[edit] Vandalism

WOW! There's been a lot of vandalism of this article since 6 May. Thanks to everyone to helped keep it to a minimum!! I understand there are people out there who don't like Darren... What I DON'T understand is why some people feel the need to deface and destroy anything they don't like. :( --GrahamDo (talk) 11:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MN laugh episod24 2 2 700k.jpg

Image:MN laugh episod24 2 2 700k.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] When was Darren born?

Darren's birthday is evidentally the subject of much debate. I have now changed his birthday in the Biography section to match what it says in the Infobox, and added comments requesting people please not to change it without proof. From what I've heard on RAW, it seems much more likely that he was born in the 70's than the 80's, however. Please can someone come up with a reliable reference as to his birthday? (Perhaps a profile page on some celebrety database or something) --GrahamDo (talk) 09:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure about the year so have left it. However, I know the date and month to be correct from RAW podcasts. Sadly, they don't mention his age so we can't work out the year from that. Mangwanani (talk) 20:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
OK, so here's what I think we should do. Let's wait until the 19th of April, and they'll probably wish Darren a happy birthday, and perhaps give his age. Then we download the following "Best of RAW" (Which takes place on a Saturday, and is always freely downloadable the following Monday), upload it to Wikipedia, and use it as a reference to his birthday. :-) ... Err, just noticed, the 19th of April IS a Saturday. OK, don't know what we're going to do then. Maybe on Friday the 13th, they'll mention "It's Darren's birthday tomorrow" or something. --GrahamDo (talk) 05:22, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Well there you go! They mentioned on RAW this morning that Darren's birthday is tomorrow, and he's 30 years old. I must apologise to all who SAID he was born in 1978, because I didn't believe them. ;) I've changed his birthday, and cited the show as a reference. --GrahamDo (talk) 05:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
