Vandal at 132.206.66.193[edit]

Please stop vandalizing the page to suit your own egomanical needs. Your own undeniable bias and anti-Zionist rantings are clear evidence that you're certainly not qualified to serve as a moral authority on the subject.--Michaelk 22:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This entry is clearly autobiographical[edit]

It reads like a publisher's blurb on a book cover or website. This guy may indeed be a good historian, but he shouldn't be the one to say so in Wikipedia, should he? This is not an encyclopedia article; it's blatant self-marketing and should be deleted. Wlegro (talk) 16:41, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's a cut and paste from his website (http://giltroy.com/biography.htm). Delete it. Lsimonis (talk) 20:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are his ideas?[edit]

This entry really sucks. I came here trying to find out what his ideas were. This entry is just a list of his job titles and encomiums. The only thing in here that was helpful was the link to his debate with Norman Finkelstein at Democracy Now.

Why is he a Zionist? Isn't there anybody working on this entry who understands Troy's ideas well enough to answer that question? --Nbauman (talk) 22:29, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a good article to add as a reference?[edit]

" In his discussion of this program, McGill University's Professor Gil Troy said, "People are more successful when they know who they are and have a strong identity."
