"Elton has had a chequered personal history. Coming out first as bisexual in 1980, he married (1984) and quickly divorced (1988) Renate Blauel. He subsequently stated that he was homosexual and has lived with his partner David Furnish, for a number of years. He has occasionally battled addictions to cocaine and financial difficulties caused by his profligate spending.": I'm not sure if homosexuality should be lumped in with cocaine addiction and financial difficulties as something that "checkers" one's history. orthogonal 00:09, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Rewrite

I'd rewrite the whole article to give it a better flow. Seems like no ones watching. Should I go to the authors talk page? Atticus 23:58, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)

What author? Nah - just do it. If it's no good, we can always revert it ;-) Graham 02:54, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I ended up making only a few changes. The whole thing could be rewritten, but that's it for now. Thanks for the good word Grahm. Atticus 03:12, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)

Dashes

I believe this edit to be an improvement, but another user felt it worth breaking the three revert rule by reverting four times in 24 hours. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 08:14, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dashes) may be of some help to you both? And pointing out the three revert rule to the person in question, particularly the relatively recent amendment to that rule (which states users can be banned for a period of 24 hours for violating this rule) may be good as well. →Reene✎ 08:30, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)
