A fact from Michael McFaul appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 June 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that US Ambassador to Russia nominee Michael McFaul was denounced by a member of the Russian Parliament days before someone shot a bullet through his Stanford University office window?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/June.

SAT?

Michael McFaul is a renowned scholar on Russia and democracy, the inclusion of what he got in the SAT when he was 16 is rather trite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.20.105 (talk) 04:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio

Just for the record, I have deleted the bulk of the text from this article, as it was an almost word for word copy/paste from http://seaf.stanford.edu/people/michaelamcfaul/. Joshdboz (talk) 06:48, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Radical

I'm not sure "radical" is an appropriate term for McFaul. It implies that he is somehow outside of the mainstream. In fact two days ago (19 Feb 2009) he was appointed director of the White House National Security Council: http://fsi.stanford.edu/news/stanfords_michael_mcfaul_named_special_assistant_to_the_president_for_national_security_affairs_and_senior_director_at_the_national_security_council_20090219/

Without anymore context, his quote also seems misleading. It is an old passage from 2002, and his viewpoints have seemed to evolve over the years. I am deleting his quote, adding in the factual information about his appointment and I will leave it up to others to explain his positions. Kramer (talk) 15:05, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confrontation with NTV

If someone can add this to the article or find better sources. McFaul is allegedly being harassed by news reporters.
