Article bias[edit]

Article reads like it was written by Copeland himself or a family member - "man among boys," "completely dominate," seldom if ever lost in track (making it sound as though he NEVER lost), etc., etc. Surely there are people out there who aren't total homers but have solid information on him and can clean up the article in an encyclopedic style ... ?76.79.24.174 (talk) 09:23, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your assessment, and I've cleaned the article up a bit. Hope it's satisfactory now. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 09:30, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
