Talk:Paxton Whitehead

[Untitled]

Hang on a sec... didn't this have a way fuller theatre credits section??? Adaircairell (talk) 22:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Adaircairell,

I share your puzzlement and concern. I was extremely surprised that Paxton Whitehead's theater credits section was virtually non-existant. I reviewed the Paxton Whitehead article history and determined after looking at a few previous versions this articel that Mr. Whitehead has not received the credit that he truly deserves. The best single source that I have found for Mr. Whitehead is Paxton Whitehead Biography (1937-). I have been trying to find collaboraing sources for this website.--Dan Dassow (talk) 01:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I have now added an info box, and theatre credits. enjoy!Adaircairell (talk) 15:31, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Stage Productions in Need of Sourcing

This info in the article is not sourced.

Couldn't find sources for this info which someone else had added to article. There are IBDB links and such in article but that doesn't cover these UK stage productions.
