Talk:George Wald

message: Though it is widely believed that Wald held a Columbia Ph.D., the truth is that he never received the degree.  He completed his coursework (earning an M.A. from Columbia in the process) and successfully defended his dissertation, but could not afford to deposit 200 copies of it with the university's library as was required at the time.  By the time he had the funds to meet this requirement he had become sufficiently well-established in his field that he felt he didn't need a diploma, so he just kept the money.
(The above comment is unsigned, somehow.) Two hundred copies! The idea is absurd. The library would be overflowing with dissertations if that were true. Tex (talk) 20:59, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not absurd. I found the 1932-33 Columbia University Catalogue : "Each candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy shall present a dissertation embodying the results of original investigation and research on some topic previously approved by the professor in charge of the major subject. When such dissertation has been approved, it shall be printed by the candidate, and 75 copies shall be delivered to the Librarian of the University before the degree is conferred."  It is possible that 200 is an exaggeration. But even 75 copies would have been a significant financial burden. Eos19 (talk) 14:42, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Talk 

message: The citation given for the claim that Wald was an atheist is probably unreliable. 
It cites "Programming of Life" by Donald E. Johnson. Looking up this book on WorldCat it appears to be about how DNA etc. can be seen as analogous to computer code. I have only ever seen this sort of claim in creationist circles so I'm extremely skeptical this book is worth citing, but I don't know enough about the issue to be sure. 
Anyway, the more pressing issue is that the quote this book attributes to Wald ("I will not believe that philosophically...") is a part of a larger quote that creationists made up, per TalkOrigins. From what I have been able to gather, Wald never said this.
I wish I had more time to look into this and fix the potential issue, but for now I'm just going to add the unreliable source tag and point to this topic. Hopefully someone else can sort this out.

Talk:Hotter than Hell (album)

message: The part "Ace Frehley's image on the front cover is actually airbrushed, as a side of his face was injured in a car accident and was without makeup on the afflicted area at the time of the photo shoot." is incorrect. Ace was in full make-up at the photo shoot. Here you can see the photos from that session: Hotter than Hell Photo shoot
He was in half make-up at another session, probably after the one above. Maybe someone can correct the info in the article? English isn't my native language.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.226.50.218 (talk) 12:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

There can be seen pictures from both sessions and there is an Ace quote where he says that "For one photo session we did for the Hotter Than Hell album (...)", so we can assume there wasn't just one session. I think that this confirm that the picture in the cover isn't from the same session than the half-painted face, so i'll delete that part. Riffonline (talk) 22:26, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Just because you can find a citation from a critic that categorizes it into some genre does not mean that is true. I have never heard anyone call Kiss proto-punk. Considering that Kiss's music is laden with misogynist language that sexualizes women and speaks from a traditional masculine point of view, it should not be considered punk-like at all. A musical genre is not merely a sonic or visual choice, it has a political stance of some sort. Punk audiences tend not to view the world is the same way that hard rock or what is now known as "classic rock" does. They tend to have more progressive attitudes than Kiss portrays in their performances. If anything, punk replaced sex with violence in many instances. Moreover, punk already existed by the time Kiss went mainstream. Kiss members were hyped as rock heroes, and did not portray themselves as "losers" or the average people as punk musicians had tendency to. Punk audiences did not adopt Kiss; they were more likely to have been repulsed by them (just as Kiss fans were likely disdainful of punk).2603:7080:ED3F:2F00:D5ED:F189:5497:837B (talk) 01:45, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bristol Sessions 

message: I have completely removed the Bristol reference. Uncle Dave did not participate in what was known as the Bristol sessions (a cursory glance at the page will tell you that), and the Bristol sessions were not in a recording studio built so musicians didn't have to go to New York City. They were held over a weekend or so in a converted warehouse by Ralph Peer on a 'talent hunt', so to speak. In any case, Macon had nothing to do with them and even if he did, the factual information about the sessions was incorrect. Uncle Dave deserves a nice big article, but that section needed to be ousted. Jason 17:46, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I have heard from people who knew Uncle Dave personally (obviously when they were quite young and he was quite elderly) that early in his performing career that he felt considerable guilt in that he now received far more money for making music, something that he regarded as pleasure, than he or his friends or family had ever received for the hard work of hauling freight or manual labor.  While I have no doubt that this is true, is anyone aware of a published work stating this or something to the same effect so that this could be considered to be verifiable and encylopedic?

message: Read the Grove article in question, since mention of Schoeck's "alignment with Nazi policies" and association with serialism threw me.  The latter apparently involved a brief period in his life, around the time of his opera Penthesilea; it might better be described as a flirtation with Bergian serial technique.  The alignment with Nazi policy seems to have had deeper roots (even then, Goering ended up condemning one of Schoeck's librettos.)

I understand that this may not be the intention for articles in Wikipedia; it nevertheless remains the matter of fact of how it is used.  Instead of deleting, perhaps it may be sufficient to rename the article to imply that it provides how to guidance rather than what is guidance -- or else, just leave it alone. It helped me.

thread_title:  Introducing the Queen Mary University London editing team 

message: Hi, I'm Alexandra from the QM Research Methods group. I plan on editing the article to include a new section on the strangely omitted Shakespeare references. Including the basing of the film upon the play The Taming of the Shrew and its direct reference to the characters names and behaviours. Other Shakespeare references also pop directly in several lines from the film, other characters, and the crux of the meta English class on Shakespeare in which the denouement takes place. I think it is also important to note that the screenwriting pair Karen McCullah and Lutz Kirsten Smith also wrote She's the Man (2006) - an adaptation of William Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, there are no other high school films nearly as successful based on Shakespeare plays, let alone there only being a few. It will all be backed up by thorough academic research and citations.
