Clean up

I did a clean up, see if you mind reviewing it to see if its deep enough for the tag to be removed. I will monitor this page to make sure no more promo stuff is added. Dengero (talk) 11:11, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

I am happy to help improve and make this article more encyclopedic and work through the issues that have cropped up here by following up to find citations to support content on this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SistaSu (talk • contribs) 18:04, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

D.O.B. details

Jonathon - I have been onto many VC and President and every other type of page and most of them do not have citations for date and place of birth. The citation provided here for date of birth details is very likely correct and the same Paul Winston Thomas born in 1941, nonetheless I will try and find out some other source as well to support this citation.

Jonathan A Jones one way conversation here - I have to say I have been unable to provide another citation to prop up the search on birth dates for Paul Winston Thomas so I have removed all details of DOB details. Peace SistaSu (talk) 03:56, 9 March 2013 (UTC) probably done Thomas a favour - who wants their age up on wikipedia ha SistaSu (talk) 03:56, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello (although I am not Jonathon). For date of birth, a person's own website or that of his employer, etc, is fine. Or you can cite Who's Who or similar, or Contemporary Authors. -- Hoary (talk) 10:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

I hadnt thought of Who's Who research Hoary - thank you for your input - runs off to research SistaSu (talk) 10:34, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Who's Who is very often the easiest approach. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 11:39, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
