This got speedied; I restored it. As the article sez: Farrell is notable for... so at the very least it *does* assert his importance. William M. Connolley 20:35, 18 January 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Noted faculty member?
What is the criteria one is using to determine that he is a "noted" faculty member? Teller . . . Gamow . . . Farrell? Sorry, this does not compute. I have nothing personal against the individual -- it's just that he might be embarrassed to be placed on such a list.
To be a noted political scientist, I'd expect expect *at least* a book. Probably more. Awards -- prestigious fellowships -- and so on. Right now, there are more noted political scientists currently at George Washington University who are not on the list. Give the guy a break -- take him off the list of noted GWU faculty members. --Mchale 01:52, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- I think he is well known rather than noted, if that makes sense, because he writes for the Crooked Timber blog. There are a lot of news articles about him and the blog. Awiseman 16:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Let me put this in terms that we all should be able to understand. There should be some rough criteria so that we can put some people on a list while excluding others. Criteria have to be flexible, of course, as not all disciplines evaluate prestige in the same way, and criteria are changing.
That being said, are there individuals in the Elliott School not listed on this page who are notable in their fields? Well, yes. If we used the criteria apparently used here, I'd assume that MOST of the faculty members at ESIA would end up on this list of prominent faculty members. That would defeat the purpose of the list, would it not? (Irrational Man) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.118.21.3 (talk) 05:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
