[edit] Trivia

The reference to an appearance on Soccer AM is pretty trivial, given that it's a programme about football! I'd imagine that a large proportion of Premiership players appear on this programme during a season. Unless this appearance was particularly notable, I suggest this is deleted (and if it is notable, a reason for its notability should be included). Kruador 16:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Education

The following was added by 138.38.32.84 ^(talk):

Kitson is well known for his continuing education at the [[University of Bath]] in Lower West England, and is know studying a degree in Business, which he hopes to have completed by the year 2009. See [http://www.bath.ac.uk/person/768817] for more details.

Kitson isn't well known for this at all... if anyone can confirm that the D A Kitson who's studying at Bath is the same person as the Reading footballer, then feel free to add it back into the article. Robwingfield ^(talk) 00:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Edit history says: Paragraph not dubious, but true. Reference is clear. left by 138.38.32.84 ^(talk)

I haven't seen any references provided. Please cite a references that shows that the D A Kitson studying in Bath is the same person as Reading footballer. Robwingfield ^(talk) 13:47, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Look man, the refernece speaks for itself. Email him to verify if you really want, or the university, but dont waste my time removing this. (Re-added educational status as of 2006) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.38.32.84 (talk • contribs) .

I added the above from your edit history as you seem unwilling to discuss this here. I'm going to tag your statement as requiring a citation. The link does NOT speak for itself. As I've said before, there's no suggestion that the D A Kitson who's studying at Bath is the same person as the Reading footballer - a quick check on the Electoral Roll lists 106 David Kitsons... and we don't even know that D A Kitson is a David. If no citation is available within a week, I'll revert your edit - and I'll consider any attempt to readd the information as vandalism without a citation.

What ARE you talking about? Bath University finder states ONE David Kitson. His name is clearly mentioned on the citation I added. It says in clear letters DAVID KITSON. Like I said, the link does speak for itself and if you need any further proof beyond the official univeristy electoral roll, then email him or the university. What more proof do you need than the univeristy saying he goes there? Geez. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.38.32.84 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC).

No, I'm talking about the UK Electoral Roll, not the Bath University student roll. What I was trying to point out was that there are many David Kitsons, so the page you've linked can't be proven to be the footballer just because it's got the right surname and first initial. And it doesn't say in clear letters DAVID KITSON. It says D A Kitson. That page just proves that there's someone called D A Kitson studying at Bath, there's nothing to link it to Dave Kitson who plays for Reading. Robwingfield ^(talk) 00:31, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, as no citation has been forthcoming, and nobody I've checked with has heard of Kitson studying a couple of hours away from where he lives and plays, I've removed this "fact". Please discuss here before re-adding. Re-adding without discussing here will be deemed vandalism. Robwingfield ^(talk) 16:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hes on facebook as a Bath student...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.20.30.245 (talk • contribs) 05:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Got a link? Is it the Dave Kitson, or a namesake? robwingfield ^«T•C» 12:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay i have settled this dispute once and for all by adding the Dave kitson on facebook who does business management and... its not the dave kitson who plays for Reading- case closed- and his email addy according to facebook is the same as the one given on the profile of him on the bath website (just to prove its not ANOTHER Dave Kitson at bath).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.20.33.242 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
