Most of the article, in its existing form, is fairly childish, mixing causes and results, important and trivial, etc. Is it worth rewriting, or should be simply dump this altogether to write it from scratch? Ori Redler 19:26, 25 November 2006 (CST)

Nominate for Approval

The comment above, made nearly two years ago, has not been followed up with any details or revisions, and thus deserves to be ignored. Meanwhile, there have been several hundred changes by others.
In my view, the "See Also..." comments near the bottom belong on the Related Articles page, so I've added them there (and left them on the Main Page also until the issue can be resolved.

Other than that, I think the article may be ready to be Approved, and so I am nominating it.

Because of the July 4 holiday in the U.S. and (more importantly) the fact that this nomination isn't showing up on the History: To Approve page, I've extended the nomination period a few more days.
