[edit] Martial Arts Awards?

To me it seems that Paul Stamets' martial arts awards are superfluous and unrelated to the article. Maybe if the article mentioned his martial arts achievements it would be appropriate to include these awards; but as it is, I believe they should be removed. Any objections?

I've gone ahead and made the above edits. Wowbobwow12 20:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Large edit

I've just finished making a large edit, which I hope everyone is OK with. I noticed a couple things that I thought were a problem with the article. First, I thought the setion about his website was too detailed about what it sold and offered as services, and I felt it bordered on advertizing. So I removed the section and cut the material about the website down to one general sentence. Second, I saw no need for an awards section with two awards in it in a bulleted list, so I removed that section too and merged the list into the header in sentence form. Mr Stamets, if you're working on Wikipedia, that's great; we're always excited to get more experts on the project. But please be aware of our conflict of interest guideline and the very serious need for all articles to be written with a neutral point of view. All in all I think it's a good article with no serious problems. Let me know if there's any problem with my edit. Thanks, delldot | talk 02:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
