[edit] Awful Article
What is this article even doing on Wikipedia? It was clearing written by the guy himself and is mostly irrelevant. No-one cares about his life history, and it doesn't really describe what he has "achieved" except in vague ways. Has he achieved anything? 129.67.50.212 20:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- His only "achievement" is a theory deleted from Wikipedia for being a load of rubbish http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cognitive-Theoretic_Model_of_the_Universe Surely this article should be deleted too. We don't need a detailed biography of someone whos work doesn't even deserve an article. 88.109.98.50 21:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Purported BLP violations
User DGG has deleted a few sentences from this article on the grounds that they violate WP:BLP. I do not understand how this is the case, since the sentences simply describe something of the early life of the subject. Could this user please explain their reasoning for the deletion? In my opinion the sentences are relevant to the notability of the subject insofar as they go some way toward explaining the unusual life-path followed by the subject (please excuse the low-grade turn of phrase, "life-path"). The peculiar career of the subject is an essential part of his notability. Thanks. BCST2001 04:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] North American High Society IQ League
Why is the following unsourced sentence full of redlinks inserted?
Langan served as President of the North American High Society IQ League from April, 1998 until September, 2007. He was replaced as President by his good friend John W. Morgan, Mayor of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia, Canada.

[edit] Strange presentation
Isn't it strange to present a person as an "autodidact" with a certain IQ? I don't know this person but I wonder if he really famous just for being autodidact and having an high IQ...--Pokipsy76 (talk) 17:25, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
The answer to your question is that it is strange. And the reason they present it this way, is that this man is not famous at all. 131.111.220.6 (talk) 10:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sources and lack thereof
The references provided in the article list as sources Sager 1999, Fowler 2000, Wigmore 2000, Brabham 2001, and O'Connell 2001. While one or two of these supposed sources are verifiable via weblinks provided in the article, most are not. Since someone above alleges self-promotion here, I suggest verification of these sources and those that have lack valid weblinks be removed. 64.237.4.140 (talk) 22:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
