I started wikifying the large volume of new material that was recently added, after a quick Google check of a few phrases to see if it could be a copyright violation. The searches turned up empty. Spalding 17:30, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

That picture doesn't look like Merton AT ALL. I think it is better to have no picture, or a non-free picture, than to have one which looks like it was drawn in MS Paint and has little relationship to the subject. --24.147.86.187 01:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

  1. I agree. That picture is ridiculous. There's nothing on the image page to suggest that it's relevant in any way. We should remove it from the article, and the picture should probably be deleted as an orphan. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 10:10, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  2. Hmm, indeed it seems like picture OR :) Suggested WP:IfD.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  19:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
  3. Why is there an MS Paint drawing of him? That's absolutely ridiculous. 128.8.210.123 22:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
