Talk:M. A. Mansoor

unbalanced Added the above tag to article as it seems to be a pro-Mansoor biography which uses emotionally charged words and statements to promote the subject of the article, while omitting significant biographical facts such as the subject's full name, full dates & places of birth & death, length of his career, details of his collection, etc.

The "Methods" paragraph attempts a validation of the subject's methods of dating artefacts; however the paragraph tells nothing of his methods at all, and simply states that objects that were beyond his skill to date were passed to unnamed "experts" and "connoisseurs": we are left in ignorance as to the identity and qualifications of these persons, and treated to the unreferenced information that until the late 1930s scientific dating was not very advanced.

The "Ethic" section needs citations for the various quotes, and contains "empty" statements such as  and These statements convey more emotion than information.

Have removed the category tag of "Egyptologists" (those dedicated to the **scientific study** of Ancient Egypt and its antiquities), as the subject of the article was a seller of antiquities, not a professional Egyptologist (the text of the article itself concedes that Masoor was not an "expert", and needed to consult others).

This article requires some clean-up & research. I might get around to this, but if anyone wants to beat me to it, feel free! Bezapt 10:35, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
