[edit] A difficult, but important, article to improve on

I learnt a lot from this article, it struck me as well-written and well-informed, and so was a little surprised to discover that it only had a 'starter' rating. I thought that maybe I could imporove on it myself, but when I looked into it, Bolzano is a VERY difficult and obscure philosopher. This article has all that one could want from an introduction to further study - some intellectual background, a biography, an (impressive)outline of his work, a good bibliography - but given that not only Bolzano's works themselves, but also most(what little there is of it) of contemporary Bolzano scholarship is very esoteric, it makes this a very difficult article to improve upon. I am a graduate philosophy student specialising in logic and meatphyisics and thought that if this article was that bad, there must be SOMETHING I could do to imporove it. Sadly, not.

Wiki either your standards are too high or the wiki philosophers need some help on this one!
