[edit] Removal of quotes

Anon editor User:82.35.199.95 that has been removing content from this article has posted the following to Wikipedia:Request for immediate removal of copyright violation:

My comedy lines are not available for free perusal..please remove them from my page immediately. [1]

I personally can't imagine that Mr. Sadowitz (if this is indeed he) has any possible grounds to claim copyright infringement for the quoting of a few individual lines from public performances? --Stormie 01:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

It seems pretty clear that the few quotes on the page are being used to illustrate and critique Jerry's style and performance. While a listing of jokes with no other purpose would be a copyright violation, the use of a few selected quotes for the purpose of illustration and critique qualifies as fair use under US copyright laws. -Lanoitarus _^(talk) .:. 01:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gobshite album

This was available for a while, probably only sold at gigs. I have a prized copy in my collection. Readers might also be interested to know that a copy was lodged with the National Sound Archive at the British Library (Catalogue: 1LP0007517 S1-2 GOBSHITE ).

[edit] Hmm.

Sadowitz also appeared in the music video of The Shamen's UK number 1 hit from 1992 "Ebenezer Goode", and helped get now-famous mentalist Derren Brown his first shows on Channel 4.

[edit] Date of birth

Anonymous editors have changed the date of birth back and forth between 4 June 1961 and 4 November 1961. I can't find a good source either way with a quick Google. Can anyone provide a reliable answer as to which is correct? --Stormie 11:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

This page goes for November, and isn't a wikipedia mirror. How reliable it is, I have no idea. --Aim Here 11:54, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Nice one. --Stormie 13:05, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
