Name edit

Oz and James drink to britain it is "revealed" he is called Robin, obviously someone has just gone ahead and edited the page without sourcing it. I suggest its removed until a source is shown.--82.42.150.196 (talk) 20:20, 27 January 2009 (UTC) Thought i would sign in... --Uksam88 (talk) 20:26, 27 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree, until there is WP:RS there is no reason to take the TV mention as encyclopedic gospel, as per WP:BLP. MURGH disc. 03:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
This is getting annoyingly repetitive, and it's only going to get worse in an hours time when the programme is repeated on BBC2 at 7pm.--Uksam88 (talk) 18:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Image edit

Fer1984 added an image, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oz_Clarke1.jpg, that looks fine on its own page but on this page has multiple black bands that make it unusable.

That might be caused by my configuration but I am Win XP SP3 and Firefox 3.6.17 (monitor is 1280x1024) which I don't think is that obscure. The same problem appears on the photo's page for the 07:34, 26 May 2011 thumbnail but not for the current one.

I also checked in IE7 and that does not show the picture at all on the Oz Clarke page nor the old thumbnail.

Definitely deserves a Mid importance for the Wine Project as perhaps the wine writer best known to the general public in the UK, admittedly more for his TV work than his (many) books.
