Roger Lewis

Since the eponymous Roger Lewis can't be stopped from editing this article, we might as well leave it as is. It's not like he's shooting up high schools or running for office. Sartoresartus (talk) 08:52, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

This article was vandalised and replaced by an unsourced entry about one Roger Aaron Lewis of San Francisco, a 'results-driven human resources professional with 17+ years of experience' (admittedly that's rather good). I've undone this for now, but perhaps we should watch this space. If it wasn't a prank, perhaps it should be pointed out to Roger Aaron Lewis or anyone acting on his behalf that he can have his own entry and there's no need to mess with someone else's to promote his career.

missing

This seems a stub. There's not enough on the Sellers and Olivier biographies, for instance, let alone biographical information.

Quote

This page appears to be mostly taken up with an example of his writing. Although I do agree with the idea of having a sample of text to be available to all, I suggest that this article would be better served by removing the sample and noting this as a stub. Considering that he is still alive, this may well be a breach of copyright. I'm going to remove the sample (and mark as stub), but it will be available in the edit history if it is decided to be reinstated. Any other opinions? DRS1992 12:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hoax/unverifiable entries

There seem to be a number of hoax/misinformation entries that were mixed in with the real information here. The WIlliam of Baskerville biography listed does not exist. Nor can the claim of selling only 26 copies of the book be sustained despite apparent cites (638 copies in US _libraries_ alone). GIven that there has been deliberate hoax writing here, I suggest trimming back to what can be verified. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 16:20, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
