• Why it should be changed:

These changes are all to either improve accuracy/context, add notable information, or remove extraneous/insufficiently notable information.

Partly done: I've made several of these edits, leaving notes on what was or was not done. The article as a whole needs more work, and I will do some of that as well but separately from this request. Fiske (talk) 13:55, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
