I've just seen this thread; I've put a reply to this on the talk
page,
but to spare people from switching windows; I tried looking around the
Italian wikipedia, then gave up because I don't speak Italian. I was
going to go back to it, but work intruded, and I figured everything was
alright once I saw the Italian link on the page.
I know the field concerned. I was trained in that
field, and I worked in that field. Hence, I can say
the article is worth (the translation is awful :-))
Now, the good news : the article *landed well* on the
italian wiki. It is now separated in three articles.
I hope they will be phase III soon.
There have been some attempts to clean up the translation, and the
article looks to have promise as an English language article when done.
I intended to do some more basic cleaning up of the text, but work
intruded; I should be able to get back to it later today. I'll drop you
a note when I've done what I can, maybe you can give it the finishing
touches?
Take care,
Jimmy
