 == Housecleaning == 

 I've started cleaning up this article, which is in bad shape. References were/are bare URLs, the Reference section is full of ""links"" to stuff, and the External links section is just full. I'm cleaning. 

 ===External links=== 
 Here's the EL section:

 I'm going to leave a couple of relevant ones. The rest of 'em can be brought into the article as in-line referencesbut this linkfarm needed pruning. As for the last four, YouTube videos of a radio interview, the sound quality is terrible. Anyone interested in Watley can use Google to find that. Encyclopedic articles do not have to include ALL possible information.   "
