Fans of Robert Burns (who was "chosen as the greatest Scot by the Scottish public" in 2009) or of certain Scots who have become Prime Ministers of the whole United Kingdom may wonder whether Mr Carmichael's article really "is of the utmost importance to this project, as it forms the basis of all information in a key area" while the articles on Mr Burns and those Prime Ministers and even the article about the First Minister of Scotland are in a category of lower importance. Never having set foot in Scotland, I am in no position to judge Mr Carmichael's current importance to Scotland, but, with only three individuals in the top class of 59, there is maybe room for reconsideration of the "key area" that justifies his article's inclusion.
