Pete Doherty
A few months ago I spent quite a bit of time reinventing this article as it had got into a fairly bad state. Due to Doherty's current prominence in the British media the article had become a collection of unsubstantiated rumours, POV comments etc. I have been through the article, restructured it and placed as many citations as I could find (and introduced an inline citations system). Admittedly I haven't done much work recently, but it appears that the article is now heading in a much better direction thanks to assistance from other editors. I would appreciate comments on the article in general, in particular the formatting we are currently using for arrests etc. Is this appropriate? What else could we do to bring the article nearer to a featured article nominee? Thanks for any time you can spend assisting this endeavour! Super Ted 16:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The controversy section bothers me a little bit, because it seems to me that similar sections invite the addition of trivia (I'm not a fan of trivia sections)maxcap 18:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a no-break space -  between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18&amp;nbsp;mm.

 * Just a small point - a statement like this :
 * "with drummer Gemma Clarke leaving the band due to Doherty's drug problems."
 * ... probably needs citation, not least because there are a lot of stories going round about why Gemma left (I've heard some pretty nasty ones) and so if a statement like that is going to be made it could do with being linked to evidence of the "official" line on the matter.
