Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Tom Captain.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tom Captain, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Namely, saying that Tom Captain is an "industry veteran" in the first sentence is akin to introducing Barack Obama as a veteran politician without giving a hint that he's President. --  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 18:44, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
