Not bad at all! I made a few grammar and formating edits, I also added a few wikilinks, and tried to limit redundancy. You can use the page history to see my edit summaries, which I tried to make concise and detailed. If anything I've done doesn't seem right or you don't understand please drop me a note, and I'll try to explain better. Happy editing. ] &#124; ] 16:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
:: Good edits, thanks! I fixed a few formatting issues, but I think the content is useable now, as is. Not sure about getting something like this in mainspace, but I can't help but think that this would be useful. I probably have it on the wrong type of page (talk, oops) to begin with anyway. going to remove the temp/intro page now. I asked two others, no feedback from them (wasn't expecting much). Thanks for taking the time! ] (]) 17:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

::::Good idea, if you have an idea on that, please pitch in and make the change. I may have started the essay, but the goal is to not 'own' it, and perhaps find a place in mainspace that it may be useful (my personal goal). I started a rough section for it, needs some attention by persons with more better grammar ;) ] (]) 14:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
