Puff

Even though the subject is notable, this article remains filled with PUFF and excessive material better suited to a CV. Many sections are burdened with undue weight and will need to be radically downsized. I'll have a bit of a go at it myself. Taroaldo (talk) 03:10, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

OK, made a bit of a dent in it there. That's all I have time for right now. I think the puff is down to a more manageable level. Taroaldo (talk) 03:48, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Helping this article

My suggestion would be for editors to try discussing major changes to this article before making them. There has been so much undue weight given to elements of this article, and adding listings of countless trivial positions and such is not helping clear up the issue.
