[edit] Devilfish

I added a line about another meaning of the term devilfish. I don't think it needs a seperate page. Masa 08:08, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 5k to 83k in two hands? say WHAT?

On one day he bought into a table for $5,000 and in the space of two hands worked it up to $83,000.

This claim is absurdly ridiculous, and I have removed it. Though I suppose it is mathematically possible, it is highly improbable. Plus there is no source cited. Out it goes, unless someone can provide some proof of it and an explanation as well. SmartGuy 21:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

The highly dubious allegations in the "Early Life & Criminal Activities" (giving the police hand relief, being a member of the Crash Test Dummies, being sodomised in a police cell and losing a limb in a fight - don't know which is more embarassing) would suggest that some libelous vandalism has taken place. Perhaps someone who knows more about the subject than me should make some corrections pronto... Martan 21:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Short Film

It says hes gonna appear in a short film in 2006.... has he?

[edit] Date of birth

Sources disagree over Ulliott's date of birth, both the date/month and the year:

• This source says "April 1"
• these three sources [1], [2], [3] say "January 4 1954"
• apparently Swimming with the Devilfish (Wilson, Des (2006), Macmillan, ISBN 1-4050-8952-0) lists his year of birth as 1962 (I don't have access to this source so I can't confirm that)

I think the "April 1"/"January 4" discrepancy is probably the old American vs British date format thing. DH85868993 14:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Swimmingwiththedevilfish.jpg

Image:Swimmingwiththedevilfish.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
