I have reverted edits made to the Michael DeSisto article. The edits in question were made with a word processor that removed all wikipedia internal links, as well as, all the embedded external links. The front piece picture of the People Magazine article, and the reference to Time magazine were deleted. I have restored them. The People Magazine article, is historically important to Michael DeSisto's biography. Its removal was unnecessary. I have also restored the section about Michael DeSisto's book 'Decoding your teenager: How to understand each other during the turbulent years' and the link to a professional book review of the same. Information relating to the circumstances of DeSisto's master's degree has been restored. The master's degree incident ,as well as, DeSisto's own explanation are related to the publication his book, and is worthy of inclusion in the article. DeSisto's early education, post-secondary schooling, and history as a seminarian have been restored; there is no reason to delete this especially for an educator. I have deleted all external links other than the obituary. They consisted mostly of links about the DeSisto School shortly before and after its closure. Those links would be better placed in the links section of The DeSisto School article. There is some controversy over the events surrounding DeSisto's death. In absence of an official coroner's report, it is improper to say whether the cerebral hemorrhage he suffered was, or was not a complication of the renal transplant surgery he underwent. I have removed the reference to the date of his death November 1 as all saints day, for it is not germane to the article. Wlmg 17:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
