Puzzling article start edit

I did a spot of cleaning up, since the initial version seemed to both be advertising and to directly contradict the sources available. I still think it tends to read a bit positive, although I am open to removing the advert tag if others think such problems have been addressed (I tend to think most stub articles sound like adverts, just because there is often so little said it is all positive). Thoughts? --TeaDrinker (talk) 23:41, 7 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I've expanded the article and copy edited to maintain a neutral POV. Northamerica1000^(talk) 02:20, 8 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
