Should the article tell more about his descendants, at least mention Paul Koht who clearly is named after him? And maybe the women's rights activists among them, since that's sort of linked to his own political reform campaigns?
"In 1871 he married his slightly younger contemporary" -- isn't everyone married to their contemporary?
Well, unless one is Anna Nicole Smith I'd think that you're right about your second assertion... Re your first query: I'm not quite satisfied with the current disposition of the article, as it is thematically and not chronologically arranged (the latter is IIRC favoured for biographical articles). I assume that you are able to access the sources used in the article, and would be greatly in your debt if you could create a more logical arrangement of the facts in the article, possibly with more about his offspring.
