Just read a paper on the topic, and wondered if it would fit here. I try not to make content changes on larger pages without consulting the talk page first. FullyNatural ( talk) 20:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

The added text also suffered from padding, editorializing and below par prose. Graham Beards ( talk) 11:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
