Probable vandalism

A user, who has only ever made a single edit, inserted the word "autistic" to describe the subject of this article. Given that one-time editor made no other changes to the piece and given no source was included, I've presumed this was vandalism and have removed the reference. 173.49.135.190 (talk) 01:33, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Libel ?

The first line of this bio identified Mr Ray as a "video pirate", and the hyperlink takes you to the Wikipedia article on copyright infringement. No evidence is provided in the article that he was convicted or has conceded that he infringed on another's copyright. I think this is libelous, and, in addition to the comment above, suggests a campaign against Mr Ray.

Sam Newfield

Seems awfully similar to this chap.. same guy, two different articles? -- œ ^™ 02:00, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely given that one worked about 70 years ago and the other is working today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.48.31 (talk) 00:50, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yet "Sam Newfield" is cited as one of his pseudonyms in this article. -- œ ^™ 05:44, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
