[edit] Max Boyce

This is an article on the Welsh comedian/performer Max Boyce. I've virtually written the whole article from scratch (or from a very poor stub at least) - I did all this a few months ago, but never bothered to get it reviewed till now. Whilst I'd dream of having it featured, the dearth of sources on his life (his 'biographies', factually speaking, are useless...) probably means that looking towards Good Article status is more realistic in the short term. I'm hoping for reviewers to point out any mistakes/oversights/POV, etc. and any suggestions about how to expand or re-work the article if possible. Many thanks!

• "Boyce is one of the most successful and enduring entertainers in Welsh history." Cite please.
• I would expand a bit the lead per WP:LEAD.
• Don't we know the names of his parents?
• "Nevertheless, Boyce's performance was warmly received by the crowd, as can be heard in the final recording." I would also like a citation for this assertion.
• "Songs such as "Hymns and Arias" soon became popular with rugby crowds, a fact which has played a significant part in his ongoing popularity." Again citation needed.

In general I liked the article! I am not a specialist on the issue, but I think that it is well-written.--Yannismarou (talk) 16:17, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
