I appreciate your viewpoint Keithbob While I agree that a rewrite to be more concise is a reasonable future goal I certainly disagree that the revised sections I ve prepared perpetuate any problems they simply don t address and weren t designed to address the concerns you raise They are merely intended to correct inaccuracies update figures make language clearer and verify information I strongly object to the notion that the writing style is deeply flawed I am always careful to write in an encyclopedic tone with NPOV in mind Perhaps these new versions are not perfect but I do submit that they are an improvement Even if this more detailed material should eventually be forked I think what I am writing now could be the basis of that fork So I ll hope you reconsider however I will also ask others for their views Best Talk
