[edit] {{cleanup}}
A lot of work has gone into this article. Unfortunately, the anon editors involved produce long lists rather than encyclopedic text; there's not a single sentence to be found. Apparently they have no clue about the MoS, either. That wouldn't be all that bad if they didn't insist on blowing away the few lines we once had that could have provided context and intro. I marked the page with {{cleanup}}, maybe someone else can fix this. Rl 15:40, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
- I reinstated the {{cleanup|December 2005}} tag, and will begin working on cleanup. Though, I'm also fine with merging this article. --Aude 04:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Timeline
Is the timeline information already present in the career information, or is it in the process of being merged, or what's going on? A list is quite unnecessary. superman 18:52, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- The timeline can be removed, though if there are important details to merge into the text, that's fine. Also, the references and links are excessive, and need formatting. -Aude (talk | contribs) 20:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
- The references and links seem to just be a collection of all the materials in the world that mention Yost's name--I don't think any of it is actually relevant to the article. I think it should all be removed, frankly. Thoughts? superman 01:55, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- I entirely agree with you on this point. Since there have been no objections to your proposal, I am going to drastically reduce the number of links and references included in the article. I figured that a contemplation time of over 2 weeks has been enough for everyone to bring up possible objections. Since none were voiced, I will proceed. --Vargher 21:47, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
- Note: I have checked the search engines in order to find websites which might offer a biography and the main ideology of Yost. I have found none which would be actually relevant to the article. That is why I simply removed ALL links and the external references, which, as has been mentioned multiple times in the discussion, have been of little value as well. --Vargher 21:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
