...I started one, using the info on the page. Move it over if you want it, delete if you don't. (Just havin' a little fun, keeping my skills up a bit!) — Martha (talk) 01:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's kind, but I expect you to do what's best for the article, not defer to me. But I added it with some additional fields I know of. —EncMstr (talk) 06:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
