text: Verifiability is a core Wikipedia policy. If you are unable to provide reliable sourcing for the quotes, they should go.--Nydas(Talk) 11:34, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to agree. The quotes as they stand are poor - they are out of context and unsourced. David is a very quotable character and so there perhaps should be a couple of choice examples with source so people can get the idea. For those live off the cuff remarks, although millions have heard them, that isn't enough for verification. As a minimum we'd need the participants of the match he was commentating on and a rough date but ideally something like this where his comments are mentioned elsewhere in editorial print or a book title and author. I would suggest leaving in the "Could you take away the pain but leave the swelling?" quote with context (ie just after being hit in the knackers by Thomson) with a link to it on Youtube for verification, and perhaps 2 or 3 others tops. Other stuff should go to wikiquote. --LiamE 14:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Erm... if the "other sources" which you speak of are used to cite the "colour" then that is fine. The users above were discussing "colour" that had no citations, and they are correct in stating that uncited material should be removed from wikipedia's biographies. There are no "exclusionist zealots", just people following a policy you ought to read up on. :) SGGH speak! 19:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
