Cleanup Request

Could somebody take some time to clean up this page. There is a lot of poor grammar and POV text. If someone has one, a picture would also be a worthwhile addition. Ed 14:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a quick job on this. Still needs more work though. Arthur Holland 13:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i agree this article could be cut down considerably the word legend is used far too much!

Not encyclopedic

"He famously owns the only Hummer in the British Isles." Statements like this are often only true at the time of writing and can rapidly become dated which is terribly poor writing style for an encyclopedia. Perhaps the sentence can be rephrased, but it may be better to remove it entirely.

Conversion to Islam Quote

In 1997, Eubank converted to Islam [2]

"When I realized I had sense, I was on my mother's knee in church, so I was brought up with God being the cornerstone of my life, and my understanding of Islam is that if you are a good Christian then you are a Muslim. This view some would not agree with, however this is my my view. So long as you believe in doing good and not promoting badness then you are God's man or woman". - Chris Eubank, June 21, 2006.

Surely, Eubank being British this quote should be written in English rather than American English. Realized is spelt with an 's' rather than a z in English-English. Also there are two mys in this quote rather than the one. I'll make the alterations in a sec.

Think Chris may have written this article himself! - A part of a golden era though- the article should say millions, not billions...

Is this article for real?? I'm starting a major clean-up - phrases such as "Whilst gallantly protecting weaker pupils from bullies" have no place in an encyclopedia Speedything 09:24, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok - I've taken out the most extreme POV but this article is still very poor. There is only a single reference and that's about the anti-war activism, there not a single source to back up any of the actual boxing 'facts'. I'm not denying the guy is influential but I don't think he is anywhere near as important as this article would like to make out. Billions of viewers for one of his events?? Only in his dreams.

Removal of weasel words and sourcing

I have just reverted this page to how it was after I made my changes. This article is bad enough without a single source but phrases such as 'legendary boxer' and 'one of the greatest matches of all time' are not acceptible. If a verifiable and noteworthy source could be quoted and referenced then I will leave it but until then I strongly advise Chris and Chris' fanclub to stop wasting their time trying to make this article as glowing as possible Speedything 08:14, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Once again I find myself flushing this page of POV, unsourced rubbish and weasel words. If the anonymous contributor wishes to discuss this then please feel free to use this talk page - I will be more than happy to listen and work with them. Speedything 16:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New to wikipedia

HAHA that introduction is quite amusing. I've no idea about the background and celebrity aspects of the page but as a student sports journalist and boxing writer the boxing 'facts' are down to me, writing articles is valuable portfolio work, if someone could clear up the referencing I'd appreciate it and please try to not delete the account of his career, I assure you it is accurate. Much appreciated. Oh and by the way I assure you it is not Eubank, but yes the account of a fine career does sound somewhat glowing. Sorry for the inconvenience 1fletch 16:49, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
