Talk:The Medway Poets

message: Does anybody associated with the Medway Poets have details of any more group anthologies?
Tyrenius 04:20, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anthologies 

message: As a member of the Medway Poets I am distressed to hear that we are referred to as "Anti-intellectual".  This is just not true.  
I think a poem that I wrote a few years ago called "Shadow Warrior" may have contributed to this misunderstanding.  Anyone that knows my work is aware that I am very interested in the Jungian concept of the shadow.  In the 80's I wrote several poems exploring this.  "Shadow Warrior" was the only of those poems that I allowed my personal shadow to write.  I wanted to explore why ordinary people commit acts of violence and terrorism and in this poem my shadow vents its anger on the academic establishment.  I want to make it clear, however, that it was my shadow and not myself that expressed these feelings.  I had thought that I had made this clear by using the title "Shadow Warrior" but apparantly I did not.
I set the poem out below and you can judge for yourselves.  
This criticism of anti-intellectualism has not only been levelled at The Medway Poets but also at Stuckism and Remodernism.  If I may just add my thoughts on this: Remodernism is about going back to the beginings of Modernism and starting again.  All established intellectualism derives from the Newtonian Cartesian paradigm.  I and many other Remodernists believe a new paradigm is emerging informed by quantum mechanics.  For further information on this you should check out the works of Matthew Fox, Fritjof Capra, and Diarmuid O'Murchu.  We are a different kind of intellectual, I have referred to it in one of my books as an "intellect of the heart".
Finally, I am not saying that everybody in Remodernism is or isn't an intellectual but in a movement which has thousands of members (100 groups worldwide) it would be wrong to make blanket statements.  Bill Lewis
:Thanks for your response. I have deleted the poem, as it is copyright material which Wiki cannot use (unless you release it under a free licence of some kind); it is still in the history, however. I have moved the "Criticism" text here:
::The group has been criticised for "anti-intellectualism"."Stuckism and the Medway Poets", Steve Spence Accessed April 9, 2006
::*
:At the moment it does stand out in isolation and is not balanced. I was hoping this section could be expanded with more info. If you can help to expand it, please do, citing references. As The Medway Poets existed pre-internet, it is harder to find information on them.
:There is also a separate article on Remodernism.

message: It is really appropriate to refer to Japan in the phrase "which allowed her to keep abreast of Western technology and medicine in the period when the country was closed to foreigners, 1641–1853, because of the Tokugawa shogunate's policy of national isolation (sakoku)." --chemica 23:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have the same question.  If it were just the one occurrence, I would go ahead and change it, but the article currently uses "her" to refer to Japan at least five times.  To my eye, this gives the article an old-fashioned flavor, but I'm not clear on Wikipedia's policy (if any) about which pronoun to use for a country.  Still, I'm strongly inclined to go in and change to "it" throughout. --Elysdir 03:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Picture formatting! 

message: I've read that the ancient Romans used a form of general anesthesia by giving the patient a piece of mandrake root to chew. All parts of the mandrake (Mandragora officinalis) are rich in alkaloids such as scopolamine and hyoscamine, which have anesthetic powers. To the extent that this report is true and that the method is comparable to the Japanese method, the claim that the first successful general anesthesia was in Japan is falsified.
Difficulties: I can't give a reference to this Roman practice and it may be urban legend. And I don't know the details of the claimed Japanese first general anesthesia, so I don't know how the two techniques compare.

message: "Years active" says "1970, 1980-present".  It was originally "1970-present" (set by a bot on 20 July 2011, no particular reason given), and changed to its present form on 22 August 2022 (again, no reason).  I suggest changing it to "1982-present", as many online sources say Airrace was "formed in 1982" (although some say 1983), including this source which says September 1982 , and if that date is correct, change "At 15" to "At 16" in "Early years".  Not sure about The Song Remains the Same (film), maybe if his appearance in that was more than just a clip of home video (like, if he actually performed for an audience), then maybe include "1973" (when it was filmed).  -- HLachman (talk) 22:52, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Mount Maunganui

message: Having surfed and lived in the mount for 6 years, i have never seen the national surfing champs held in mount maunganui. moreover, mount is not famous for its quality waves, it is infamous for its mushy, low quality waves. lastly, the claim that the beach in notoriously dangerous is insupportable. the high amount of lifeguard activity, rescues and casualties is due to the amount of people (specifically the amount of tourists who are rather inept in the water) who swim at the mount over summer, rather than a particularly dangerous stretch of beach.

thread_title: Name of the hill

message: Mount Maunganui is a suburb of Tauranga.  The article needs to reflect that, not what some people may think, although the opinion of locals can be noted.  The year that the City of Tauranga came into being and Mount Maunganui became part of it would be a good inclusion.  As for the harbour bridge 'bringing the two communities together', that's very poetic but it wasn't the purpose for the bridge. Enzedbrit 00:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Yowie (cryptid)

message: In a modern context, Yowie is the generic (and somewhat affectionate) term for the unidentified hominid reputed to lurk in the Australian wilderness. It is, in other words, an Australian cryptid analogous to the Himalayan Yeti and the North American Bigfoot. Australian cryptozoologist Rex Gilroy has attempted to popularise the scientific term Gigantopithecus australis for the creature (understandably without support from the Australian scientific community), based on his theory that they comprise a relic population of the extinct ape Gigantopithecus.
Hi
Rex Gilroy did not say the Yowie was gigantopithecus at all, he says it is Homo erectus and that gigantopithecine types are connected to the giant fossil prints he has discovered not fresh homo erectus-aka Yowie prints.
What I'd like to know is how either of them crossed the Wallace line. Totnesmartin 18:33, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Gilroy and ''Gigantopithecus''

message: I have a little hypothesis about the Yowie.
I think that it's possible that, at the very least, the aboriginal legends may refer to short faced kangaroo species (Procoptodon, Sthenurus, Simosthenurus). As to the modern reports, perhaps large, rounder-faced kangaroos may be responsible (maybe even late-surviving sthenurine kangaroos). Large varieties of potoroo-like kangaroos could give the mistaken impression of a small hominid. As to the more detailed reports of actual "hominids", that leaves me at an almost complete loss.

replies: text: Agree. The Yowie, Whowie, or Yowie-Whowie is also a Dreamtime creature with the six legs of an ant and the head and other characteristics of a lizard. Unlike the modern Yowie, it was relegated to the Dreamtime and has not been seen since. (Most likely because it was killed by an aboriginal hero.) Until the Wikipedia article, I had only heard of this version. I suggest a Yowie (mythology) page. 24.14.198.8 22:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

message: :Also, AnimeSuki still does not list episodes from the S or SuperS seasons of Sailor Moon, even though all five seasons of the anime are unlicensed in the United States.
I need to nitpick this statement, because while factually true, S and SuperS were previously licensed and have commercial region 1 DVDs available.  It's the existence of these DVDs that likely precludes those seasons (as well as the prior two, save perhaps the single episodes excluded from the DVDs) from inclusion on AnimeSuki. --Billdorr 00:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not so much the existence of those discs, per se, I expect, as the fact that most of what is being circulated for those series is rips of those commercial releases, not fansubs.  From the standpoint of AnimeSuki and like-minded fansub users, the original crop of fansubs for Sailor Moon "Classic," R, S, and SuperS ought to have been destroyed a decade ago (not to mention they were all on VHS).  Although both ADV and Geneon have dropped the licenses, and the discs have gotten very hard to find (legitimately, I mean: bootlegs are everywhere), I'm not aware of any major fansub group taking on those series since then (the focus has been on Stars), and all the files I've seen have been copied off of the R1 release.  I for one feel very different about downloading a copy of ADV's subbed version of "Classic," for instance (which is posted all over YouTube), than about downloading a fansub of an unlicensed show.  Is it splitting hairs?  Maybe; I'm not sure. -GSwift 01:26, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
