Wow, the talk page is insane, and is one reason why I gave up in the beginning. I might take a stab on my own userspace to re-write this article. I'm somewhat addicted fixing crappy BLP's. Perhaps I'll send it your way (here) before I post it. On 4/13/2011 3:15 PM, Mackenzie Morgan

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danese_Cooper I was able to find a citing source about your knitting, but, I can't use the self-published sources about your dads car. Now, if someone wants to interview you and write that article, then sweet, I can use it =) Sarah On 4/13/2011 3:58 PM, Danese
