[edit] Fixing needed

This article is a mess as evidenced simply by the first sentence:

"Deryck Jayson Whibley (born March 21, 1980), also known as Bizzy D, is a musician and a doctor and a person that works at city morge and producer better known for his work as the guitarist and lead vocalist and songwriter of Canadian pop punk Juno Award winning band Sum 41."

Doctor who works at the city "morge" indeed... --S.Reemas, Apr. 17, 2007

something should be added about his "artist series" guitar from Squier guitars. http://www.squierguitars.com i may do it later though.

[edit] Sounds like a tabloid

This article reads less like an encyclopedia article and more like a tabloid. I think less about Whibley's personal exploits would be wonderful...they don't seem to be encyclopedic material. Any thoughts? Thoroughbred Phoenix 03:00, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guitar section

"This guitar was discontinued in 2005"

Who wrote that? It was first manufactured in 2007!

[edit] Personal Life

Surely Whibley had a personal life before he met Avril Lavigne Speedboy Salesman (talk) 22:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Metal

Is Deryck Whibley really "heavy metal" and "alternative metal"? I'd like to see someone list at least 2 songs from those genres.

[edit] What religion is Deryck?

What religion is he, Christian, Jewish, or what...? It doesn't say on the article... --72.230.46.168 (talk) 23:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, his wedding was a Catholic ceremony. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.239.156.54 (talk) 23:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
