Talk:Martin Sheridan

message: The origin of this frequently seen quotation has been analysed by Bill Mallon and Ian Buchanan in the Journal of Olympic History September 1999, p21. Finding the first reference to the tradition or the quotation in 1952, they conclude, "As to Martin Sheridan’s famous remark, if he said it, he must have done so very privately." I will modify the text to reflect this. Op. Deo (talk) 17:33, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Fred Krupp

message: Hello, I am an employee of EDF, and I have some edits I was hoping to get made to Fred's page.
At the paragraph that ends with the Kyoto Protocol: 
He has overseen it’s growth from a small nonprofit with a budget of $3 million to one of the world’s most influential environmental organizations   , with more than 675 employees in the United States, China, Mexico, and Europe and an annual budget of more than $200 million .
After the paragraphs on compensation:
Krupp also has been a special advisor to top government leaders. In 2010, he was invited by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus to serve on the secretary’s advisory panel, counseling Mabus on coastal restoration following the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and helping introduce new clean energy technologies to the Navy . In 2011, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu appointed Krupp to the seven-member panel charged with recommending measures to reduce the environmental impact and improve the safety of shale gas production .
Next paragraph edits to correct currency and addition of other boards he now serves on: 
He also serves on the Cornell Atkinson Advisory Council and on the Advisory Board for the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment . He has served on the board of the H. John Heinz III Center for Science, Economics and the Environment, the John F. Kennedy School of Government Environment Council, the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions, and the Leadership Council of the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies and the. He has served on the President's Advisory Committee on Trade Policy and Negotiations for Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
After paragraph ending with highlighting technology that aims to fight global warming.: 
In 2018 he appeared on the TED stage to announce plans to launch MethaneSAT, an EDF satellite that will measure and map planet-warming methane emissions from the oil and gas industry worldwide . He has successfully focused international attention on these emissions, driving adoption of state and national protections as well as methane reduction commitments from some of the world’s largest oil and gas companies  .
Please let me know if there are any additional follow-ups or citations needed for anything here. Thanks!

Talk:Fred L. Smith (political writer)

message: I have significantly increased the content of this page. In fact, it is now over 100% larger than before my edits, so I am a significant contributor to this page. I am now the top contributor to this page, as far as volume. I am not willing to say whether or not I have any connection or not to Fred L. Smith, Jr., but given my username, and given the guidelines on the talk pages (here and here) of the  and  template tags, it seems required that this page now be tagged with these templates.
Please do not remove these tags until my contributions to this page have been rendered insignificant (probably less than 10% by volume), or until policy changes on the COI tags. Fredsmith2 00:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Alex Klein

message: Is this the same Alex Klein who has become noted for spreading the most bizarre conspiracy theories and Russian propaganda? The name is quite common, but the conspiracy theorist Alex Klein has a link to a webpage of the oboe player Alex Klein. Not sure if they are the same, or if the conspiracy theorist uses the oboist for some sense of credibility for the propaganda. If they indeed are the same, that would seem somewhat notable. Jeppiz (talk) 19:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe my Google account is very tame or something but I had to dig really hard to figure out what you were talking about ... here it is on X (formerly Twitter). Honestly I had to dig way harder than I did to make my recent edit to the article. It seems dramatically out-of-character to me; I found this perfectly normal interview with the oboist (in mainstream media!) from as recently as last year. I'm here because of my long-standing interest in sound files from Pandora Records (his are featured on his article). Graham87 (talk) 09:54, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: This was him on Twitter in 2014 ... seems like the oboist, complete with tweets in Portuguese and one that I found about classical music, though I have no idea why the Wayback Machine displays Twitter's interface in German. Either he really has radicalised or his account's been taken over. Are there any reliable sources about the conspiracy theorist? Graham87 (talk) 10:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: This August 2016 snapshot from the Wayback Machine shows that he hadn't been publicly active on Twitter since June 2013 and the Wayback Machine doesn't have any more recent snapshots of that account's Twitter profile until ten years later, when the account was well in to extreme pro-Russia mode and Musk and co. had well and truly taken over Twitter/X.

Talk:Irene D. Long

message: Some sources list Irene Long's birth year as 1951. However, in 1994, she was quoted as saying "I was nine years old," she recalled. "it was 1959, and I was watching a show on television called 'Man and the Challenge.' It was about getting ready for human spaceflight. (Kennedy Space Center News Release No. 87-94) If she was 9 in 1959, then she had to have been born in 1950 (or 1949).  The program Man and the Challenge ran for 36 episodes from Fall 1959 to Spring 1960. --Bejnar (talk) 17:57, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:List of commandants of the Illinois Country

message: I love this list.  Thanks.  I refer to it a lot.  This list is going to have be adjusted.  Here's some thoughts.
Illinois Country should be used to define Upper Louisiana during the age of Louisiana (New France).
The French ceded the left (east) bank of the Mississippi in 1662 to the English while the right (west) bank went to Spain.  I'm working on an article on Louisiana (New Spain) so the Spanish stuff would go there.
I'm not as familiar with how the British governed their side in Illinois.

thread_title:  Notability

message: From my recollection, the Horizon experiment was not an attempt to reproduce Ennis's experiment, but to test results found by Jacques Benveniste. The Horizon program mixed interviews with different researchers on this, but Ennis' experiements were never reproduced. I think the entire Horizon-program section should be removed.
--Otheus 14:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I rolled the article back to the 2.July 07 version. Otheus, your recollection is incorrect. BBC Horizon did indeed attempt to reproduce Ennis's experiment. This is easily verified by reading the transcripts. Ennis's tested an ultradilute solution of Histamine, Benveniste's experiment involved an ultradilute solution of human antibody. --Revaaron 20:00, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Shouldn't the reference link be to the BBC transcript then, and not to the BBC main article?  I read the BBC article several times and came to the same conclusion as Otheus.  But you're right; the BBC transcript goes into greater detail and agrees with the wiki.  I'll go ahead and change the link. -- Garrett  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.197.177.13 (talk) 19:53, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Fredrik Olsen

message: I've removed the mention of the rumored inspiration of The Simpsons character Mr Burns. I'm aware that this rumor is widespread but I searched extensively and couldn't find a good source for the information. The previously linked source:
http://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/2001/04/10/252166.html
Is not a primary source and is little more than a restatement of the rumored factoid. The only other sources I could find were drivel like this:
http://www.thefreelibrary.com/I+was+Monty's+double%3B+EXCLUSIVE+Ship+magnate+inspired+Simpsons'+toon...-a0149722532
an article from the UK's Sunday Mail which quotes an unnamed Norwegian magazine and yet calls the information an "EXCLUSIVE". It looks like nonsense. Further supporting the claims of nonsense, this an other articles I found that list Olsen as inspiration mention the Dundee Timex factory disputes as inspiration to Groening – but these occurred in 1993, well after the Burns character was already established.

Talk:Fumiko Kometani

message: This article states that the New York Times described the book as anti-Semitic but there is no citation.
I have searched the NYtimes archives and find only letters to the editor calling the book anti-Semitic, not anything by Times writers. In the Times' review of the English language translation, the reviewer acknowledges that reading of the book and dismisses it.
Two letters to the Times calling the book anti-Semitic:
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/03/25/opinion/l-reason-for-concern-in-japanese-anti-semitism-814787.html
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/04/opinion/l-a-painful-story-of-japanese-jewish-marriage-812087.html
Kometani's response to the letters:
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/04/13/opinion/l-trials-of-a-japanese-ruth-amid-the-alien-corn-031987.html
The Times' review of the story, Passover:
http://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/22/books/no-one-is-nice-here.html
Lastly, one of the letters references a Times article on "Japanese anti-Semitism." The article, below, does not mention Kometani.
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/03/12/world/japanese-writers-critical-of-jews.html
