This article need to be fixed up

It is terrible. Probably the worst page I've come across on Wikipedia. Someone with some knowledge on Ross should just clear the page and start from scratch. Priester (talk) 17:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

copyvio material deleted

The following is mostly from an article here: [1]. I only include it here in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE, in case someone can see some use for the references.

After the Olympics, Rebagliati headed to Los Angeles, where he was scheduled to appear on The Tonight Show. While in Southern California, he stayed at the Beverly Hilton and zoomed around in an NBC-provided silver Porsche Boxter. "From jail to palm trees and the pool," he said.

By the day of the taping, on Feb. 16, SNL had already done its Ross Rebagliati sketch. At one point in the bit, Breuer, a master of the stoner squint, told Will Ferrell, who played Jim Nantz, that "they should give me a medal just for showing up on time!" Then, like clockwork, Tracy Morgan showed up as a member of the Jamaican bobsled team.^[1]

On The Tonight Show, Leno jokingly referred to him as "nickel bag-liati" at the end of the interview, but he otherwise went easy on his smiling guest.^[2]

Rebagliati wound up flying back to Canada in time to appear the next day at a rally in Whistler, the resort town outside Vancouver where he lived. After the event, which drew thousands, he went home to his 600-square foot apartment and realized, "this isn't gonna work." Rebagliati had plenty of fun—he was single at the time—but it took him a while to adjust to fame. People started recognizing him everywhere he went. To cope, he lived for a stretch out of a camper by a rural lake. "You kind of go too far one way then too far the other way," he said. "Over time you center yourself."

Please, I don't want to hear "It's not plagiarism if there's a link." Citing the passage you plagiarized makes no difference. Yakushima (talk) 04:43, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted section

I have deleted the section referencing dorito eating and other such nonsense. In all seriousness, why do people find the need to poison articles with such stupidity. We all use wikipedia for an increase in our knowledge, not to read read the ramblings of a troll. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.32.252 (talk) 15:37, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Written like an ad

Seems like a good candidate for one of those disclaimers that the article comes across as an advertisement. Lots of unsourced claims about what an international sensation the guy is, and I'm not sure his weed startup really belongs up top. Personally, I came here to refresh my memory about whether he was stripped of his medal and whether he got it back, not to hear about a weed company. YMMV I guess.

Italian-American citizen

"In addition to being a Canadian citizen, Ross is also an Italian-American citizen."

What is an Italian-American citizen? Geordie (talk) 04:04, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I don't know either. Removed it.--Jamesy0627144 (talk) 01:42, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
