Corrections and additions available

Checking to see if Dikran had any new projects coming up I discovered the link to this page. I have noticed that the information in this article is almost word for word taken from other material on the Internet. That needs to be changed. There are errors involved: Dikron Tulane is implied as his birth name which it isn't. His real name is John Dikran Utidjian. He took his stage surname from Tulane University and changed the spelling of it after he left the band. I have extensive material from his resume, with citations, and material from interviews and conversations with him over the years. I don't know how involved he has been in knowing about this page, his input or wishes, and don't want to cross any lines if he has requested limits on information, but I have seen a good deal of his theatrical, television and film work, know the highlights of his career, and am well aware of how private he is about his personal life. I have photographs from the Atlanta Shakespeare Company. I know how to keep the article on the topic of his career and his work and give a fair assessment of that work. His best work has not been cited. While we have been friends and co-workers in the past we are not close now so I think I can remain fairly neutral. As soon as I am clear about terms and conditions and references, and how to do proper edits on Wikipedia, I will start editing. Any questions? Speruoc (talk) 03:00, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to edit the article. As far as I know, Tulane hasn't been involved in it in any way. The info here is, as you say, taken from Internet research. Note that original research is frowned upon in Wikipedia, so it will be helpful if you can reference sources. You shouldn't use your photos unless you own the copyrights. To get started, click "edit" at the top of the article. If you don't understand the coding, just leave it for someone else to fix. Pkeets (talk) 03:38, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The first edit is done, I think I picked up all the coding correctly so far. Much more to come. He's been a busy man. Speruoc (talk) 17:47, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good. The only suggestion I have is to add the accessdate= to the citation information on sources so people know when you've added it. Just use date= to show the date when the source was published. Pkeets (talk) 23:06, 4 November 2015 (UTC)\[reply]

No image?

I didn't know this guy was in Madness (the band, Madness (band)) but seeing now he has no image attached. Searching his name comes up with from what I can tell different people, the main being in the Walking Dead.Someone please attach an image if possible since that seems a good idea. I'm not sure which is he. Constantos (talk) 23:15, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
