been unsourced but is trusted as fact by darts fans. Jbibby1996 is the user who added the unsourced PDC switch stuff. I suggest someone report him for clearly making stuff up.**[reply]

Oh, and just as an extra damning of what was clearly a fabricated 'switch' - the BDO website still has Scott Waites listed, the PDC has no mention of him since the Grand Slam. End of discussion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.76.98.239 (talk) 00:26, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent infobox

[edit]

There is inconsistency with the information in the infobox here. The footer to the infobox indicates it was "Updated on 7 December 2008." yet there are dates in the infobox from 2011 and 2013. The update date should be changed when information is updated in the infobox or the article becomes inconsistent. Keith D (talk) 23:15, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life section

[edit]

Much like the bullshit allegations of Waites switching to the PDC a while back, the Personal Life section is sadly the target of repeat trolling attacks. To start with, someone changed it so it said he strayed from his ex-parter, with no source to back it up. Then someone removed all that and said "any further inaccuracy will be dealt with by legal proceedings." Since this is the ONLY Wikipedia contribution from that IP address it's pretty obvious that it's not a genuine threat. On top of that, someone keeps saying his son is his stepson even though both Scott and Sally, on the few occasions they've mentioned him in TV vignettes etc, have said he's their son. Again, without any source to contradict this you can't claim he's a stepson if there's nothing to back it up and the limited existing evidence goes against the claim.

It's like when someone changed the Dean Winstanley page to say he only had two kids and was much older than he was just because they couldn't believe he was only 29 at the time and had five children. Your opinions on what you 'think' is true of someone is irrelevant. Same goes for the cunt who said the BDO world final in 2007 was fixed from the halfway point to make it more entertaining - again, with nothing to corroborate it.

So please, no more fucking drivel and conjecture on this page or any other pages on darts players, which are sadly easier for trolls to get away with editing due to the low amount of editorial checks on them.2.31.10.123 (talk) 15:20, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Photo for infobox

[edit]

Could somebody put this Waites into his infobox once it has been scaled to correct size?Perfectamundo (talk) 18:49, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
