Laura Enfield (15 November 2014). "Laura Enfield talks to Alan Davies ahead of his show Little Victories at the Watford Colosseum". Watford Observer. Archived from the original on 2014-12-01. Retrieved 1 December 2014. "I'm not a pescetarian. Someone put it on Wikipedia and it slightly dogs me," he groans. "I can't do anything because I tried to edit my Wikipedia page a few years ago and ended up getting banned from Wikipedia. "Unless you've got some proof when you put something on there they won't accept it. "So I said 'the proof is that it's me and I would consider myself the leading authority on my life'. But no, they disagreed with me on that." The comedian, famous for appearing on cerebral series QI and mystery crime drama Jonathan Creek, grows increasingly animated as he continues: "I haven't looked at my Wikipedia page for years because it would make me incensed."
The article currently says "Davies became a vegetarian when he was a student and participated in animal rights organisations" and this source is given [1] but the source does not mention animal rights or Davies being a vegetarian so this is original research and a failed citation. There is no evidence Davies was a vegetarian in the past. In a recent 2021 interview, Davies stated " I eat fish, but no meat, so there’s no big Sunday roast. Occasionally I’ll cook salmon steaks with olive oil and garlic, which is lush." [2]Psychologist Guy (talk) 09:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have replaced the lengthy enumeration of different times Davies has commented on his diet to just, "Davies eats fish but not meat." This is all that is required: it is confusing and unnecessary to quote several different comments at length, as this gives the impression that they contradict each other. — Bilorv (talk) 23:26, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
