integrated mills (I can speak for the U.S., at least) during the last two decades. It reads more like a current event as it is currently written, and may or may not be accurate in the future.

I would agree with your comments
Andrewa. This article could use some expansion, more specifics, clarification, and general cleanup. I hope to contribute to this effort. I think we definately need to list some verifiable references.
