[edit] Personal Site?

I don't really think Wikipedia needs to copy Yazbek's personal site timeline verbatim.

Yid613, I know you're trying, but ... "The son of a Jewish mother and Arab father, Yazbek learned cello at the age of ten and switched to piano nine years later." -- this sentence has the connotation of "Hey -- Yazbek was different than most sons of Jewish mothers and Arab fathers in that he switched to piano after learning the cello."

However, thanks for the needed copyediting. Shigpit 02:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• • But it's not Yazbek's personal site that had the timeline, it was an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about The Full Monty. Do you think it would be ok to keep the Jewish mother, Arab father information? If not, it's at least in the categories at the bottom. Yid613 02:57, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• • It is pretty relevant ... I'm going to put something in there and you can figure out if you like it or not. :) Shigpit 03:00, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

• • BTW : I love the Internet Wayback Machine. Check out his personal site on web.archive.org -- this link is an old version of his personal timeline. [1]
