More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: I rated the article {{Start-Class}}. Well, exactly as the description of the rating says: This article has lots of good content, but it is completely confusing for an entire lack of structure or any headings whatsoever. Not knowing anything about Roach, I am unfortunately unable to contribute at the moment, but I would really like to see an improved article here. Maybe even a wikify-Tag would be in order. — Mütze 15:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC) (edit)

One obit said he died in a New York hospital, not at home

Multiple articles say he died "late Wednesday" which is August 15, not August 16 - apparently from the NY Times saying "Early yesterday" implying Thursday. Your death date is in doubt. [J Bagwell]

Depending on the author, "late Wednesday" may mean after midnight... Rklawton 14:19, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Source for saying death is Wednesday - http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20070816/BREAKING05/70816023 which says:

The self-taught musical prodigy died Wednesday night at an undisclosed hospital in Manhattan, said Cem Kurosman, spokesman for Blue Note Records, one of Roach's labels. No additional details were available, he said. Jtbagwelljr 14:45, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

No doubt about the wording - just its interpretation. Rklawton 14:59, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Link to Neil Peart is incorrect, leads to search for "Neil Peart's". 65.119.3.129 16:48, 23 August 2007 (UTC)JBarber 8/23/07 9.49am
