Article needs serious work
I know it's "allowed" here to cut and paste Wikipedia articles. But it's damned lazy, especially when the article that's being copied has major problems on the home Wiki. We've taken an unreferenced, biased, flagged article on Wikipedia and just plopped it down in our Wiki. What sense is there in that, even if our rules "allow" it? I've tried to start the process of adding references (okay, I added one so far), but there's got to be a way to compile an article about JNT which takes referenced points of view from across the spectrum of opinion about the man. There's just no excuse for this article to be unreferenced when so much has been written about the guy.

The article should also have some kinda mention of the major hotspots in his career. The Tom Baker/JNT tension deserves a small section of its own, as does the Eric Saward/JNT battle, his reluctant role in firing Colin Baker, and his seemingly never-ending quest to leave the producer's office. Or to put it more accurately, his endless statements that he wanted to leave, even though he was given the opportunity to do so.

The article, overall, just says the same unreferenced things multiple times, and in the end gives no real meaty substance.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  18:58, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
