[edit] What I mean by cleanup

This article presents an anecdote as fact. I see that at least one person has seen the newspaper. This isn't ideal because we're relying on a Wikipedian's interpretation of a primary source. I would happily delete this article because I don't think it tells us anything reliable. I'm impressed by what has been done so far, but I expect a lot more. So in the next couple of months I'd like to see Mr Herpin has been described in the literature of the subject (read: peer reviewed journals) or in independent sources. --Tony Sidaway 02:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
