Middle Name?

Does anyone know Dr. Spanier's middle name? I am rather curious, as he is commonly referred to as "President Graham B. Spanier" in press releases, but no mention of his middle name. (And no Google results.)

Controversies

Dr. Spanier has been the subject of many recent controversial decisions that many students object to. Maybe a section about this should be included. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.71.40.45 (talk • contribs) 23 October 2006 07:10 (UTC).

Are there any that are particularly defining of his tenure? Or published criticisms in major publications? A way to quantify "many students"? Criticism sections must be handled with a higher degree of professionalism than most of Wikipedia's content out of fairness to the subject. But such a section, if substantiated, would undoubtedly improve the quality of the article. Thanks, GChriss <always listening><c> 05:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism Edits

Someone vandalized the Graham Spanier.jpg picture from the article. I couldn't figure out how to edit the picture or revert to the original version of the file (Hey Wikipedia...this should probably be documented somewhere easy to find), so I removed the vandalized picture from the article temporarily.

Unprotection?

Can this talk page be unprotected now so that unregistered users can make comments? We can quickly restore protection if necessary. --TS 19:01, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can try, but a vandal has been persistently hitting both the article and this talk page over the course of more than a year, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if he came back (I believe most edits were oversighted). I'd suggest you have it on your watchlist if you do. VegaDark (talk) 20:41, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
