Removing the term Pirate Radio because it cannot be established if the transmission is licenced or not. At present all that is known is that the station is based in london, but the location of the transmitter is unknown. BaronVonchesto ( talk) 17:30, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
--Jaban, Peter John-- I have removed a line which claimed that there were death threats. I could not find any except that there was one indicating that he did received death threats - from an Interview with London eneving Standard Tabloid, given by John Jaban himself ( WP:EXCEPTIONAL) The removal of his claim that he was fired was also done based on the same, another assertion backed only by a tabloid report which was an interview report of the person concerned.

Thanks for your contributions, especially for the cleaning up of the Radio Free Sarawak article. I have reinstated the "Arrests" section because it is verifiable in the online news portals. A dead link does not justify the removal of the Wikipedia information, as mentioned in this wiki page Wikipedia:Link rot. Here is the following quote:
"Do not delete cited information solely because the URL to the source does not work any longer. WP:Verifiability does not require that all information be supported by a working link, nor does it require the source to be published online."
You can actually copy the URL of the dead link into this website Internet Archive Wayback Machine to see what the page looked like before the link was dead or to search online if there is any other sources that substantiate the claim before you decided to remove the information. I know this can take a lot of time but I believe this is the only way that Wikipedia article can be improved over time and I have always been doing it this way.
