Can someone explain to me why this is in the developed section?  As far as I can tell, it is a reproduction of the Wikipedia article with only the second sentence changed and the bibliography removed.[[User:Barry R. Smith|Barry R. Smith]] 11:38, 30 March 2008 (CDT)

I don't know how it got developed status.  Originally I wanted to rewrite the whole thing, but never got around to it. Indeed, the structure of the wiki article is horrible... meanwhile you can figure out how to de-developed it, since I don't know how, and I'll chip away at it as I think more about a better structure for the article.
