Second copyediting?
While in my opinion this article is already quite readable, in the opinion of a couple of our resident copyeditors, who are very busy with their own projects these days, the article could use another copyediting or, in some places, light rewriting. Please be civil in your remarks here on this talk page, though. --Larry Sanger 22:52, 14 August 2007 (CDT)
Timeline too
You could move the timeline in the article to a timeline page, too. --Larry Sanger 22:27, 17 November 2007 (CST)
