Talk:Franziska Donner

message: The introduction to the English article identifies this person as Francesca Maria Barbara Donner.  However this is confusing two sisters.  Barbara Francesca Donner was born in 1896.  It was her sister Franziska Henrica Donner that was born in 1900, and therefore became wife of Syngman Rhee.  Multiple sources confirm birth year of 1900.  Multiple sources refer to her simply as Franziska Donner (or variations); none list Barbara.  Even the German article, which this English version is based on, does not refer to her as Barbara.  The baptism records for the sisters are available in Ancestry.com.  Links to them are available on the Wikitree page https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Donner-244. 2607:FEA8:7A1E:4D00:21D3:8728:CD06:B68E (talk) 01:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Garfield Bromley Oxnam

message: I miss some information about Bishop Oxnam's position in WWII. 
I am somewhat sceptical about his declarations w.r.t. the HUAC. It is always astonishing to see how many people - of otherwise strict moral codes - felt that they were entitled to swindle about their former communist affiliations.
On the other hand, his stance w.r.t the war would give a reliable clue. An average Red would have been decidedly pro-war even before 1939. A dyed-in-the wool Communist would have been anti-war till summer 1940 and would then have changed his opinion suddenly. A conservative patriot would have had reservations till Pearl Harbour. And a Christian pacifist would have cared for the conscientious objectors within his church. So what was Oxnam's position?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rheinvolk (talk • contribs) 20:45, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:George Antonius

message: Though born in the Mount Lebanon area, Antonius was not Lebanese or Egyptian. He was born in what was then part of the Ottoman Empire known as Syria. Rump-Syria was not further partitioned by the French - thus creating Lebanon - until several years after World War One. I don't know whether Antonius would prefer that his nationality be identified now as Palestinian, Syrian or simply Arab, but it is clear from his writing that he objected to the colonial partitioning of Syria and, indeed, the partitioning of the entire Arab portion of the former Ottoman Empire. He would certainly not retrospectively identify himself as Lebanese.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.18.111.140 (talk) 17:58, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Tatsuji Suga

message: A book published in January 2011, Children of the Camps: Japan's Last Forgotten Victims by Dr. Mark Felton of Fudan University in Shanghai has clearly used both the Wikipedia Batu Lintang camp page and the Tatsuji Suga page as the main source for his information on Batu Lintang and Colonel Suga, without acknowledging this use. I started and am the main editor contributing to both these pages.
*All the information that is in his book is already in these two Wikipedia pages or can be extrapolated from them.
*Some of the speculative and interpretative information that he has added in his book is incorrect, presumably because he misunderstood the Wikipedia information. Some of the errors are basic and show he had not fully researched the subject.
*All fourteen of the quotations he uses in his book are in these two Wikipedia pages. He even uses the misquotation of a passage that I misquoted. Bit of a smoking gun that.
*The basic layout of the relevant passages and the phraseology in Felton's book very closely echo the layout and phraseology I used for the Batu Lintang and Tatsuji Suga pages.
I have been researching this camp for eight years, and so know it pretty well by now. I am not claiming 'authorship' in any way. I based the Batu Lintang page I made in 2007 on many different sources, not all of which I cited. Felton publishes information from these uncited sources, yet only cites Ooi Keat Gin, Southwell and Firkins as his sources: he wouldn't be able to cite the other sources as he wouldn't know what they are. I summarised many sources to create the Wikipedia Batu Lintang page; Felton has clearly used the Batu Lintang page and yet quoted the sources I used as his main sources, rather than acknowledging his massive debt to Wikipedia. By not acknowledging Wikipedia, Felton is passing off other people's research and hard work - it took me a bloody long time to put those pages together - as his own.
So Felton 2011 should not be used as a source for the Batu Lintang page or the Tatsuji Suga page, as Felton 2011 is in itself based on and a 'mirror' of these two Wikipedia pages. Jasper33 (talk) 16:33, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of Wikipedia pages as unacknowledged sources by an academic: ''Children of the Camps: Japan's Last Forgotten Victims'' by Dr Mark Felton  

message: This is already a well-researched article on an interesting figure I had no previously heard of. He must have been pretty conflicted between conscience and duty. I assessed it as C-class for lacking references, mostly in the first section on the early part of his life. The "Evaluation" section could also use a couple of references, especially in regard to the information from Quartermaine. Finally, there should be a consistent style with the quotes. The one in the Evaluation section is in italics. All of them should have something that sets them apart from the text besides an indent, either italics or quotation marks. Good luck.

Talk:George F. Johnson

message: I changed a few key phrases to make this article a bit more value-neutral, but it still needs work. 
1) "Endicott-Johnson employees were treated better than most other workers": receiving good benefits is not the same thing as getting treated better all around.
According to the Wikipedia article about Endicott Johnson Corporation, "the work was hard and the pay was low". This article's claim that wages were high goes against what I've been told, but I don't have a good source so I've left it for now.
2) "In grateful appreciation, the residents of Lestershire renamed their community Johnson City, New York in 1916, and the employees of Endicott-Johnson built two arches...": My understanding is that this was a myth encouraged by the Johnson company, which covertly organized the renaming and the various monuments themselves to make it look like a spontaneous demonstration of appreciation.
I would need to collect sources to really clarify these issues, but I think this is a significant improvement for now.

Talk:TSI

message: I removed the following
TSI test is a determinitive test used when dealing with Gram neg. Rods. TSI stands for triple sugar iron, and is in the form of a test tube, with a slant agar. The three sugars used in a TSI test are lactose, glucose and sucrose. The concentrations of these sugars are; lactose 1%, Sucrose 1%, Glucose .1%. The concentration difference is what enables you to differentiate between which saccharide is being digested. Phenyl red is the indicator used in determining carbohydrate fermentation. When a bacteria breaks down the carbohydrate and acid by product is produced, resulting in an increased acidity of the solution. Phenyl red when in a ph of 7 or higher is red, pink at 8 or higher. However when the ph drops below 6.8 phenyl red turns yellow. The TSI tube is read by first looking at the slant to see if lactose was fermented, yellow indicating it was, then second by looking at the butt of the test tube to see if glucose was fermented, once again yellow indicates positive fermentation. Secondary tests involved in the TSI include the formation of gas, little bubbles in the agar, or Hydrogen Sulfide H2S, which is indicated by a black precipitate at the bottom of the tube. As a rule of thumb, if H2S is produced one can always deduce that glucose fermentation has occurred as well, since the black bottom might inhibit you from determining if Glucose was fermented (yellow bottom).
