Looks like Shane And Lance both appear in the Shane Atkinson article. I think they should be split or article should separate into 2 sections, 1 for Shane and 1 for Lance.

Juha then published a series three articles. 11:17 AM Tuesday Aug 19, 2003 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=3518744 9:21 PM Thursday Aug 21, 2003 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=3519278 4:20 PM Tuesday Sep 23, 2003 http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=3518097
