Talk:Piet van Wyk de Vries

South African Police Force

This is a misnomer - there is no such organisation. Pre '94 there was the South African Police (SAP) and post '94 the South African Police Service (SAPS). There is no SAPF. Could be corrected? Although there is no reference or evidence of any service taking place.

Unit 19

After (noted not exhaustive) research I can find no reference to "Unit 19" anywhere. Nor is there any reference for this. Needs a citation, surely?

Dozi

The Link to Dozi does not point toward an artist - there is no such article on Wikipedia - it points toward a town in Afghanistan. The Artist exists, but I cannot verify that the claim as to being the producer of the album is true. Note that the burden of proof falls on the author making the assertion, am I right?

Pseudonyms

"Due to his extensive use of pseudonyms, it is almost impossible to track his works and involvement in the South African music business. Nobody is sure how many songs of his has been recorded and covered yet, but most people who are close to him describe it as "hundreds". Not EMI music publishing, nor the Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO), are prepared to clarify this, for reasons of confidentiality."

Doesn't the above basically say that the author can claim what ever he likes, it doesn't matter if it is verifiable or not because "confidentiality"? If the above cannot be substantiated should it be in a encyclopedia? Are his closest friends citable as sources here?
