Although I'm not a fan of Strugnell, this article as it stands is a character assassination. It needs to be tempered with some more constructive material. He was after all a first class scholar in his field and was the first scrolls scholar to bring an Israeli epigrapher, Elisha Qimron, into the fold.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'character assassination'...these are all clearly established facts. The article mentions that Strugnell brought in other scholars. I have had a long hard look at the article and believe it to be reliable and honest. Jack1956 18:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
