NPOV

edit

This article has serious NPOV violations, mainly around the "talents" section. All material taken from sources should be summarized and phrased in a neutral and encyclopedic tone, something that this article fails to do. Cheers, CP 14:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Agreed! I took a crack at fixing this article. Scott Mingus 20:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
As the one who put it in, the entire numbered list was under the same cite. I feel it describes the individual, which is important as Ellsworth is not that well known. I really don't see it as NPOV< as it was adequately sourced.--Bedford 20:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

No time to do anything with it, but this should be a useful source:
