I noticed that Colin Ross had no article on Wikipedia, despite a good dozen or more articles mentioning him but with nowhere to link to. So I did some basic Google research and put together a biography here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Ross_%28pipemaker%29 If anyone has info to add, I'd be interested to hear it. CAVEAT: Wikipedia has become (rightfully) pretty picky in what can be included in biographies, particularly of living people, so I'm not looking for so much "hey, I know that Colin once..." so much as "on page 73 of 'The Fiddlers and the Rants' published in 1988 by MacMillan, it says that Colin..." What I'm hoping to find is verifiable info from published sources (books, newspapers, journals like Common Stock, etc) info to add to the article. If anyone has such info, you can add it directly, or I'd be happy to help you out or do it for you. If anyone is in email contact with Mr Ross, I'd like to contact him about getting a good publicity photo released to the Public Domain. Again, Wikipedia can't just use random google images; pics must either be clearly marked in the public domain, or specifically released to such by the owner. If anyone can help build the article with _footnoted_ sources, or can help me acquire Public Domain rights to an photo of Mr Ross, it'd go a long way towards helping publicise his work to a broader audience. -Matthew --
