[edit] James Compton-Burnett
You created the article James Compton-Burnett. It does not follow the general wikipedia style for piographies, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies). It also looks very much like an exact copy for some reference work, adn it does not cite any sources. Can you indicate what your source was, and particualrly whether this article is an exact or close copy of an existing source that should be properly credited? DES 15:54, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
