David E Davis
Thanks for your precise edits -- you must have known him? What does your handle mean... toasted bread?842U (talk) 14:12, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

You are close, Tostato Brucciato means Burnt Toast. I wanted to name a puppy I owned Tostato Brucciato, aka Toto. Sadly the pup died after only a year with us. Yes, I knew David E. very well. Tostatobrucciato Tostatobrucciato (talk) 05:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Your edits seem highly personal and may fall under original research. All of your edits are unreferenced; and some clearly change the tone of the writing. Do you have references for these? For example, the article didn't characterize the rivalry with Yates, but you do, saying it was friendly. Do you have thoughts on how to bring your comments into conformance with Wikipedia guidelines for notable sources and original research? 842U (talk) 10:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

I am related to David E. and was witness to his friendly conversations with Yates over for the last 36 years. Does this qualify as original source? Since the "rivalry" between Yates and Davis made for good press, the "press" exaggerated the myth. They did have their differences, but they were good friends. The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Yates attended David E's 80th birthday and his Memorial service when Yates is so ill would attest to that.TostatobrucciatoTostatobrucciato (talk) 11:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
