I find myself agreeing with David on this. Although my opinion on the article does not really matter. What does matter is that at first glance it does look non-NPOV. I think David has done the right thing by being bold. An action that we should all be open to taking when we see things that need changing/adding/editing on any language version of Wikipedia. T
If there are others who feel strongly about the article as it was then it can be discussed on the articles talk page. Regards, Douglas.
