WP:Verifiability
An anonymous user changed Skitch's year of birth to 1929. This cannot be right: Skitch himself said he was born in 1927. See here: http://shepsplace.net/family/individual.php?pid=I4986&ged=family.ged&tab=0 The rest of the new edit was an attempt  to add the following: "with his wife Stella as Deputy Principal, and Headmistress. He and Stella produced many musical theatre productions over the years."

Image
The picture used to represent Skitch is from Commons and is, allegedly, released by the copyright holder into the public domain. I think this is dubious: I have scanned another Skitch image which could be used as fair use if others agree that the Commons pic is of doubtful propriety.

 * the details on the Commons page say that it was taken from a theatre programme – but surely a copyright holder would upload from his or her original image
 * it is an exact duplicate of the picture in the Who was Who in D'Oyly Carte site here.

 * I agree that your new image is a better choice and will put it in. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:11, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
