*We need to trim the article a bit, but in fact that's just great as far as I'm concerned!  We've got some content to spare!  We just need to spin off more of the longer descriptions into sub-pages and use the  template to direct the curious reader there.  This model is typical of "high level" broad articles like this one, see Chemical substance for an example.  All country articles like France are like this - you have a short history section that begins with a link to History of France, then similar sections on Politics, Geography, Economy, Culture etc.
