Talk:Orientalism

message: Added to list, since he is at least "notable" enough for his own WP article. Perhaps this list (and others?) should be spun-off as separate list? ~Eric F 74.60.29.141 (talk) 15:41, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Rudolf Ernst]] (1854-1932) 

message: I searched on Wikipedia for an article on orientalist art, a significant artistic movement of the 19th century, and instead found left-wing indoctrination criticizing all of Europe and America and directing me to read a harshly critical book by Edward Said, who I never heard of, published in 1978.
How about if I am not interested in reading a book by Edward Said published in 1978? How about if I want to read about Orientalist Art and the artists that painted in that genre? Where do I go? Clearly, I do not go to Wikipedia, because here we see the umbrella term of "Orientalism" being used to criticize all of the Western artists, poets and writers that were inspired by the cultures outside of the West.
Will Wikipedia discuss the artists that painted Orientalist works, without explicitly directing the reader on how to think and feel about them?
It seems to me that there is a great fear on Wikipedia, lest people make up their own minds about things, and articles such as this one are prefaced with cues on how to think and how to feel and how to draw the proper (left-wing) conclusions. 
It is jarring to me, that instead of leading with facts and information, this article leads instead with the left-wing slant, telling the reader that all art, philosophy and literature inspired by cultures outside of the West is horrible racist wickedness and the result of colonialism, and directing the reader to study colonialism.

Talk:Early western influence in Fujian

message: This article needs to be split up and merged with other articles.  
I would suggest taking the Fujian/Fuzhou related parts and putting 
them in there.
Also, a lot of the historical facts in there are just wrong.  Very
badly wrong.  For example Jesuit missionaries to the Yuan has
the problem that the Yuan dynasty ended in 1368 while the Jesuits
were founded in 1540.  Now the Jesuits were active with the
Ming and Qing, but that kills the notion that China shut itself
off for five hundred years.
The perspective and language sounds very mid-20th or even 
mid-19th century.  For example there is the astonishment that
there were actually Jews in China, while completely ignore
the quite active cultural interchange with Arabs.

thread_title:  Old discussion 

message: The term hoop cheese was used for two very different types of cheese, one which is the kind this article describes, and the other which was a hard cheese, something like a cheddar. This article is mainly about the soft sort, but it confuses them when it mentions the country store--the hoop cheese cutter was for the hard variety. I also expect that the hoop cheese served on biscuits in NC is the hard variety.

Talk:Canadian Labour Congress

message: The article needs to be cleaned and updated post convention. I think the bit about Carol Wall should be deleted. She didn't win and it wasn't that noteworthy in the first place. What do people think?
:I think that it certainly needs to be cleaned up and updated - both post convention, and just in general.  If I have time, I'll give it a try.  However, I'm not sure that it's necessarily the right call to just delete the bit about Wall's candidacy -- I think that having a relatively unknown candidate coming from nowhere to get over 37% of the vote at the convention floor, with very little backing from any of the major affiliates was a sign of a significant grassroots alienation, and not something that can be brushed off as not that newsworthy.

thread_title:  Assessment 

message: Not sure where to put this, but wanted to clear something up about the CLC page. 
While yes, the "CLC" page is the Canadian Labor Congress, in the US the AFL-CIO operates through a quasi-autonomous structure of local geographical jurisdictions called Central Labor Councils (CLCs), as well as Federations of Labor, Area Labor Federations, and Regional Labor Federations. However, in the Labor movement we just call them all CLCs. 
Thus, when you see AFL-CIO CLC in the affiliation section of Unions, the CLC designation refers to the individual Union itself as a Central Labor Council. All of the Locals of a given Union create the National/International Union, and through elections internally they select their Leadership. Then, that Leadership is seated on the AFL-CIO Executive Council after a vote by the National AFL-CIO General/International/National Presidents. 
Hope this helps.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CFCD:2D30:25C5:B51B:BD86:63D3 (talk) 17:12, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

message: From VfD:
A primary school (presumably that is what years 1 to 8 refers to; even with 11+ equalling 1st year, a secondary school only reaches the upper sixth form).  The one thing perhaps saving it is its age, dating from 1897 which for a school in the colony of New Zealand probably makes it one of the oldest in the country. Dunc_Harris|☺ 12:43, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

He did collect plants used in witchcraft, and S. Weir Mitchell, M.D. did write about psychedelic drugs, but I can find no confirmation of a link between Merritt and Mitchell. - Kenwarren 15:56, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
Question.  Anyone?  My understanding was that most of Hannes Bok's collaborations with Merritt were posthumous.  Calling him a frequent collaborator would be inaccurate  I don't have anything in front of me now but could someone check the accuracy of the Bok statement and point to a list of collaborations?

The cover image here came from the official Misfits website (click on the image to see the source link), so I assume it's legit. 12 Hits from Hell was supposed to be released in 2001, so it makes perfect sense that it would have an advisory sticker (2001 being, of course, after the '90s). --IllaZilla (talk) 17:25, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Can anyone add topics? Mike H 20:48, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
Wikipedia is very weak on much of the humanities, compared to the often sterling coverage of popular culture, science, technology, political history and math. I like Kelly what's her face from American Idol, but doesn't anyone think it's weird that each song on her second album is covered in detail, while books that arguably influenced more people aren't detailed at all? It's also pretty crazy that a Star Trek actress (and I like Star Trek, thanks), Roxann Dawson, should be listed as a playwright, when people whose plays have been done hundreds of times are still stuck in "stub" mode. It also seems that some of the women writers are getting short shrift - judging by a random sampling, some articles seem more interested in whether they were married or who they were involved with, than whether they had an impact on other writers. 67.10.131.229 05:18, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
