Talk:Roosevelt Skerrit

Article state
Whoever wrote this article ought to be ashamed of themselves. I know nothing about Skerrit's career, but you must know you can't use Wikipedia to publish unsourced defamtaory material such as this article mainly consisted of. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 10:31, 30 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I've reverted to a sourced, neutral version prior to the work done by a new editor through January. Further violations will result in blocks. Tony Fox (arf!) 17:14, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Seems like this keeps happening, and from similar IPs. I've recently reverted back to the last "wiki-appropriate" version, but the same text dump keeps getting put in.  Apologies for flooding the revision history with my quick-draw reverts.   Amit   ►  20:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)


 * September 2010, same text-dump was added back to the article. The entire text was unsourced, and since this is the same text that keeps getting added (albeit from different anonymous IP users), my gut reaction is that it is blatant copyright violation, which according to Wikipedia policy, should be reverted immediately.  I have done so.  Please either source the material that is trying to be added (and if you get a chance, Wiki-fy the style), or refrain from adding copyrighted material in the future.  Thanks!

I went through linking this page to other articles in Wikipedia but as I read though I began thinking that this was an essay or someone just copied an article from somewhere else and added it to Wikipedia. I would rewrite the article but time is against me. Someone please fix this. This article seemed biased.
