Article praises subject excessively[edit]

The article lavishes a great deal of praise on the subject, in violation of WP:NPOV. I am unable to rectify that problem accurately, due to my lack of knowledge of the subject. Could someone who knows a substantial amount about him, remove untrue praise, and reduce exaggerated praise. Werdnawerdna (talk) 10:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was no untrue praise, but I tried to clean it up a bit to make it more encyclopedic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.8.118.220 (talk) 04:04, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty much impossible to praise Dave McKenna's playing excessively... Gillartsny16:43, 5 May 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gillartsny (talk • contribs)

Cause of death[edit]

The article does not state the cause of his death; his article on German Wikipedia states he died of lung cancer. Can anyone confirm his cause of death, as a Wikipedia in a foreign language, and/or a source in a foreign language are insufficient. Please add relevant death cause categories. Werdnawerdna (talk) 10:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He did in fact die of lung cancer.
