message: I noticed the birthdate is unsourced... looking back, it was added by an anonymous user whose only edits are vandalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Marcus_Evans&diff=prev&oldid=275174564).  I'm new so I can't do anything about it (page is semi-protected), but I think it should be removed, unless someone can provide a source. Thoughts? Itstrh (talk) 11:08, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the birthdate, since it was unsourced, and added by an account whose only other contributions were vandalism (212.44.45.157), thus I suspect it's likely not accurate.  If anyone can find an appropriate source, please feel free to add it back in, with citation. Itstrh (talk) 16:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: After confirming copyvios' from these three sources I decided  that the only solution was a to revert the article back to the version from 4 december 2008. Nearly all prose added after that date was added by a known copyright violator and very likely to be a copyvio. It was impossible to remove the copyrighted material from subsequent improvements. I have left the references in the article if somebody wants to rebuild it. Yoenit (talk) 12:42, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: The mention of Moneyweek stating that no photographs are publicly available is kind of cute, but it supports myth building, which isn't good for the over-all quality of Wikipedia articles. Although it may have been true at the time, it isn't clear why Moneyweek would be a reliable source in this matter. To avoid any continued myth building by Wikipedia --something an objective encyclopaedia probably wants to avoid at all cost-- I'd propose to remove this claim or to make clear that its status is that of an anecdote. Currently, photographs are available, though copyrighted and hence not freely available yet publicly available, e.g. at http://www.therichest.com/celebnetworth/celebrity-business/men/marcus-evans-net-worth/ (as of 18 March 2014). This proofs my claim that Moneyweek's statement is anecdotic at best.  Xtalkprogrammer (talk) 22:24, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

message: No word on how his private deal with former Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) President Pat Hickey for his company THG to sell Olympics tickets for Irish customers and tickets earmarked for compeditors and their families has landed both Hickey and the OCI in very hot water, especially after THG were banned from selling tickets for the Rio Olympics for illegally selling tickets for London 2012? Surely Wikipedia's NPOV should demand inclusion of the bad stuff as well as the hagiography.83.136.45.180 (talk) 18:53, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
