fixed it —Preceding unsigned comment added by SingingZombie ( talk • contribs) 02:09, 5 September 2009

Not quite. Although it was drastically shortened, it still contained a verbatim (unattributed) sentence. I've fixed this now. I have also added a source. Note that articles must be sourced, and particularly biographies of living people. Please read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, Wikipedia:Plagiarism, Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing, and Wikipedia:Copyright violations. Voceditenore ( talk) 05:22, 5 September 2009 (UTC) reply
