[edit] Removing content

The page as it is now shows everything that's wrong with Wikipedia articles with text dumped from outside sources. In this case, the text is dumped from two outside sources, with different perpsectives, different tone, and different content. Much of the article right now is simply irrelevant to the article itself. The point of an encyclopedia article, a tertiary source, is to clarify, encompass, and explain the secondary sources, at which this article right now utterly fails. It is outdated, unfocused, untidy, and rambling. My version isn't perfect, but it's a start. zafiroblue05 | Talk 04:49, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

welcome to Wikipedia. About half the historical articles have serious problems. Look at those worked over by 25 different people! :) Rjensen 04:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, but this is no reason not to improve it... zafiroblue05 | Talk 01:38, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

you can rewrite information but please do not remove it. Rjensen 01:59, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand what the problem is... I did rewrite some of it, I made it easier to read, and the "removed" information, which doesn't have to do with the article's topic, is in a more appropriate place — and this article links to the other information. zafiroblue05 | Talk 02:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

the removed information was about Bowles editorials and policies and procedures and does belong here. Rjensen 02:18, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
