This article's of a fair length (I do not know that much about the topic, and do not know whether or not a lot more could be said). It has a picture, and an infobox which I've added. It needs extra sections at the end - References, External Links, and/or See also. LordAmeth 13:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC) reply

All of which have been added; but still needs in-line refs -- MChew ( talk) 05:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC) reply
