 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Excellent expansion, date checks out, image checks out, and AFG on the hook... although I could swear I owned a copy of "Only the Ball Was White", but can't find it. :-(  Thank you very much for writing such a detailed article.  My only request is that you fix up the citations.  Since you sometimes cite only authors and page numbers after previously citing the whole book, I recommend reformatting your references to use Sfn.  For an example of how it works, see my DYK nom.  Hope that helps. –  Maky  « talk » 08:09, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
