[edit] Important BLP message

Please note that WP:BLP (one of the key policies of Wikipedia) states clearly that we should: "Be very firm about the use of high quality references. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space." While I don't think there is anything in this article that is contentious (and thus deletable)... the fact that it has no sources at all concerns me. Please locate some sources to support this article. Blueboar 14:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow... that was quick. Thank you for locating sources. MUCH better now.
FYI, it is considered poor form to blank the talk page of an article, except for cases of clear vandalism or personal attacks... even when the issue has been resolved (as it is here), it is important to keep a record of what those issues were. The rules for user pages are different... those you can delete with impunity. Thanks, and good luck with the article. Blueboar 17:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal Life

"Professor Holman has shown many tendencies towards being a bit of a Trekkie" not only seems to violate precise encyclopedic grammar, but it is also an understatement. It will be fixed. 69.29.74.91 (talk) 19:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
