Robert Webb
Hi there. Please would you stop adding "Zadie Smith seems to have been rejected for a place in the Cambridge Footlights by the popular british comedy double act Mitchell and Webb, whilst all three were studying at Cambridge University in the 90's. <(http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/12/22/081222fa_fact_smith)>" to Robert Webb.

1. Why is this information relevant or important to Robert Webb? 2. It's entirely speculation; that source doesn't mention who the double act actually is at all.

Thanks. Gran2 14:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * "it is clear who Smith is referring to" - To you maybe, not to me, or anyone who doesn't know anything about M&W; read OR and WP:BIO - The source does not explicitly mention who she is referring to, therefore it is entirely speculation to say it is M&W. "an interesting example of the bizarre, inter-locking British Oxbridge education system" - Again, what does that have to do with Webb? If it belongs anywhere it belongs on a page comparing Cambridge and Oxford. He probably rejected a lot of people from the Footlights, I fail to see how mentioning any of them is of importance. "tells us more about Webb's character" - That he thought Zadie Smith wasn't funny? Is that important to him?
 * As said, above any points of its importance, the source does not mention them by name, whatever you personally infer from it, and therefore can not be used. Gran2 15:08, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
