Talk:Pauli Murray

message: Pauli Murray could be formally referred to as Rev. Pauli Murray or Dr. Pauli Murray.  However, the reference Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray is incorrect. 
Dr. Murray received a Doctorate of Juridical Science from Yale University in 1965.
Rev. Murray received a Master of Divinity from the General Theological Seminary in 1976.  (emphasis mine)
My understanding of the honorific Reverend Doctor would require that one receive a doctorate in divinity or theology.  That is not the case and that reference should be reverted.

replies: text: If you have public domain images of Murray to donate for those spots, I say go for it. -- Khazar2 (talk) 17:07, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

text: Agreed. For the Eleanor Roosevelt image I substituted a Commons image of the Howard University School of Law under that subheading. I removed the Ruth Bader Ginsburg image without substituting another image as I found nothing suitable. -- Deborahjay (talk) 16:13, 24 May 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Choice of photos 

message: In response to the person who claimed that "the honorific Reverend Doctor would require that one receive a doctorate in divinity or theology": this is incorrect. Anyone who is an ordained minister and also has a doctorate (PhD or any other doctoral degree) in any field is properly titled "The Rev. Dr. So-and-so." A quick google search will confirm this. Also, the title "Rev." should have a definite article in front of it. I updated the "Death and Legacy" section to state "The Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray."
I deleted the sentence in the opening section referring to Murray as an "Episcopal saint." Firstly, it was out of place. It fell in the middle of a paragraph describing her process of becoming a priest; it's awkward to mention something that didn't occur until several decades after her death. Secondly, it was redundant. Her inclusion among the collection "Holy Women, Holy Men" is already (and more appropriately) mentioned in the "Death and Legacy" section of the wiki page. Thirdly, the Episcopal Church does not make "saints." Churches in the Anglican Communion (including the Episcopal Church) have not canonized anyone since the time of the Reformation. The only "saints" in its calendar are those who were recognized as such before the Reformation (biblical saints such as St. Paul, and later figures such as St. Catherine of Sienna). The proper term here is not "sainthood" or "saint's day," but "commemoration." All new additions to "Holy Women, Holy Men" are considered commemorations. For example, John Calvin was added to the calendar, but he is not considered "St. John Calvin" in the Episcopal Church. Anyway, Murray's inclusion in HWHM is still referenced in the article; I just wanted to clarify.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AngloShmanglo (talk • contribs) 01:50, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

message: It says that Murray's father started having emotional problems as a result of typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is a bacterial illness that people get from swallowing fecal contaminated food or water that has the bacteria (Salmonella typhi) present. It causes high fever and sometimes septicemia which can kill the patient. It does not cause emotional problems that would lead to a person being institutionalized. It is not like the tertiary stage of syphilis. This needs to be changed b/c it is incorrect. Completely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.248.13.32 (talk) 19:07, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe it doesn't mean that typhoid fever specifically was causing the emotional problems- any illness can cause emotional changes; how many people become irritated when they are injured, or suffer from low mood when illness prevents them from living their normal lives?

thread_title:  Irene Barlow 

message: The paragraph about Murray's early life says that her father had "emotional problems" and that some (who?) had attributed it to typhoid fever. Typhoid fever is a gastro-intestinal disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. It can cause delirium due to the high fever but it has no other neurological complications and does not cause damage to the central nervous system. If her father had emotional problems, it was because of something else, NOT caused by a pathogen of the digestive system.
