[edit] Nobel Peace Prize
- He was nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize,
Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily 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. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw 07:49, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

- I understand your point - I knew about the nominations because I'm Quaker myself, and heard about the nomination from the AFSC, who brought it forward after the usual amount of Quakerly discussion. --Dan 18:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Extensive Bio
My stars, editor Wadans, what a contribution! Could you sign up as a wikipedia editor, create a user page and discussion page so those of us who also do a little work on this topic can communicate with you more easily? I would like to see the bio split up with headings a bit more, and if you could add in the sources for your quotes that would be great. I expect the hangul romanization police will be by shortly, and my suggestion is to not resist ;-) Very nice work, though - soogo manee, manee hessumnida. A friend of mine, a Korean Quaker, who was friends with Teacher Hahm, informs me that another former friend, Quaker Floyd Schmoe, was instrumental in founding the Seoul Friends Meeting with Teacher Hahm. --Dan (talk) 17:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
