Content under research interests heading mainly refers to his group and not to him. --M_stone 00:54, 12 August 2006

He has no wife and no children and is a bo.... chemist with s... loads of awards and a near miss on the noble prize. I hope we can make a little bit more out of him than that. There must be funny stories about his lectures or a privat life or some interests more private than supramolecular chemistry. - For my tast the near miss on the noble price does not need a whole section and the award list looks a little bit to much. There are awareds mentioned which fit to a 200page biography not to a 2 page article. The citation index is numbers which give only information to the people already know the stupid business to have citations as only measurment that you are good.--Stone 18:06, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

He actually has 2 children (daughters) both of who were Chemists to PhD level: Alison and Fiona. He was married, but his wife died in 2004. He has been known to do lectures in a kilt. http://stoddart.chem.ucla.edu/Peter%20Rock%20Oration.pdf#search=%22alison%20stoddart%20fraser%22 --- Simon

All good points. I am always reluctant to delete content, but I am not really sure what purpose it serves here. I think the ISI, Impact Factor, and Awards might be condensed into an actual readable paragraph. I think that the research keywords is also excessive. M stone 19:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

It appears that much of the content here is copied directly from his website. If the list of awards is listed there than I think it can just be linked to. M stone 19:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

From one stone to another, If we find a little more about him it gets better balanced. Thanks! --Stone 21:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
