While your work here is impressive, it's more like your wrote the article from scratch rather than copy edited existing text. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 13:30, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

4. Great job of article improvement generally. I have a couple of comments on the writing -- see Discussion. --Stfg (talk) 14:00, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

• Great job improving the article. An easy support. Please note that "behaviour" is the correct spelling in British English; "behavior" is strictly American. The same applies to colour, neighbour, demeanour, honour, favour and probably a few more I cant think of at the moment (but tenor is the same both sides of the Atlantic). The other thing is please to be more sparing with dashes -- they aren't the equivalent of commas. Almost -- if not quite all -- the commas you replaced with dashes would have been better left as commas -- the dashes give a breathlessly excited effect -- like a schoolboy's diary. (See what I mean?) Dashes surrounding parenthetical clauses are used for special purposes like highlighting a contrast. --Stfg (talk) 14:00, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
