[edit] Nobel Peace Prize
- He was nominated twice for the 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)
