Wikiquette forbids me from making any kind of significant change here, but speaking as objectively as possible, I'd make this a little shorter in view of the relative insignificance of the subject. -Colby Cosh, 9:23 MST 9/12/05

Your modesty becomes you! But compare... Rachel Marsden?

Well, the Rachel Marsden page is a story into itself. But I can see Colby's point that the article is oddly long; it's about three times the size of of David Warren (columnist) despite Warren having been in the journalism game for many more years. This seems to be a bias in Wikipedia towards longer articles going to those who (a) have been more active in recent years and have (b) left extensive online tracks through blogs and such. My suggestion on tightening it up would be to get rid of the more laundry list-like parts of the article. I doubt that readers need to know the name of every publication he's written for, or every interest he has, and so on. Ianking 03:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
