De Fourestier, Jeffrey (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (added by closing admin)

Extensive vanity bio of a "self-described renaissance man" who "got to know the movers and shakers of Quebec society" without being a mover or shaker of said society. He wrote some papers, including "the definitive history" of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Gotta give him credit for sheer nerve. Delete. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC) PS.
