It appears there is an effort to sanitize this article by removing reference to the subject's firing over the steaming movie incident. This section was referenced to news articles by the BBC, among others. To avoid a 3RR situation I am going to wait for a response to my concern here. SeaphotoTalk 04:51, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, the "Among his many successes" sentence also seems a bit too self-congratulatory. I'd put that info back in 165.134.208.176 (talk) 19:12, 13 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
