::I disagree with your characterization of this article as having a "long-recognized need" for being "fixed".  Actually, Dick, I think your "fixes" create more problems than they solve  both in harming the article's content, and in creating an environment that is hostile to collaboration.  You have demonstrated a real talent for irritating and anti-consensus editing here.  At this point, I think it would be reasonable for you to assume that every single change you want to make that can't legitimately be marked "minor" is something that you should propose in advance.
