Talk:Glayde Whitney

message: It is correct that what makes the forward notable for an article on Whitney is that it was highly controversial.  However, only covering those controversial elements takes them out of context and makes them appear to be representative, which they aren't.
As an example of what happens sometimes, Whitney's comment praising the scientific achievements of Jews was selectively quoted by the newspaper article that was the source, changing it to a condemnation.
*What he wrote: "As individuals, scientists of Jewish ancestry cover the entire spectrum of interpretations and approaches to race and heredity. ... From personal experience in academia, it is sometimes hard to believe that Jews constitute only 2% or 3% of the general population Individuals of Jewish ancestry are vastly overrepresented in the ranks of highly successful scientists. They are among my best students and closest friends."  (Following this he continued that Jewish organizations, as a reaction to racism directed toward them, contribute to the suppression of legitimate racial behavioral genetics --part of the larger argument his forward advances.)
*What was in the article, including the narrative it was within: "he believed Duke relied on "good science" in concluding Blacks should attend separate schools and perhaps even live in separate countries ... He also wrote that Jews were "vastly overrepresented in the ranks of highly successful scientist.""
I've done my best to concisely summarize Whitney's actual argument.

thread_title: Maria Korp Photograph

message: One issue needed to be raised is the state of Maria (and possibly Joe's) mental health.  The numerous ironies and eccentricities that came out through the media over the last year have been bizarre to say the least.  A devout catholic family who join a swingers site.  Mrs Korp's sacrifice of a goat and building of a pyramid in her backyard.  Her incessant urge to 'cleanse' the house of evil spirits using incence and prayer.  Joe Korp's belief that because Mrs Korp was cremated, she could not enter heaven; thus in irony he killed himself to 'be her guide' (the irony being, in the catholic faith, suicide == instant eternal damnation).

Talk:Časlav of Serbia

message: The article has substantial original research, strange synthesis and copyright violations too. Dating is wrong and misunderstanding primary and secondary sources. He came back to Serbia 7 years after the Croatian-Bulgarian war which is usually dated to 926. Hence scholars date his reign from 933/934/931 until 943/944 - not 927. Other information and dating until the 950s/960s is not based on DAI yet unreliable LJPD without explanation how and why its Časlav should be related to this Časlav. The borders of his state are uncertain, primary sources don't give any information about some expansion and there's no evidence for it, possibly expanding only into Bosnia.
