Thank you!

It's a merge that was never cleaned up. Feel free to have at it, and thanks!
We are showing the Richardson information but in the main body we seem to be saying that we disagree with it? I think if we really have a strong point to make it should be spelled out, and if we don't then we should simply use the better source?
