[edit] Nobel Peace Prize

Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw 07:49, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

I understand your point - I knew about the nominations because I'm Quaker myself, and heard about the nomination from the AFSC, who brought it forward after the usual amount of Quakerly discussion. --Dan 18:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
