- Or better yet, reference it properly. To the layman, having a suitably referenced remark like "great invention", or better yet, something like "an indispensable part of the card magician's toolkit", conveys a lot more than just deleting remarks because they aren't "impartial". The layman needs "partial" remarks by experts to understand the context. --C S (talk) 22:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
