[edit]I've reverted your changes. The edit summary "Merged per discussion" was misleading at best as no content of the articles were merged but in actually was reverted to an earlier, bad version.
Wikipedia has strict guidelines on biographies for living persons. Those guidelines exist for good reasons. We must all abide by them lest the quality of the article suffers and people be hurt unnecessarily, despite our best intentions. Here's a short excerpt: Biographies of living people should be written responsibly, conservatively, and in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. While a strategy of eventualism may apply to other subject areas, badly written biographies of living persons should be stubbed or deleted. The article should document, in a non-partisan manner, what reliable third party sources have published about the subject and, in some circumstances, what the subject may have published about themselves. The writing style should be neutral, factual, and understated, avoiding both a sympathetic point of view and an advocacy journalism point of view.
I encourage you to read the rest here and come discuss it if you have something to add.
Finally, if you're new to Wikipedia, welcome :) Jean-Philippe 21:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
