[edit] Content

[edit] Caveat

A couple of these articles are about notable deceased relatives. Since editing these articles is skirting the edges of "vanity", I should note first that these articles were created by others. My efforts are focused on correcting factual errors (dates of death, etc.), filling in significant gaps and demythologizing the subjects.
