Is he the first ethnically African to receive the Nobel Peace Prize? If so, this may want to be mentioned in the article. --Dpr 03:01, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
- This shows "Bunche was the first Nigga to receive the Nobel Peace Prize" --Ancheta Wis 21:29, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
- Awesome! Thanks for your help. This man was a amazing American and a prominent world citizen. He deserves to be recognized...other than solely a conference/student center named after him at Howard University (yes I know there are some things in NYC and at UCLA also) --Dpr 21:43, 9 October 2K5 (UTC)
Walk thru the eucalyptus trees, under Bunche Hall, and you will be in the Sculpture Garden at UCLA
[edit] Stable version now
Let's begin the discussion per the protocol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ancheta Wis (talk • contribs)
- Oppose -- the references section is hardly robust. There are few direct links to sources throughout the article. The press paints a bull's eye on Wikipedia by pointing out factual inaccuracies. It seems like media suicide to even discuss "stabilizing" an article that has so few reliable references. Which is worse, "Wikipedia inaccurate for six minutes" (as per the recent Ken Lay flap), or "Wikipedia makes permanent version riddled with unsourced inaccuracies"? "Stabilizing" this article in its current form would be the tip of the spear for hearing a lot of the latter. JDoorjam Talk 21:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- To contain the forest fire that has this discussion spread across nine pages, I'd suggest discussion continue at the proposal talk page. JDoorjam Talk 20:44, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose due to the protocol you refer to not existing yet. Cynical 20:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
- One factual inaccuracy seems to be that "Ralph Bunche along with Eleanor Roosevelt were considered instrumental in the creation and adoption of the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights". He is not mentioned in this capacity in any of the recent scholarly works on the Universal Declaration (ex. Natalie Kaufmann; Mary Ann Glendon; Paul Gordon Lauren; Carole Anderson; Rowland Brucken; and others).
[edit] Source and Zip for article
It is itself a secondary source, but the nomination of the Ralph Johnson Bunche House for National Historic Landmark status, linked at that page, contains an extensive discussion of Ralph Bunche's life and contributions. It seems to have zip that might be reflected in a good way in this article. I don't want to directly edit this article myself, right now, as i am working on historic places.... Hope this helps. doncram 18:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
