Fay Presto's management company has dramatically increased the size of this article, adding a lot of non-neutral content in the process. (However, there may be enough good in there to warrant a major re-edit rather than just reversion.) I've added a NPOV tag and may attempt a cleanup this afternoon, but perhaps it would be better for one of the regular editors of this article to clean it up because I trust they know what is pertinent and what is not.

Deadferrets: I agree strongly with this, she sounds like a saint, nothing is mentioned either about her sex change, should it be.

[edit] sex change

I think her sex change should be mentioned because it is a fact and as an encyclopedia that facts is what what we deal with Back ache 11:44, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

You are all absolutely correct in stating that the purpose of any encyclopaedia is to deal in facts. However, it strikes me as a sad indication of the world that when the facts surrounding a truly good and philanthropic person are discussed you assume that it must be the spread of propaganda. Regardless of the persons writing the article, Fay Presto’s constant work for charity and her many achievements in the arts are matters of documented fact and should be dealt with in this setting to whatever length the author sees fit to dedicate.

If you feel areas of a persons life have not been discussed in sufficient depth then the purpose of Wikipedia is to allow you to redress the balance, not simply deleted factual material.
