I am very impressed by your page.

[edit] Walter Chatton

I see that you recreated an article on this philosopher immediately after it was [deleted]. I'm guessing that you felt justified in doing so because you added some text, expanding what was deleted. Having read the stub, two comments:

• I find the comparison of Chatton's argument and the quote by Holmes to be problematical, partly because I don't follow the logic of the comparison, but mostly because this appears to be a clear violation of WP:NOR - I doubt very much that any citeable source has made this comparison, and so it's clearly original research/original writing.

• I think you could add some information from the Stanford Encyclopedia without violating copyrights - certainly factual info such as date of birth and death, being advisor to two popes, that critical editions of his work have only recently become available, etc. If you're willing to remove the Sherlock Holmes quote (or able to provide attribution for the comparison), I'd be happy to help on adding info.

[edit] Politicians with Doctorates- Request for Move

As I've indicated through the article's talk page, "Politicians with Doctorates" appears to focus solely on American politicians, making the generalized label politicians confusing for those who are searching for any of a number of well-known politicians with doctorates from other countries besides the United States. Furthermore, all of the tables and fields in the article are applicable only to American politicians. As such, I am proposing that this article be moved and renamed "American Politicians with Doctorates." This is not only because of the above stated conflicts, but also due to the unlikelihood of any current regular contributers taking the name to reformat and update the article to include a broader range of international politicians.
