[edit] Trivia section

The following information was recently added to a "Trivia" section by an anonymous editor:

• Went to Chillingham Road Primary school and wrote a poem for them. Because they thought it would inspire the pupils. Also appeared on Radio 4 in an interview there.
• Has released a sequel to 'We're going on a bear hunt' called 'The bear in the cave'.

I've removed it from the main article for two reasons: (1) it is unreferenced; and (2) trivia sections are to be avoided as they encourage editors to add miscellaneous facts to the article. If references can be found for the information, it can be integrated back into the main text of the article. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 10:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "See above"

i'm a 1-armed typist at the moment as i hurt my shoulder through excessive repetitive editing...

the 'see above' refers to the son's illness - i had seen the death of the son before reading about his illness above. i didn't want to repeat the illness, so added that instead. perhaps 'as described above' would be clearer - Rothorpe (talk) 17:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC) - also reverting 'see above' accidentally put in ref.

Hi, Rothorpe. I don't think the "(see above)" is really necessary. The article is not very long, and anyone who reads it will discover the relevant information fairly quickly. Can we agree to remove it? And I hope your arm recovers soon! — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 18:36, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

thanxx. i've moved it, as i prefer it thus, but change it back if you wish. Rothorpe (talk) 21:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

No, that's fine. I've just deleted a redundant reference to "1999". — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 23:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

ok, cheers - Rothorpe (talk) 00:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
