Over two-thirds of this article's prose is directly quoted. While given the age of most of the material this isn't a copyright issue, it is a style issue - that's too much quoting, and the article would be better served by replacing some of the longer quotes with short ones and paraphrases.

- Done - quotes mainly summarized or shortened, have tested all for strict relevance. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:13, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
While I still think the quoting's a bit much, it's good enough for DYK. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:56, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
