Paul Ross

Sorry for reverting your additions to the Paul Ross article but I felt that they needed to be referenced for verifiability. I see that the interview is on YouTube so have put it back into the article with a link for reference. I see Ian Bone has his own article too. Lame Name (talk) 20:35, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for letting me know.

Matthew Parris Edit

Hi Geekpie,

I just got the message you left on my talk page. I started a talk discussion regarding the subject on the Matthew Parris talk page titled "2007 Cycling controversy section" and two months later made the edit and also noted this in the talk page.

Basically, I feel this was not a notable incident in Parris' life and did not really warrant mention on his Wiki page. The evidence for the notability of this event seems to be comprised of responses in The Times letter section to a Parris comment article (a common occurrence), a blog post (not a valid source) and him saying something along the lines of "sorry about that, but it's really not that big a deal" a little bit later. Perhaps respond to this on the appropriate section on Parris' talk page to keep this conversation in one place. Atshal (talk) 18:30, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
