[edit] Biased article

This article appears to be highly biased in favour of the individual about whom it is written. A more balanced view is needed. It should be tagged and identified as a biased article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.112.109.253 (talk • contribs)

I have incorporated information from only the sources cited in the references section, and none seem too critical of Preger. If you can find any sources that are more critical of his work, by all means add information from them into the article, but remember to also mention what these sources are.

[edit] Nobel Peace Prize nomination

• He has also twice been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. [1]

Being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official or even prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements, and more often it is impossible to verify. I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Will Beback · † · 09:53, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
