[edit] Dougie

Dougie used to wear glasses but now he has JJ lens

Dougie wore glasses at a couple of film premiers last year...he looked great! :D

[edit] Greek?

Y'know, I may be missing something, but is there a good soure that says he's actually of Greek descent/Greek? I.e. a reliable source. Not that he likes Greek food or that he apparently speaks Greek, which I am not so sure is true either. Thanks Mad Jack 18:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Personality

Hmm, I don't think there's been a complete personality transformation. Dougie's usually just as quiet as he was in the early days of McFly!

Hm...good point. Feel free to edit :D I changed it slightly. --Stacey 16:31, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Could someone rehost the Ancestry.co.uk thing so that people who don't pony up cash can see it too? Also, add in the reference name that it confirms his name is (?), so people hopefully edit it less. mattbuck 23:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 'Years active'

McFly actually formed in 2003 so shouldn't the 'years active' thing be 2003-present? Although I seem to remember it being like that before! --CC 91 18:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Early Life

"...Dougie lived with...at one point his cousin, two lizards, two cats, etc. etc" implies that he lived at the same time with "his cousin, two lizards, two cats, etc. etc". I'm guessing that what's actually meant is that "...Dougie lived with...and at various points, his cousin, etc etc". It would be even clearer if the sentence was broken into two.

Also, "He wasn't quite popular at school." Is this intended to mean that "he wasn't `quite popular'" (that is, he was merely "popular"), or is it intended to mean that "he wasn't, quite, popular" (that is, he fell short of attaining full popularity, but was nevertheless moderately popular)?

[edit] Personal Life

"...this was mostly down to his dad's abandonment a few weeks before..." His dad's abandonment of what? Of his family? Of Dougie? Of a large handbag at Victoria Station?

"...a chocolate labrador puppy..." Is this a Labrador puppy made of chocolate? A puppy of the breed "chocolate Labrador"? Or a chocolate-colored Labrador puppy?

"...is an open skateboarding fan..." Is he a fan of a sport called "open skateboarding"? Or is he unabashed about his enjoyment of skateboarding?

please sign your posts. And I think it is clear what the author is speaking of when you read the article in it's correct context. ApsbaMd2 (talk) 16:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Repetition and Unnecessary Info

I decided to change some things. I added more sections and erase some unnecessary info. This page resembles a fansite not an encyclopedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.2.141.122 (talk) 08:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
