To give credit where credit is due, I'm getting information for the stub entries from
http://cnet.unb.ca/achn/pme/index.html . After an article has been fleshed out, the data contained in them has been collected from a large pool of sources (some of which correct data found in at the
University of New Brunswick website, even). I just thought it would be appropiate to indicate the source for the stub articles. --
