Cleanup

I added the {{cleanup}} tag to this page after looking at it for the first time in several months. The content is good, but the paragraphs are very large and "big" feeling. The references need to be formatted, and photos would be a great addition. There probably should be some sectioning as well. I am just beginning my PhD (in Houghton!) so I'm unfortunately too busy to do much work myself. I'd be glad to help find pictures, though. -- dcclark (talk) 16:22, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've formatted as suggested. Took off the "clean-up" tag. A picture would still be a great addition.... Glendoremus 22:57, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
