[edit] Grammatical errors

This article is full of grammatical errors, including sentences without verbs and missing articles. It badly needs copy-editing.Bill 06:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Educational Credentials

The claim that Harvard does not agree with Smith's claims about his educational credentials is quite serious. On the one hand, it should be more specific. What exactly is disputed? And on the other hand, better documentation is needed. Where did the Registrar say this? Bill 04:47, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vanity language

Much of the language used here rings of vanity "prominent" "prolific" etc. His fahter was a banker in a small rural city of 28,000 people, if that qualifies as a prominent banker then we have hundreds of thousands ot them. If the subject did not write this, perhaps his brother or a friend did. If he is unaware of this he should note that the article formerly listed him as author of a book that his name does not appear on the cover of but contributed to along with organizational staff. To have authored a single in print book under his name does not merit the description "a prolific education writer." really. CApitol3 02:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
