Yes, they're copious and largely good.

A quibble I have is that you find things like Viv Richards introduced as 
'West Indian cricketer'.  Well, he is; but he is Antiguan by nationality. 
He played for the West Indies team; and I suppose if you go back to the time 
of the British West Indies then there is some further discussion to be had.

But I think it would be an improvement if the leads went the extra 22 yards 
and made it 'Guyanese' and so on.  I feel slightly embarrassed about how it 
is now.
