 * I'm trying to redistribute certain information on the "past" and "present" into other sections to prevent discourses on history from becoming bloated. I understand it's important to take this group in historical perspective, but we would go on so many tangents, as is common in the literature. Arsonal (talk) 20:11, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
