Hello I've reverted your addition as it appears to be copied and pasted. I mean, it is even present tense, although, he is dead. Please check above links as this is not what we're trying to do here. If you have a source let me know as i can help with the formatting and then try to say things in your own words using more tha one sources and cite tags. --Tikiwont (talk) 14:47, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I had the impression that it was old due to the present tense and if you typed it manually and then pasted it here, that still amounts to copy and paste. I just wish you had spent the time on a better source than a record poster. Apart from its dubious copyright status it doesn't really count as reliable source and it is difficult to explain to others where the information comes from. What I would suggest that you take a look at the two existing sources e.g. [1] They have lots of material not yet included. I'd start with something simple say regarding his family. If you want to cite that source anothertime somewhere else you can add a <ref name="Berger" />. Just move one step at a time.--Tikiwont (talk) 19:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
