Talk:Tim Cresswell

message: Is Cresswell a professor in the English sense i.e. does he hold a chair? SlimVirgin (talk) 23:31, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
:He is indeed a professor 'in the English sense'. He was only a lecturer at Lampeter, became senior lecturer at Aberystwyth, then awarded a chair, all in a relatively short space of time. Twrist 10:40, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: 'The peninsular of submerged hope: Ben Reitman's social geography' should really be 'The peninsula of submerged hope...' but I haven't corrected it as it appears that the error appears in the name of the paper. Dave.Dunford 10:05, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: The peninsular (''sic'') of submerged hope

message: Wikipedia, it appears, has been colonized by academics who seem determined to achieve celebrity status. What is the reason for yet another entry on yet another obscure geographer? Who is doing all this? His cv is no doubt of interest to him and (perhaps) those who employ him, but apart from them, who cares? Is this another entry by el zalamero? If it is, then the latter should be awarded an additional BAPPP, to supplement the one he has already earned (see the discussion about David Harvey). Kip the Jiggler, 17/10/7.
::Not obscure. He is a prominent geographer, people may want to look him up. Over and out. Zigzig20s 13:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Let me quote Signing your posts on talk pages and other Wikipedia discourse (but not on articles) is not only good etiquette; it also facilitates discussion by helping other users to identify the author of a particular comment, to navigate talk pages, and to address specific comments to the relevant user(s), among other things. Discussion is an important part of collaborative editing as it helps other users to understand the progress and evolution of a work.
Perhaps that way "we" so called "geographers" may help you...(!)
Apart from that, I understand, my mother tongue, English, perfectly, thank you very much... --Francisco Valverde 18:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

text: As you please...You don't know me and it seems you won't either... Keep on fighting your own personal war. What a shame...! I won't bother anymore. Bye... "geographer figher"... --Francisco Valverde 12:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Why yet another entry on an obscure academic?

message: We should try not to depend on just a source, and specially, not just a homepage, it is a very biased source to include. Include a few more, please. In the contrary it is easy to be the victim of accusations of being obscure. Anyway, this article has more credit than many others I have read in wikipedia. --Francisco Valverde 14:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Imo this article should be split into a brief biography, and then focus on his ideas. Surely people care about this prominent geographer because he has put forward some interesting ideas about geography. Zigzig20s 15:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  More sources needed, not just a homepage
