A number of POV, unsourced comments are spoiling what is otherwise an interesting article. The anonymous editor who keeps inserting them needs to undertsand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and claims made in the article need to be properly referenced from verifiable sources. "Many people" isn't good enough, find a proper source or leave it out. Putting in unsourced factual details because you "know" them to be true isn't good enough either - put up a source please. --Archstanton 09:14, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Also deleted the reference to the unremarkable coincidence that John Thaw had starred in the Sweeney as well as Inspector Morse because Thaw hadn't been mentioned in connection with Morse. The comment assumes that the reader knows Thaw was the star of Morse. If it's such an important detail, then really Thaw needs to be mentioned in relation to Morse first. --Archstanton 09:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay okay enough already! Some people do really have a sense of their own self importance don't they?! Your points are entirely valid but the way in which you put them across is sanctimonious and unnecessarily pious. On a point of pedantry (as it seems to be the adopted style here), the previous paragraph did in fact refer to John Thaw’s role in Morse. That said the changes you made add value to the article but the attitude you use to communicate them perpetuates the self appointed stuffiness of the Wikipedia police.
