[edit] Comment

Hi, Gang of One,
When I came to the AF bio, it read in its entirety:

Anatole France (April 16, 1844 – October 12, 1924) was the pen name of French author Jacques Anatole François Thibault. He was born in Paris, France, and died in Tours, Indre-et-Loire, France. In addition to being an atheist, Anatole was also documented to have a brain volume just two-thirds the normal size. In the 1920s France's writings were put on the Index of Forbidden Books of the Roman Catholic Church.

The argument you make is the same as the argument of the religious fanatics. Personally, I am tired of this Wikipedia uphill battle. Anything you write gets sooner or later perverted. If you wish, revert this bio to the form as it was before, it will save us both time we could use for more meaningful things than to argue on Jimbo's plantation.

Best Wishes,
