Talk:Walt Stack

message: With POV like "Walt was a lovable and industrious man --and the life of the party-- whose magnetic personality and brilliant blue eyes belied his briny wit and a licentious spirit", this entry needs a serious overhaul. Bricology (talk) 06:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The tone of this entry is anything but encyclopedic 

message: I'm going to remove some statements that appear to have been copied directly from this 1998 article by Cory Johnson: http://outside.away.com/outside/magazine/0898/9808hardway.html  This is provided for those who might wish to integrate it into the Wiki article properly.
:Before becoming the world's most famous senior-citizen distance runner, Walt Stack (who died in 1995 at age 87) first got into shape the old fashioned way: He worked as a hod carrier, ferrying supplies to bricklayers, stonemasons, and the like on his broad shoulders. But in 1965, at 57, he decided that eight daily hours of hard labor just wasn't enough. So he ran the first of what would eventually become 62,000 lifetime miles, crafting a highly visible training routine that made him a San Francisco institution — though many a Bay Area commuter was heard to mutter that he instead should've been committed to one.
:"I'm going to do this till I get planted," he'd say, and indeed he nearly did. Every day for 27 years, until sidelined by failing health in 1993, Stack would set out on his bike and ride the six hilly miles from his Potrero Hill home to Fisherman's Wharf. There he'd strip off his shirt — to display the tattoos of peacocks, wild horses, and bathing beauties muraled across his broad, rawhide chest — and run over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and back, 17 miles. Next, Stack would jump into the Bay for a one-mile swim in choppy water he called "colder than a landlord's heart."
:Perhaps even more impressive than his daily routine, however — and a timeless reality check for those who may feel compelled to boast of their fitness exploits — was the perspective with which he viewed it. "All this work I'm doing," Stack once said in the midst of a bridge crossing, "it don't mean shit."

Talk:William Marshall (actor)

message: The first paragraph of the Early Life & Career section of this biography says he graduated from Governors State University, founded in 1969 - so he could not have graduated until at least 1973.  Then, he supposedly became an art student at NYU before training for a career as an actor.  Thus, unless he was using Doctor Who's TARDIS travel back and forth in time, he apparently did not finish his training as an actor until sometime in the late 1970's.
But we then read in the next paragraph that he made his theatrical debut in Carmen Jones in 1944.
It doesn't make sense that he would spent 30 years as a professional actor and singer, and then go to school to learn how to do it.  I suspect that whoever wrote the first paragraph has gotten the William Marshall who is the subject of this article confused with someone else named William Marshall.

Talk:Royal University of Ireland

message: Unless I'm missing it, nowhere in this piece does it say where the university was sited. Can someone add this essential piece of information?

thread_title: Where???

message: Does anyone have a source to confirm that the Royal University eventually started issuing theology degrees? Did that need another Act of Parliament?  I believe that Magee College issued Royal University of Ireland degrees to presbyterian ordinands, and I would like to write that in the article if there is a good source. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 04:32, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My understanding is that the Royal University was prohibited from awarding theology degrees. It was only since 1997 that the National University of Ireland could award theology degrees, the successor. Maybe the Presbyterian Theological Faculty Ireland was the body that awarded those degrees? Djegan 06:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems a reasonable hypothesis.  It is possible that ordinands took exams sufficient for a non-religious Bachelor of Arts degree from the Royal University, and supplemented that with an additional award from the PTFI.  If no-one remembers or published if that is indeed how this worked, then, no doubt, there will be something buried in an archive in Dublin, Belfast or Magee that explains it.  If someone finds the answer it would be nice to see them write it into the Magee College article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Theology?

message: There's a contradiction within the article as to when the first female graduate(s) were awarded their degrees.  The second paragraph states that the Royal University "granted its first degree to a woman on October 22, 1882".  However, in the section "Graduates of the Royal University of Ireland" it is stated that "[a] high number of graduates of the university for the time were women (the first 9 in 1884)".

Talk:Storm Large/Archive 1

message: There are two competing fan sites having an edit war. Since my request for protection was denied I'm kindly asking the anons who are edit warring to please stop. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan site. I'm going to post the links here for those who are interested. The sites in question are: this one and this one this one. I don't know which one is "better", I'm just tired of the edit war. 
This is what I posted to one of the anons:
Please read What Wikipedia is not, especially Wikipedia is not a soap box and links normally to be avoided (to see if any of it applies to you). I don't know what's going on with the edit war between the two fan sites, and I don't care which one is "better", but the additions you add to the title ("all the all the pics", etc.) border on POV and also advertising. I had put the two sites in alphabetical order ("fan" vs. "fans"). It is no reflection on which site "should" come first. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan site.
Thanks. Katr67 21:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there (can you please sign your posts with 4 tildes (~~~~)? thanks). Hmm. Until recently, guideline one under "links normally to be avoided" said "Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article here would have once it becomes an example of brilliant prose." (seems they're having a bit of an edit war too.) The way I interpreted this is to leave up links that have info not in the article, with the idea that eventually the info could be added to the article and the links used as references. It seems others may disagree. I'm going to delete the Gate one--it seems pretty content-free. The Oregonian one seems more useful (perhaps I'm biased since it is a local article), but by all means delete it if you think it's inappropriate. Better yet, incorporate any info from the Oregonian and use it as a citation within the Wikipedia article. Happy editing! Katr67 22:26, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Trivia

message: I am uncertain as to whether "Saitama" is the appropriate term for this page. This is for the reason that I believe "Saitama" is more commonly used to refer to the prefecture rather than the city. For the same reason that "New York" takes you to the state rather than the city, I believe that "Saitama" should redirect to "Saitama Prefecture" rather than this page, to which I personally think that "Saitama, Saitama" is the more appropriate name. Thank you, JTST4RS (talk) 17:08, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The city is more well-known than the prefecture. The prefecture is named after the city, so the order of precedent is quite clear. Gryffindor (talk) 14:51, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

I removed the above "Controversy" because it seemed entirely inappropriate, had no specific reference to a supposed news event, the reportage should have been cited, was a very subjective addition and seems ludicrous (pardon my strong opinion about this) to have been added to Wikipedia.

Talk:Nara (city)

message: As another data point possibly in support of the Koreanic theory, I note that Empress Genmei who ordered the move to Nara in 708 was the daughter of Emperor Tenji, in turn the son of Empress Kōgyoku.  According to Alexander Vovin, one of the Man'yōshū poems, specifically poem # 9 by Lady Nukata, starts out in Old Korean and was composed in 658 with Empress Kōgyoku as the intended audience.  With Empress Genmei as Empress Kōgyoku's granddaughter, it is not unreasonable to explore the possibility that Empress Genmei may also have had knowledge of Old Korean, more specifically the variety used by the Baekje.

Talk:List of lo-fi musicians

message: I think it's a pretty big stretch to call many of these bands lo-fi. I mean, Sufjan? Franz Ferdinand? Are there any specific criteria for inclusion in this list, or is it just "I think this is lo-fi, so I'm going to add it"? I tend to think this list isn't particularly useful in its current form, especially because many bands will release lo-fi albums early in their careers due to lack of money, rather than as a deliberate aesthetic. I'd argue that in those cases, it's not really fair to call the band lo-fi. If a list like this really has to exist (please convince me), I think it should be List of lo-fi albums.
