 * Thanks so much for your efforts and contributions, KyleT29. With respect, while I appreciate the interest of you, Mr. Treu in this instance, or any other good-faith contributors, in having this, or any, article be accurate and complete, the principles that govern Wikipedia are not such that individuals - particularly those for whom an article is written about decide what is to be written, or how it is written.  That is always welcome for individual histories, self-promoting websites, or other resources.  One of the needs this article probably has is more actual encyclopedia-like references and writing that comes from external and independent sources.  There are also WP guidelines which caution against conflict of interest which may be helpful in review.  Thanks again for your interest in productive contributions to WP.
