a hotty?

[edit]

OK--whoever contributed this, "his foundation bitch, Ali Griffin, was quite a hotty," needs to get a medal or a barnstar of sorts. Brilliant! (though very, very unencyclopedic, haha). Drmies (talk) 17:41, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Light copy edit, Sept 2012

[edit]

The article was tagged about a year ago with "cleanup", "confusing" and "copy edit" tags. I've done a copy edit just now as part of the September 2012 GOCE drive, but deliberately did as little as possible. This is because it is taken from the 1911 Britannica and, although it is very old-fashioned, it was well-written in the style of the time and I didn't want to spoil that.

That isn't meant to be obstructive. If anyone wanted to get rid of the editorialising and flattery in the article and produce a genuine modern article with citations, that would be great. It's only that while all we have is this uncited little essay, we might as well enjoy it as is until someone produces something better. Hope that's OK. --Stfg (talk) 09:58, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
