Tone

I owe Rignall a great deal of gratitude for the enormous amount of enjoyment he provided during the pioneering days of Zzap!64 magazine, and he probably also deserves a mention for being a world record holding games player. However, large parts of this post sound more like a cut and paste of his resume rather than a serious profile/biography. Needs some serious clean-up. Saiing 05:39, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I was going to say, sounds like somebody's CV/Resume "he was instrumental in x, highly regarded in y". Maybe he wrote it himself, either way it certainly needs the praise toning down a little. (Sapperhutch (talk) 23:51, 6 July 2008 (UTC))[reply]
