The prose in this article is seriously wordy and awkward in some places, and melodramatic and overwrought in others. I've tried to clean it up but it could stand more work. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 16:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Could we please format the refs with {{ cite news}} instead of {{ cite web}}? It's much more useful for articles from newspapers. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 21:24, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
has given him a lifetime subscription as well as other benefits. I heard this on CNN Headline Prime just now. Should we include? Bearly 541 23:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
But yeah, it was pretty amazing. I enter that station every day and I STILL can't see how he fit under the train. 24.239.136.184 18:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
If he was born in 1956, he could only have been at the tail end of the Vietnam War. We pulled combat units out in 1973 and completely left in 1975. I'd like to know more about his service in the Navy. Rlevse 03:05, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
What's the story on the guy whose life he saved (Cameron)? He has no wikipedia entry, and in google searches I have found no mention of his appreciation for his life being saved, aside from his mother. It seems like he would be just as interesting to learn about as the guy who saved him. User:Mark 13:21, 10 January 2007 (PDT)
I agree with SINsApple. What actually happened? The first reports said he appeared to recover and then stumbled. Either way accusing him of not cooperating seems misplaced. On the 'wikipedia entry for cameron' thought I would say 'no'. He is not sufficiently notable IMHO. A google search will in any event turn his name up at the Wesley Autrey article. -- Adam Brink 10:22, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure you guys know this but when the guy is having a seizure he's going to be thrashing all over the place. By saying "[he] did not cooperate" means in this context seems to mean that his flailing caused problems. Bradkoch2007 04:55, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
It says a Disney ambassador gave "plushes" to his kids. What is that? User:Pedant 06:15, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Here's the pic pic
Thanks. User:Pedant
There are a few differences between this article and the one in the NY Times from Jan. 3. The Times article states that the man who was rescued is 20. The Wiki article says he is 19.
Also the Times says five train cars rolled over them. The Wiki article says two.
Which article is incorrect?
Here is the link for the Times article, which is by the way referenced at the bottom of the Wiki article.

The first story had a number of details that were changed in later stories. The Age story says 19 [2] and the BBC says two cars [3]. Given that they're later, I'm going to trust them. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 09:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
If anybody can clean this up and make it better that would be great. I couldn't believe there wasn't a page on this after the President mentioned him in the State of the Union. He also has more media appearances then listed here. I would like to make a comprehensive list.
Can somebody please find a picture that would be allowed to be put on here!!! Butnotthehippo 03:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
There's some wretched sentence structure on that portion.....I'm going to delete some. Someone else can do a revert and a clean-up if they're up for it. Buddpaul ( talk)
