Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Kevin Nalty. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 01:58, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Same applies to Cory Williams and Fred (YouTube). – ukexpat (talk) 01:59, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

Hi there, be careful when editing articles written in US English. For them, band names and sports teams take a singular verb, i.e. the New York Jets is a sports team etc. It's weird to Brits, but there it is. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:35, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bad example, sorry. In American English the verb treatment for sports teams does vary. But generally they take the singular, like band names, i.e. Nirvana is a rock band etc. I'm not explaining it terribly well, but there are guidelines, like WP:PLURALS.
