Tone edit
The latter part of this article needs to be wikified. As it is, it reads like an essay. 86.45.58.176 (talk) 15:56, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- I completely agree. Some of the sentences have no place in an encyclopedia. The following is one such example: "What Corbett had over his fellow pugilists, past and present, was an above average competence as an actor. While no threat to the Barrymore family, Corbett was far superior to the other athletes from all sports who tried to make a dollar on the stage." The tone of those two sentences is simply inappropriate for an encyclopedia. There are other examples as well.74.134.160.246 (talk) 03:00, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
