thread_title:  WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008 

message: I've just corrected the misleading statement that Robin Cavendish was the longest-living polio survivor - he most definitely wasn't as many people survived polio with no ill-effects, or at least without life-threatening disabilities. Robin Cavendish was notable for surviving 36 years on an "Iron Lung". Even this is no record. Michael Prestwich MBE contracted Polio at 17 in 1955 and survived on an iron lung until 27 February 2006; He's listed in the Guinness World Records Book 2006 as "the longest surviving iron-lung patient". I haven't checked recent editions.
In 1971 Michael Prestwich was the first iron lung polio patient to live outside hospital, after marrying his occupational therapist, Maggie. This was made possible by the Lane-Fox Respiratory Unit at St Thomas' Hospital.
There ought to be a page for him, as his life and charity work is just as notable. However, this is for someone else with more time.

Talk:Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia (1772–1806)

message: Military historians have long agreed that one of the main reasons for Saalfeldt being such an unmitigated disaster was Louis Ferdinand's refusal to follow orders (or even suggestions). The portrayal of his military achievements might therefore be given a slightly less siccophantic character. [user:ilja.nieuwland]  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilja.nieuwland (talk • contribs) 07:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: A bit more balance, please

message: 1. I do not know about his military experience prior to 1806, but at Saalfeld he proved to be anything but a gifted general. He chose to fight a force that was larger then his - 12,800 against his 8,300. He had an advantage in artillery, outgunning the French by almost 4 to 1 (44 Prussian guns against 14 French ones), but he did not use this. He deployed his forces on low ground, with their backs against the Saale river, giving up the high ground to the French while making his retreat very difficult. He might have been a brave soldier, as seen in his death, but he wasn't a good general. Again, I do not know about his previous service. Saalfeld might have been a single mistake, but it was still a large one.
2. Regarding his death, the previous article ("He was killed by Guindet, quartermaster of the French 10th Hussars after Louis Ferdinand refused to surrender.") was too ambiguous. He was killed after refusing surrender, but he was killed in combat. Guindey asked him to surrender, Louis Ferdinand refused and attacked the French NCO, wounding him in the face. Guindey sabered him down after that. (Andre Castelot, Napoleon). Also, Castelot gives the name of the French quartermaster as Guindey, not Guindet. Flavius T (talk) 03:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Prosper Sainton

message: Richard Wagner said that Sainton and the German pianist Carl Lüders "lived together as man and wife", clearly implying homosexuality (with which he had no problems but to which he was personally disinclined) and he found their companionship delightful enough to visit them many times.  See Laurence Dreyfus, Wagner and the Erotic Impulse, p. 203.
However, Benjamin Ivry in his review of Simon Callow's book Being Wagner: The Triumph of the Will, where this gay claim is repeated, says Callow has made too much of Wagner's words, and tries to refute the claim by stating that Sainton married a female in London.  Well, so what, one might ask. Many gay men were forced to marry in those days.  
*  Callow may be a luvvie but he is not a pseud. Only occasionally do his readings of biographical details, however well-intentioned, go awry. He takes literally Wagner’s claim in My Life that his supporters in London, the German pianist Carl Lüders and French violinist Prosper Sainton, ‘lived together as man and wife’, Whereas only five years after seeing Wagner in London in 1855, Sainton would marry the English contralto Charlotte Dolby. As Callow implies elsewhere, someone as perfectly egoistic as Wagner was not a perceptive observer of those around him, nor could he appreciate the concept of disinterested friendship. Yet Callow segues from noting how Lüders and Sainton cared for each other to remark: ‘Sex seems always to have been in the air when Wagner was about. He was notably relaxed about homosexuality, and throughout his career owed a great deal to gay enthusiasts of his work.’ This forcibly pulls the Wagner circle into our era of marriage equality rather than leaving them amid murkier Victorian emotions.

Talk:Mou Zongsan

message: This is a very well done addition to the Mou Zongsan article, and I believe the addressing of both consequences and criticisms displays the difference in metaphysical views as well as the implementing of these systems. The discussion of the child on the well example I believe may need another sentence or two of explanation. If clarified as a different belief than Kant I think Mou's idea of transcendence and morality may come through clearer. In that Kant only believed humans can grasp the idea of understanding morality and reality, Mou believed that a person could get much closer to the true forms of the universe. Perhaps because of Confucian ideas of harmony and the interconnectedness of the universe and man.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The new additions to the 'Mou's philosophy' section provide an in depth, logically concise and substantive overview regarding Mou's philosophy as it oriented around European thinkers such as Kant and Heidegger. The prose is easy to read and logically ordered. Complex ideas presented in the section dealing with Heidegger is elegantly presented. The content very much feels like a concise review of academic journals that is readable by the average reader. Each section builds on one another and gives the reader a deep scope into Mou's general philosophy. I suggest the author to remain consistent with the usage of Chinese characters. It also might be useful to establish the difference between 'Dasein' and 'Being' in the context of this article, for the reader may be confused whether 'Dasein' means 
'Being' or if there is a difference in their meanings.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmarcos (talk • contribs) 00:43, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mou Zongsan 

message: Thank you a lot for your contribution. I like your summary on the comparative philosophy between Mou and Kant and Mou and Heidegger. It gives insight into how Chinese indigenous thoughts and Western philosophical traditions talk to each other. Currently, the "Mou's philosophy" section is mostly dedicated to work in Mou's view on metaphysics and moral metaphysics. Although both the introduction section and the criticism part mention the importance of Mou's political philosophy, more work can be done in the body section of the entry to explain what his political philosophy is (e.g. the concept of "self-restriction"自我坎陷) and how it relates to the rest of his metaphysics.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hzhang17 (talk • contribs) 00:11, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
