Neutrality[edit]

This article currently resembles a press release type of biography - it's too praising and contains too much unimportant detail. Dancarney 12:44, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's because it, it's a verbatim copy from his official website. See below. Voceditenore (talk) 14:32, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
