Article on you
In the article Christian de Quincey I have made numerous small changes in how the facts are presented. In its prior state, even after edition by several authors, the article appeared more like a résumé than an entry in an encyclopedia; I now do hope that I have made sufficient adjustment of the article for it to merit NPOV status in Wikipedia (and have accordingly removed the ugly "neutrality is disputed" box at the top). That said, if I have, in doing so, compromised the accuracy of its factual content, please don't hesitate to correct me! --Omphaloscope 17:26, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
