No mention of the Coad/Yourdon OOA/D method?? Also, birth date etc. is missing. No wikilinks. Lupo 10:23, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Definitely In Need of Wikification

This article is obviously lifted straight from Peter Coad's web site (http://www.pcoad.com) and so does not meet even basic NPOV standards. It needs to be Wikified to be more comprehensive (as well as neutral).

25May06: Confirmed many sentences word-for-word match Coad's website; also confirmed his name as co-author on the 6 books (<Amazon.com). I have changed the wording somewhat, stating "co-author"; also, I confirmed the authorship of 6 books from 1990-1999 and Borland's purchase of TogetherSoft on 15-January-2003 ($185 million). Rather than delete the article, I advocate removing unsupported phrases within (such as "built hundreds of models"). Building 200 models could be 1 per week for 4 solid years, 300 models for 6 years? -Wikid77 06:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

10Oct06: I cleaned up some duplication, corrected a detail (Object International was founded in 1986, not in the 90's), restructured a bit, and added some information. I removed the "Trivia" section as it seemed inappropriate under Wikipedia's biography rules. And no, still no birthdate. Doug Pardee 23:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
