Talk:Marshall Poe

message: I have reinserted a formulation that I had tried previously.  Every attempt to remove all reference to the Wikipedia articles as WP:NSR has resulted in a prompt reintroduction by another user.  The formulation in which I mentioned Wikipedia as one of two examples for the articles Mr. Poe has written, with a reference link to the list of his Atlantic articles resulted in no edits to this article for three days. Jeandré removed the examples as NSR, and someone immediately added direct links to the article and it's been a back and forth ever since.  Clearly, Wikipedians cannot live without a reference to the article on Wikipedia and I feel that the current formulation minimizes the navel-gazing and preempts the slow motion edit war.  I would suggest removing the examples in a couple months when people's attention has shifted, but propose keeping this formulation as a compromise in the meantime.  In any case, I will refrain from editing this article in the future. - BT 19:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: An editor has inserted a comment asserting that Poe's Atlantic Monthly article "The Hive" is a "minor article" and insisting that no one link this article to his bio. On the contrary, the article is a major piece on a contemporary topic in a preeminent publication and therefore worthy of a link. If Poe's obscure works on Russian history deserve linkage, then so does this. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.40.57.130 (talk • contribs) 02:34, 18 September 2006
:I have to agree with the unsigned opinion here.  While perhaps not worthy of mention in the text, there's no reason we can't include a simple external link, which I will do.  While we should be cautious against the temptation for meta-commentary that is so prevalent in Wikipedia, we should also not through that very caution veer into the opposite extreme by banning all mention of a major article on a major topic for a major publication.

replies: text: I arrived here because of "The Hive" which I believe it to be a terrific piece of work on contemporary history.--Granludo 08:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  A Dissenting Opinion 

message: The Poe article on WP addresses the question: "What's the end point/goal of WP?" Answer: it is laying claim to a vast region of the internet. But won't it go further - organising the entire internet, by way of the expanding number of sub-pages and mini-topics with their relevant external links? Yahoo does it top down, Google bottom up, WP from the inside out. If anyone has it, I'd appreciate a link to any page that addresses these ideas. Anyway, the article was a pleasure to read.--Shtove 16:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. I read your article in The Atlantic, and I thought it was great. You used your knowledge of Wikipedia well, and you proved your extastential writing abilities. You have the talent, and you use it very well.
Thanks.

thread_title:  Hello 

message: I'd like to restore the following passage to the article. It may have been dropped accidentally.
:Poe's own work has brought back from obscurity the writings of the16th-century Austrian diplomat Sigismund von Herberstein, who was one of the first European ethnographers of Russia. 
Also, the forthcoming book listed in the references, a concise history of Russia to be published by Cambridge U.P., should be dropped per WP:CRYSTAL. Notable forthcoming books (commented on by third parties) can be included, but no-one has cited any commentary on this book. EdJohnston (talk) 15:56, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it should be restored as it was that article on WP that got him interested in WP in the first place.  RedJ 17 (talk) 02:02, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Sigismund von Herberstein]] disappears again 

message: There's been some changes in this article to Greece and Greek history that are very much out of place.  Poe is a scholar of Russian history and not Greek history.  I've made some corrections (including putting the reference in about Obama as I've read Poe's piece about playing basketball with Obama), but much of this biography is beyond my knowledge.  Someone else is going to have to check this article.  There is little text here that I trust.  RedJ 17 (talk) 02:02, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
