[edit] Moving on

He's dead, we know he's dead, we now have reliable sources that say he's dead. Can we move on now and keep any discussions about policies to their respective talk pages. There is a good couple of thousand words above of general uncivility and very few improvements to the article itself, can we get on with it now? Please? Foxhill 22:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sourcing

Can I just point out how hilarious it is that the ONLY REFERENCING in this whole article is to prove that he's dead? ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 07:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
