A fact from Eduard Imhof appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 June 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that famed Swiss cartographer Eduard Imhof lived in a Tibetan monastery while he recorded the height and location of the highest peak outside of the Himalayas, Minya Konka?

This seems like a nice stub -- but (and I know this sounds stupid) it needs more! Naturally, all stubs need more. But in this case, if I didn't know better, I'd assume this was a vanity page. If the subject weren't already long-dead, this would be suspect: "His fame, which extends far beyond the Institute...," a picture of his signature, and that's it? Even a stub should have a little bit more to justify why this subject merits inclusion. I guess all I'm saying is that I'd rather the work/effort that went into reproducing his autograph here have rather gone into generating a paragraph or two on why he's so notable. If we have time to find, scan, and include graphics, why don't we have time to write more than two sentences on a subject?

Note: This stub has been around since August 2005. 66.17.118.207 13:29, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
