Our BLP rules are *really important*.

In fact they are important, but on reading it looks like we got it right. No comment in the entire article as to error orundue emphasis, the subject is reported as saying "[The Wikipedia entry] might not make for good reading, but that's all behind me now."
Looking at the article as of the beginning of the month, it was half Gower's rugby career, half his alcoholism.
I suspect that this is not, in fact, a reasonable weighting of the issues surrounding him. Unless he was a really, really exceptional alcoholic.

Phil,
There is not such thing as an "exceptional alcoholic" - a person either is, or they are not. It's like calling someone an "exceptional diabetic".
