re-org of article[edit]

i gave it a typical biography article structure, similar to kyan douglas. i removed the info about what Barry Rice currently does for a living because it isn't relevant to the article. -- Denstat 06:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Edit request[edit]

What I think should be changed: Under the “Born” section, remove “1964 or 1965 (age 58-59” and replace with “May 20, 1965”
Why it should be changed: Because the above is my correct birth date.
References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): Google “Ted Allen Date of Birth”

Hello, unfortunately, a Google Search is not considered a Reliable Source. The requirements for that can be found at WP:RS, and specify that sources, especially for Biographies of Living People, need to be reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Do you have a source that follows those requirements? If you are the subject of the article, you can also likely make some sort of public post stating your birthday on an account verified to be your own, which would be allowable per WP:ABOUTSELF.
