[edit] Writing Style
The writing in the article shows a poor grasp of the English language and needs to be improved. The Early Life secion is choppy at best, and could use a bit of refining. As for the content, I am sure we can find a bit more to write about such a well-known figure.Mrathel (talk) 13:31, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Copyvio?
Much of this page looks like its ripped from: http://www.nti.org/b_aboutnti/b1b.html. ElBenevolente 03:01, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I wanted to say the same thing as ElB. It strikes me as a possible weakness of Wikipedia - an ideologue may fill most of a stub (or: a average person may fill most of a stub with CTRL+V from an ideologue's web site), and subsequent editors - if there are any other editors at all - proceed to make only minor changes. 212.183.107.22 04:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nobel Peace Prize nomination
- Although the committee which awards the Nobel Peace Prize does not reveal official nominees, both Nunn and Lugar have been mentioned several times as candidates for the award in the media circle.
Being nominated for the 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 · † · 08:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
