Talk:Clinton Hart Merriam

message: I removed the unsourced sentence about Merriam teaching at Harvard. Searching the web yields a number of references to this, but biographical text seems to neglect mentioning it. The book "Anthropology at Harvard" by David Browman and Steven Williams seems to neglect mentioning Merriam as well, except for naming professors who instructed Merriam, such as at his summer biological field school at Woods Hole, as well as naming him in contexts of the expeditions he had been on. Given the lack of supporting evidence, I think it would be best to avoid potentially spreading a false rumor. However, I would be deeply curious if anyone does know if Merriam taught at Harvard, as well as when and what he taught!
-GhWada 5/7/2016
It seems Merriam, while head of the US Biological Survey, offered instruction to summer fields courses, such as the 1902 Summer School of the South. It is perhaps in this manner in which he is attributed to teaching for Harvard, in what is usually described as "briefly." I am still looking into the matter, slowly, but am considering removing the category of Harvard Faculty.

Talk:Constance Reid

message: I added her birth year based on her mentining in her linked AMS article that she was born 23 months earlier than her sister Julia Robinson, whose birthdate is given as December 8, 1919.

Template talk:Infobox school/Archive K-12 School

message: I looked at the list of Education infoboxes, and there are about half a dozen American school infoboxes that give largely identical information. I think it would be a good idea to merge all of these into Template: Infobox Education in the United States, because they're almost exactly the same and aren't specific to any one specific type of American school. I propose merging the following infobox templates into Template: Infobox Education in the United States:
*Template:Infobox HighSchool
*Template:Infobox HighSchool (American)
*Template:Infobox VirginiaHighSchool
*Template:Infobox K-12 School
*Template:Infobox US school
*Template:Infobox middle school
Also, does anyone have experience with merging templates? How will infoboxes appear when the template for them no longer exists under the same name? Will a redirect on the deleted pages be enough to fix it? Tserton 20:49, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Daniel Simberloff

message: This is a strange article. It sounds self-promoting, almost as if it was written by Simberloff himself, yet I cannot imagine anyone truly writing about themselves in this way. This article is so flawed that it might be better to start over and do a complete re-write. Why is there a list of his personal favorite projects? Did he really invent island biogeography, as the article claims? Is he really THE ecologist who championed the null model? This article completely inflates his involvement in numerous key developments in ecology, or at the very least, neglects to give credit where credit is due. I really hope Simberloff didn't write this himself because that would be downright embarrassing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.41.57 (talk) 15:54, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect that this article probably was written by an undergraduate fanboy. That said, the man has fanboys for a reason. Simberloff is definitely one (and you are correct: like all scientific developments, they are collaborative products of many minds working collectively on a problem) of the early theorists exploring and testing hypotheses of island biogeography. I'll try to dig up some of the papers for citation later; they are considered foundational classics within the field (totally the kind of experiment you couldn't perform today for ethical and environmental reasons - you can't just kill everything on a mangrove island or small key to see what recolonizes later). I'm surprised that they aren't mentioned in the list of "selected publications" which seems strangely biased towards his recent work. Aderksen (talk) 17:08, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello,
Today I expanded the article with headers and added sources to the article. My main source (and what I presume to have been the former author's sources) was http://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/leonard_george_6E.html. It's written by reputable organizations with reputable sources, for the most part. My only problem is with finding the sources in 
"PAC, MG 23, D1, ser.1, 21: 43–112. PANS, MG 1, 480, 9–11 Aug. 1792 (transcripts). PRO, CO 188/9, Leonard to John King, 10 Sept. 1798; 188/10, Leonard to Duke of Portland, 1 Nov. 1800; 188/16, “Reports of officers of governments on duties and emoluments,” 1810; PRO 30/55, no.5577.", 
which I couldn't verify existed. If you find that this information can't be verified, then the content about Leonard's positions in Saint John cannot be verified using this source either, and can be up for removal. Hijiri Suzuki (talk) 22:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
