Awards and birthplace were in the Education section, media coverage of his motivational speaking was in the Family section and so on. Still some work to do, but the right stuff is in the right sections. RevelationDirect (talk) 04:07, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you go to http://www.patwilliamsmotivate.com/ (it plays really loud music if you're at work) and click on Bio, you'll see the exact text of the original article. Now, this article has evolved a bit. I took out the part about helping at Sunday School (who doesn't) and how old his kids are (should be birth years as ages will change). I also flushed out the minor league career a bit. Others have made different changes. Unlike some other promotional bios posted Wikipedia, I do think this one is noteworthy it just needs some further improvments. RevelationDirect (talk) 11:39, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
