Talk:Harrison Schmitt

message: Schmitt, while on the Moon, allegedly said, "You see one Earth, you've seen them all."
And, of Schmitt, it's allegedly said, "If God had meant Man to fly, He would never have made Jack Schmitt."

message: Should his little ditty be mentioned outside of the embedded video? I suspect it is the second most played Apollo soundbite but of course I have no way to prove that. Of course really it's hardly notable next to all his other achievements, but nearly everybody with a television must have heard it, even though they probably have no idea which mission it was from. --130.88.161.173 (talk) 19:55, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Add it if you want. I think the "there is ORANGE SOIL" ("Hey it is! I can see it from here!") clip and Al Shepard's golf shot are probably in competition for the second most viewed Apollo clips after Neil Armstrong's first steps. :-) --Jatkins (talk - contribs) 13:23, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

message: He's also been prominent in denying global warming, should that be mentioned?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.132.222.135 (talk) 21:12, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why?  A recent poll showed that over 72% of Americans think global warming is a hoax. That puts those who believe in global warming, anthropogenic or otherwise, into the lunatic fringe conspiracy theorist category, like you, anonymous commenter, and Jack Schmitt squarely in the mainstream.  Since his views are mainstream, I don't think they need special mention here.—QuicksilverT @ 01:51, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Cut the bullshit. These recent polls sure as hell doesn't have anything near that. The mainstream scientific view is that there is anthropogenic climate change. Reywas92Talk 03:08, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  And when did the validity of a premise - especially in the sciences - ever depend upon counting noses? -- Tucci78 (talk) 08:24, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Global warming denier?

message: Harrison Schmitt has taken the position that climate change is not caused by human activity. "[The] global warming scare is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision-making." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,493624,00.html--Cfoxwiki (talk) 18:06, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's politically charged only in the US, to most of the rest of the world and most scientists, it's just denialism. The scientific consensus is pretty well established, and it is much like denying evolution in the US (it's politically controversial but accepted by scientists). Removing mentions of the Scientific opinion on climate change because it doesn't suit your beliefs is just too bad, IRWolfie- (talk) 13:36, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Poor Harrison. It seems his mind has gotten fuzzy, as happens with many older people. 73.151.67.233 (talk) 01:06, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Schmitt was NOMINATED, not appointed to be head of NM EMNRD. He withdrew his nomination after refusing to agree to a background check.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by N2ic (talk • contribs) 14:04, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is the only moonwalk clip on this article of him falling over?  Seems to be an odd choice... Wingman4l7 (talk) 00:13, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The article says he got a PhD from Harvard, but doesn't list Harvard under alma mater. Is there a reason for that (something related to the work being done at University of Oslo, perhaps) or it just an omission? ColinClark (talk) 18:37, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

message: I removed the following,

thread_title:  Blog comment removed per WP:BLP 

message: Section = 109 BLP articles labelled "Climate Change Deniers" all at once. This article was placed in a "climate change deniers" category. After discussion on WP:BLPN and WP:CFD the category was deleted. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 17:21, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: BLP noticeboard

message: I reverted the deletion of the nickname "Jack" from the lead; I think it's important enough to keep there because it is not based on Schmitt's real names. (Granted, "Gene" and "Ron" are obviously based on the given names Eugene and Ronald, and thus not necessary to include because they can be assumed.) If you are going by WP:NICKNAME, notice that guideline is meant to apply to the article titles, not the article text. JustinTime55 (talk) 16:38, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: If 'Jack' is his common name, then move the article there, and then 'Jack' would correctly be in the middle of his name. Otherwise this is just an informal nickname like Gazza or Dubya. GiantSnowman 18:10, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

text: My reading of WP:NICKNAME is that it only applies to the title of the article, that is, without precluding such mention in the article itself: "Article titles are hardly suitable to clarify, explain, or in any other way elaborate on the composition of a name. Any clarification can be placed in the article." It follows that if an adjunct nickname is used in the first sentence of the lead, it must definitely be serious (not Dubya), and cited in-situ.
