Oops, sorry about the
Must have misread the article, and missed the notability-Empyrycal 06:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point. I believe the notability is established and do not contest that. However, I would like to see some other editors provide sources for this article. Ronbo76 06:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
