 * I am wondering why you have made the changes to Tarkan's page - when the pages of other celebrities (see Robbie Williams) has not been changed - and there are "unsourced" quotes there, too. By the way - those "unsourced comments" are sourced - from his IMDb profile and from artquotes - they were published in an Q & A interview on his official site in 2004. Your "intervention" has ruined the style of the site. Please give me a good excuse, before I assume racisim. 82.145.231.12 14:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The changes I made to this page were to meet the Templates/People. I'm not quite sure how my changes ruined any style or evoke any racism. Now that you have brought Robbie Williams to my attention, I will make similar changes there. The Tarkan page just happened to be one of the newest pages, and caught my attention. As for the sourced versus unsourced, we need a little more than saying that a given quote is from someone's IMDB profile. If they are from an interview (that as you say is posted on his website), then provide that information and the quotes can be moved to the sourced section (See Citing sources). I don't think any of my changes were unreasonable. ~ UDScott 14:54, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Please follow Templates/People, the formatting way based on consensus and project policies. Do not push your favorite way. You have no good reason to push your preferences to the website which is run by many volunteers based on policies and guidelines. If you would like to organize your quotes in your way, you can find a place on other websites. But here on Wikiquote, if you persistently try to push your way, and not give ears to other editors' advice, you may be blocked from editing.  --Aphaia 19:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've reformatted the page (with the recent additions) to fit the template. You will also notice that I did go and clean up the Robbie Williams page. ~ UDScott 19:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
