I've moved the rough biographical details left at the foot of the article to the article talk page so that you can find them. I've done what I can to tidy up the article and provide a few references, which is a start and should help avoid it being nominated for deletion. I would strongly recommend copying the entire article to a sandbox and working on it there until it's finished and it meets Wikipedia's standards. It's really worth reading the guidelnes for new articles in the list above. They can be very helpful for new editors and may prevent the disappointment of seeing work you've done being removed by other editors. You might also like to add the new page template to the top of the main article while you work on the copy in your sandbox. If you need any help, leave a message on my talk page.--Plad2 (talk) 07:30, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
