message: I'm absolutely appalled at the state this article is in. It's messy and unnecessarily long and I did my best on fixing some parts of it. Hope this page does get fixed up completely sometime. --BrydoF1989 (talk) 09:37, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Another one of the pages that should be improved for year, is send to AfD because in the present state it is useless and then people vote against deletion as it can be improved. Unfortunately, those people who say it van be improved, disappear in thin air and absolutely nothing happens. So we are stuck with another rotten article due to voting-but-not-acting-keep-as-it-can-be-improved voters. *sigh* The Banner talk 19:58, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
