Conflict of interest
From your article, I suspect that you either are Dr Schaeffer himself, or someone closely acquainted with him. In either case, you should familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline. Writing about yourself or those close to you can be difficult, because it is hard to maintain the necessary neutrality. This is especially true when writing about yourself, which is why Wikipedia strongly discourages this. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:38, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Category removal
Why did you remove the category Category:Living people from the article about Lawrence Schaeffer. Is Dr. Schaeffer no longer living? If he is still living, that category places the article under special restrictions to which all biographies of living persons must adhere. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:49, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
