Talk:National Council of Teachers of English

message: This page deserves a good amount of objective editing. The "history" page is a little biased towards the NCTE, and the "Criticism" section is nothing but a paraphrasing of an article written in 1996. KBurchfiel (talk) 03:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The article Doublespeak features a developed section on the NCTE Committee on Public Doublespeak, and since said committee had no mention in this article I felt compelled to copy it here too, under the section on NCTE's history (since it is no longer a standing committee). It does seem out of place though, so prehaps we can find information on the other defunct committees of the NCTE and either add their summaries here or make a list and create separate articles for them.

Talk:Seattle Mariners all-time roster

message: I have re-set so that the list is using the three column format.  This format was used for over a year until one editor decided to change it.  The column format is much easier to read, requires far less scrolling, and can be printed out on fewer pages.  While it may be a little harder to edit within the column format, the article does not have that many additions once each Baseball season starts.  It seems to me that how the page displays for the reader should outweigh how it looks in the edit window. BurienBomber (talk) 22:14, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Jim Cassidy (footballer)

message: In 1887 a James Cassidy was “signed” by Everton and appeared in the ill-fated FA cup matches against Bolton Wanderers in October and November 1887. After 4 matches, Everton defeated Bolton, going on to lose to Preston North End in the second round. Bolton lodged an appeal on the grounds that Everton had fielded two professional players. Everton were found guilty of providing financial inducements to seven players (including Cassidy) and the tie was awarded to Bolton.
It is not clear whether or not this is the same Jim Cassidy who is the subject of the article - if so, Cassidy would have been only 17 at the time. Daemonic Kangaroo 18:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  WHY 

message: The last paragraph is especially bad in this regard, and hardly anything is properly referenced. Really, this bit in particular needs re-writing all together; it's basically someone's opinion, not an encyclopaedia entry:
:Bismarck understood Germany should remain a land-based, peace-loving European power as she had always been. Kaiser Wilhelm I died and Wilhelm the II became the new Kaiser in 1888, and had entirely different intention for German diplomacy. Wilhelm II had a plan called "Weltpolitik", which meant he wanted Germany to be a large, strong, and unbeatable empire in every possible way. Bismarck saw Wilhelm’s aspirations, especially his idea of building a navy, as a threat to Germany’s peace he spent the last twenty years building. The clash of ideas and values between Bismarck and young "Willy" made Bismarck’s only hope of protecting the peace and securing the intricate network of alliance he had created by threat to resign, for without Bismarck the alliances were doomed to fail. Wilhelm II, arrogant and confident in his ability to maintain Germany’s power, accepted Bismarck’s informal proposal and Bismarck, with no friends to turn to, was forced to resign in 1890. It was here after that the German alliances started to crumble.

message: The article refers to Germany's nationalism as if it was well established.

Talk:Chester Kallman

message: Chester Kallman must be one of very few writers who have an author template from their collaborator "(and sometime lover)".  The Auden template looks out of place here, since Kallman did not have a hand in his English work, the body of which many (including myself) think frequently more interesting than his American work.  According to the Wikipedia W. H. Auden entry, Kallman and Auden met around 1939, when Auden was in process moving to the USA.  Let's have a Kallman template instead! if anyone wants to bother.
But perhaps this is Wikipedia custom, since I see an Allen Ginsberg author template at Peter Orlovsky's Wikipedia entry;  although not one for Gertrude Stein at the Alice B. Toklas entry, or D. H. Lawrence at the Frieda Lawrence entry, Virginia Woolf at the Leonard Woolf entry, James Joyce at the Nora Joyce entry, etc. Maybe the lover's author template custom works for gay men. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 18:29, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Kallman would perhaps be WP-important without Auden, but he is well known as Auden's lover, not as a writer.
