Pruning[edit]

I've been through the article and pulled out anything I could find which didn't have a readily available source. There were many uncited quotations and references, but I've been unable to find any of these repeated in the archives of those publications which purportedly produced them. I've also taken out the stuff about Ms O'Connell's personal life; no sources (except for primaries from her own websites, and wikimirrors of course) appear to support it.
