[edit] Draft

Added further text for consideration, The primary ref which applies to much of the text, is the first listed, and others might need assigning.Jagra (talk) 06:03, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we need to have the refs associated with the actual statements they support. Refs can be easily re-used, so feel free to plug the first ref in whenever appropriate. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:10, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
