Discussion[edit]

This page reads more like "Quotes of Sid Waddell" rather than be an article about the man himself. Waddell's life and career needs expanding - and the quotes reduced. Seedybob2 22:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now we are in the World Championship, I expect several quotes to appear - can we keep them to classic Sid moments, rather than what he said today? Seedybob2 23:33, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest we keep it to twenty quotes, readers can visit his web site for more. Its just silly otherwise. Seedybob2 17:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't reduce the quotes[edit]

They are the funniest bit of the piece; they're doing no harm, and they make the page a great link to send people.

Yes, but people just add whatever Sid has said today, wikipedia should show articles in a historical context. There are plenty of other sources to visit for Sid quotes, these should be kept in context to the size of the article.

Quotes[edit]

I put in the 'Quotes' section, don't take it off, this is good for the article because this is what Sid is most regonized for Mr.Kennedy1 (talk) 11:43, 30 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]

The quotes section is generally fine since it is one of the things he is most recognised for, but it should be limited and each meeds to be referenced. _wjemather ^bigissue 13:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PDC section[edit]

I removed the unreferenced PDC section in this edit as it has been tagged for BLP issues for over a year. If we can directly and explicitly source it, then we can consider it for re-inclusion. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:40, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
