Re notability tag
I'm not sure what the problem is here. The ref from Vytautas Magnus University already states he's been rector of Klaipeda University since 2002 ("Nuo 2002 m. spalio 11 d. esu Klaipėdos universiteto rektorius"). Why is that not enough to establish notability? Novickas (talk) 18:15, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:ACADEMIC sets out the notability criteria for academics. In plain English, notability means that lots of other people are talking (and writing) about the individual and/or the individual has been recognised for outstanding achievements in his/her field.  In Wikipedia, it is not good enough that the criteria are met, but sources demonstrating this must be included in the article.  Having said that, one of the criteria is that "the person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research.".  Being the rector of Klaipeda university probably meets this requirement.  It would be good, however, to find additional sources (and include inline citations) to strengthen the notability claims of the individual.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 20:42, 1 March 2010 (UTC)


 * As stated in this site discussing the governance of public universities in Lithuania, (publisher=Vilnius University), The top officer of the University is the rector... Rectors in all Lithuanian universities are elected by the Senate. Žulkus meets WP:PROF No. 6: "The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at an academic institution or major academic society." The official uni website is a reliable source for his rectorship. As is UNESCO. Novickas (talk) 14:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
