  • Symbol confirmed.svg Article meets core policies and guidelines of the DYK criteria, long enough, neutral, cites sources with inline citations and appears to be free of copyright violations and plagiarism. Hook fact is accurate and cited with an inline citation in the article. Article should be ready for displaying on the main page, well done!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 19:20, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
  • This hook is fairly boring. Isn't there anything more suitable in the article?--Carabinieri (talk) 04:22, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
  • I don't know many professors who teach in two countries. We could spell out the names of the universities, but it would make the hook too long, I thought to name his main topic, which is relevant to everybody, was a good idea. Can we link Protecting Critical Infrastructure in the EU? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:32, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
  • For a professor to teach at different universities, possibly in different countries, isn't that unusual.--Carabinieri (talk) 18:14, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
  • I agree with both of Carabinieri's comments. Now that I've read the article, I'm also wondering whether the subject is notable enough to be suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Sure, he's a professor who teaches, but is that enough? The article does not say that he's done lots of important research, and most of the organisations with which he is associated are redlinked. He's also an editor of two publications that are not even redlinked. So what makes him notable? Assuming that he is notable, I would have thought that the hook should say that although his expertise relates specifically to the EU, he teaches only in two European countries that are not EU members.

  • EU or not EU is not the question, Protecting critical infrastructure is. I can't fill the red links. Being elected a member of the Swiss Academy makesyou notable, but is it interesting?
ALT1: ... that Bernhard M. Hämmerli (pictured), teaching computer science in Switzerland and Norway, has been chair of the platform ICT Security of the Swiss Academy of Engineering Science? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:33, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
It would be nice to have some confirmation that "being elected a member of the Swiss Academy makes you notable", apart from which, nobody knows what "ICT Security" is. Suggested alt:
ALT2: ... that Swiss computer science academic Bernhard M. Hämmerli (pictured) is a specialist in the field of information security? Gatoclass (talk) 08:47, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
ALT3: ... that Swiss computer science academic Bernhard M. Hämmerli (pictured) is a specialist in the field of critical infrastructure protection in the European Union? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:08, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Assuming it is supported by the article, alt3 would be preferable IMO, though I have decapitalized "critical". Gatoclass (talk) 09:28, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
