Comments[edit]

Some content regarding critical reception would seem called for. John Carter (talk) 13:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also: isn't it more standard to refer to people by their family name (in this case, "Smart") & not by their first name? (If no one objects, & I remember to check back in a few days, I'll make that change -- but I have no interest in edit-warring over it.) -- llywrch (talk) 00:11, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to change. Names are names, not a big deal and no one should care about the change. Ottava Rima (talk) 04:02, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, finally. :-) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:49, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
