[edit] Copyright violation

The original content of this page [1] is a copyright violation of [2], as pointed out by Giano_II. I have begun rewriting the article to avoid this. "Early Life" is rewritten, but further material remains to be removed. Choess 02:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

The rewrite is complete. Choess 17:22, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Well done! --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. As I said to Giano, there's still something of a void at the heart of the article — it doesn't really do a good job of describing what Lauder's act was like, what his talents were, and so on. Music hall performers, alas, are really beyond my competence, but I suppose we'll have to trust in eventualism to fix up the article in that respect. Choess 19:06, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Knighthood

I understand Sir Harry Lauder was the first musichall artist to be knighted. can anyone confirm this? (Trevek (talk) 22:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC))
