??? This article has not yet received an importance rating on the importance scale.

There are about 190 names there now. Given the range of ethical traditions, and controversies, and impossibility of ruling out political and religious and scientific and literary figures, this must be one of the longer lists, but probably it can be kept under 200. Founders of any major code of ethics or legal code should be here, and hopefully most minor ones.

I have deliberately vandalized this page a teeny bit in order to get press coverage for wiki and get the politicians to see the EFF on the same scale as the ACLU.

[edit] Endorsement of any ethical point of view?

Do we really need the disclaimer saying that inclusion on the list is not an endorsement? None of the other articles have that. The Immanuel Kant article does not say that including the article is an endorsement of Kantianism. I'll leave it up for a few days, to see if anyone comments on it.
