== inadequacy of article ==

The article as it stands says that the subject wrote anonymously, based on being in the "public life". What exactly does that mean? There is nothing in the article to indicate it. Was he successful in the public life, or not, and to what degree? Did he have any particular achievements in public life? We have no indications of any? Did he get paid for the publications or not? If not, how did he acquire money, or even did he? All these are reasonable questions, and the fact that there is no answer to any of them in the article as it stands makes this, I believe, a far from "complete" article. Also, as I have demonstrated, I have found to my own displeasure that the DNB can be in at least some cases neither complete nor neutral. Therefore, I have very serious questions how anyone else can claim, on the basis of using that same source, that an article, which doesn't even include all the information to be found in that source, is somehow of B-class grade. I have asked these questions before, and received no direct answers. I am therefore asking them again, hoping that in this case the responses deal with the content, rather than further I believe unwarranted aspersions on my character. ] (]) 20:15, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
