Talk:Torsten Carleman

message: The IP proposes to compare Carleman's alcoholism with the alleged health problems of the political leaders mentioned.  I think it would be too inflammatory to bring in such famous individuals.  It would therefore be preferable to stick to mathematicians.  Perhaps it is more legimitate to report character shortcomings of Gottlob Frege, Oswald Teichmuller, and Paul de Man, but this needs to be argued.  Tkuvho (talk) 15:32, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:John Cator

message: User:Malvin mitchell made the following addition:
:Article subject to corrections, Cator accumulated a large estate, his heir John Barwell Cator acquired permission to sell plots of land in from 1825, he and his heir Albemarle Cator continued to lease plots to various builders. Other purchasers of parts of the estates contributed to property and railway development I.e. Wythes, Forster, Redman throughout the 19th century and into the 20th. Records in Bromley Local Studies library and elsewhere. John Cator was not an urban developer implied in the first sentence. The earliest ordnance survey maps post John Cator's death still show a patchwork of fields.
These addition to article text also removed here:
* "the viewpoint that he developed Beckenham and Blackheath is erroneous and should be attributed to his nephew, John Barwell Cator and other heirs. See OS maps for 1860 which show Beckenham etc. still as mainly fields and woodland."
* "(Hortus Collinsonianus) but it may have been a red brick building originally."

Talk:Väinö Auer

message: I removed the bit about "mystery of nazi submarines", because it was very badly written and I couldn't understand what was supposed to be the essence of it. It is completely believable, though, that Kriegsmarine was operating in Tierra del Fuego during WW2,  among other places, considering a lot of the wartime shipping between Germany and Japan during the war was done by U-boots. It's also believable that Auer was somehow involved with it, considering that he had connections to the region before and after the war and also close connections to Germany. 
However, with the only quoted source being a web page involving stuff about UFO's, for now I think it's reasonable to remove this bit. Then there's the Youtube video, from which there seemed to be a poor double-translation from Finnish via Spanish to English in the article. The narrator says, translated to the best of my ability from Finnish to English: "... They have held a meeting in Berlin, in which the world has been repartitioned between the allies of Germany. What is now Belgian Congo has been reserved for Finland. My own tasks included assisting the Germans in establishing a submarine base in Tierra del Fuego. The base has indeed been established." I'm not familiar with the documentary from which this clip evidently is from, so the context of the quote is completely unclear to me.
Currently the article has a gap what comes to mister Auer's activities between 1938 and 1946, so it obviously could be made better. --Antti Salonen (talk) 07:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree that the article should cover all aspects of the person, and mr. Auer was, aside from being a notable geologist, also a prominent Finnish nationalist. Some of his wartime work can no doubt be seen as controversial, although put into its historical context I'm not personally convinced that it is so. However, regarding any significant Kriegsmarine operations (like big bases, as currently mentioned in the article) in Tierra del Fuego I have a difficult time finding any sources that look particularly credible - at least from the Internet.

Talk:Vernon Lyman Kellogg

message: Wgat was the religious family background of Vernon Lyman Kellogg
Is what he writes in about Belgum accurate or was he drawn into the propaganda machine of the first world war.  he became a member of the Rockefeller Foundation.  At the time JP Morgan had finances all the armaments on credit out of of the USA to UK, France and Russia.
The United Kingdom ran a huge propaganda machine against Germany.  JP Morgan was Jewish and if Kellog was Jewish then one has to ask was Kellog influenced by the vast sum of money JP Mprgan made in the first world war.  Rockefeller I believe was also Jewish.  The absence of any mention of Kellogs early family Religious upbringing is very noticeable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.239.191.254 (talk) 23:14, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:John Cumming (clergyman)

message: I feel this article is unfair on John Cumming. Whilst it is a good biography of the man, it says nothing about what he believed and preached - which is what his life was all about. As a result, the impression is given that there was little more to him than dogmatic ranting and that, ultimately, he falls to the superior logic of George Eliot. 
However, if one takes the trouble to look up Eliot's article quite a different picture emerges. It's a sad piece of journalism which rarely rises above abuse and character assassination to engage in assessment of any kind. Do go and look at it. Eliot's theme seems to be that Cumming is obsessed with sin and with pointing a finger at the man of sin. She seems to feel he should give more weight to natural human goodness. But this studiously ignores Cumming's premiss that it will not be humans who decide ultimately but rather the will of a deity. Cumming thinks a little humility on our part would not go amiss. 
I feel Eliot is unfair to say that Cumming relies upon preachers' tricks. Most of his important lectures and sermons were printed and one can turn the pages to check the consistency of his arguments, whether or not one is convinced by them. 
Perhaps Cumming looked in the wrong place for the solution to the human predicament. Historical dating of the end-times has not enjoyed a happy history of its own. But the 150 years since Eliot wrote may not give much confidence in natural human goodness as a force in world affairs either. John Cumming's work sets out the problem as sharply for us as it did for his own contemporaries. Coxparra (talk) 08:34, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Wallace Walter Atwood

message: I came to this page looking for information about Wallace Atwood's work in Geology and was struck by what seems to me a tendentious political view.
The comment that President Atwood's banning the speech of a Socialist on campus "won him great renown" is hardly objective. His conduct was undoubtedly approved by many conservatives in this Red Scare era, but criticized by many liberals, including, for example, editors of the New York Evening Post, who spoke of "drastic censorship", and Bruce Bliven, writing in the NEW REPUBLIC, who pointed out that it generated a large-scale student protest. Atwood's follow-up in banning a left-wing magazine from the college supports a conclusion that the Nearing affair, in which Atwood clearly blew his top, was not just the isolated action of an angry man. (Incidentally, it's interesting to note that Anthropologist Franz Boas left his teaching position at Clark in a academic freedom dispute with Atwood's predecessor).
I know nothing about Atwood, his politics or academic achievements, but perhaps someone more knowledgeable on the subject of the man's life could rewrite this in a more even-handed way. 50.131.247.95 (talk) 03:07, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Hi everyone,
Is Jack Glass a Christian fundamentalist or just a Christian evangelical?
The reason why I ask is because I edit from Canada. In Canada, the label of "fundamentalist" is often pejorative so I have been moving articles from "fundamentalist" to "evangelical". However, there are some places in the world where the label is respected, for example, see HopeChrist's response to my removing the label from Local churches, Watchman Nee, Witness Lee.

Talk:Warren Ambrose

message: Ambrose is also known for his representation of measure preserving ergodic flows as flows under a function. This was later extended to flows which need not be ergodic by Ambrose-Kakutani and to flows which are only nonsingular by Krengel and Kubo. This turned out to be important in the theory of operator algebras. It is discussed in the section "Ergodic Flows" of Wikipedia. In the Encyclopedia of Mathematics Prof. K. Ito wrote in 1993: "In this connection the theorem of Krengel and Kubo plays a significant role." Krengel achieved the representation of semiflows (which need not be invertable)and Daniel Rudolph showed that the ceiling function  can be constructed with the property that it assumes only two values. --Golf-ulk (talk) 08:39, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

The eBay auction information is also still available now for you to review the claim it is a Lawrence image. Lawrence would only have been about 16 years of age but he was painting pastels at that time; Downman would have been 35 at the time of the portrait.

Talk:John Dubois

message: DuBois also lived and served Catholics in Richmond, Virginia. Unfortunately, I am away from that state and cannot consult Gerard Fogarty's book, Commonwealth Catholics, which might even say that duBois was consecrated a bishop for Richmond, but moved the new diocese to Bardstown, Kentucky, where many Catholics (and Baptists, etc.) fled seeking freedom to practice their faiths (as well as to make fortunes). Although clergy of many faiths gave Fr. DuBois a big send-off, and he was even honored by being allowed to act as chaplain to the legislature for a day, the cause may have been rampant anti-Catholicism in the boom town, probably led by Spencer Roane, by then a Justice of what later became the Virginia Supreme Court. Fogarty mentions litigation involving the will of Peter Gallego, a wealthy merchant whose flour mills shipped processed Virginia grain to Brazil, but the actual records may have been destroyed when Confederate forces burned Richmond as they abandoned their capital at the close of the Civil War.Jweaver28 (talk) 11:47, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
