Hi,

thank you for your article. However, I've unpublished it, because it needs to be improved:


 * 1) First off, don't sign articles with your name. Articles are created by everyone here, that's the way a wiki works... Btw we can all see who wrote it from the pages history.
 * 2) Please read: Writing an article. More specifically, the article is built up around a point of view, and this violates Neutral point of view; please trim the article so it sticks to the facts.

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me on my talk page, or anyone else around here (as explained in the welcome message above).
