Article an an absolutely abysmal state

Latest comment: 3 months ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Looking at this article, all I can say is that it needs to be rewritten from scratch. The state of this article is abysmal. I will be rewriting this article to align it with scholarship on the topic. :bloodofox: (talk) 06:38, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

This article is in a much better place now but there is much more to add. I will continue to add material as time permits. :bloodofox: (talk) 07:25, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
