Gordon reduced the article length by cutting out 10 years of legal history from 1993 until 2003. This section covers the major disputes between Michael and the Schindlers. It also is the section where the courts ceclare facts and various court appointed guardian ad litems report findings about Terri Schiavo. All of that information has been moved to a subarticle by Gordon. He didn't shorten the article, he cut it into two different articles. There is no way you can reasonably represent Terri Schiavo's case by pushing 10 years of legal battles into a subpage. This was done simply in an attempt to satisfy the people who objected to FA status on the grounds that the article was "too long". Well, it may be too long, but converting it into two articles doesn't make it any shorter. The current version of Terri Schiavo is now an article that covers her early life, her collapse, her initial treatment. Then jumps 10 years ahead to some government meddling and an autopsy. THere is no way this makes the article "better" in any sense of the word. It only makes the article look "shorter" to those who don't actually read the article from start to finish and stumble across the 10 pothole in the road. FuelWagon 22:15, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
