I can't make the entire infobox come up. I'm hoping someone will see this message and fix this for me. T@nn 10:54, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Someone decided to completely rewrite this page, deleting all the information about Richard Roth, CNN correspondent. A revert and disambiguation is required. --Roehl Sybing 00:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

How to handle 'Not to be confused with Richard Roth of CBS News' edit
@Overflower: I disagree with your revert of my edit, for the following reasons.
- Notices warning of possible confusion about who is the subject of an article are conventionally placed at the very top of an article, see Wikipedia:Hatnote. If a reader is looking for the other journalist named Richard Roth then we should put them right as soon as we can.
- Your use of boldface was distracting and does not follow the guidelines in MOS:BOLD.
- External links should not normally be placed in the body of an article, see WP:EL.
- Your link to an external biography of the other Richard Roth does not add to the understanding of the subject of this article.
- You did not give an explanation of your revert an edit summary or on this talk page, see WP:REVEXP.
- You marked the edit as a minor edit, see Help:Minor edit
Please explain why we should prefer your text, or I will re-revert. Verbcatcher (talk) 20:25, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- There has been no reply, so I have re-reverted. Verbcatcher (talk) 19:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
