thread_title: I'm new to headers

message: The article body and wikisource seem to indicate that the book is named The Pathfinder --OR-- The Inland Sea ... not The Pathfinder, or The Inland Sea.  If that's the case then the article needs to be moved to The Pathfinder (book).  --Hutcher (talk) 04:16, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have a strong opinion on the subject but cautiously oppose moving it. Generally speaking that novel has been published and cited so many times, that you probably can find either of versions The Pathfinder, The Inland Sea, The Pathfinder, or The Inland Sea, The Pathfinder: or The Inland Sea, The Pathfinder or The Inland Sea or The Pathfinder. The Inland Sea can be found if you search long enough. I guess one can see The Pathfinder as the (short) main title and The Inland Sea as a subtitle. All that means while moving the article is not wrong, there is nevertheless no real need to. But probably more importantly scholarly literature (for instance Rans, White's student guide given in the article) seem to use use the long version (The Pathfinder: or The Inland Sea or The Pathfinder, or The Inland Sea) where the "or" is considered part of the title.--Kmhkmh (talk) 16:07, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I to am going to caution against changing it: its fine to include plenty more redirects on the page that focus the reader towards different titles, but the initial publication title was as such, and, as is convention with 19th century works, the "Or" is part of the title, though sometimes gets dropped in the modern publications. The or represents an assessment of the contents of the book and operates as a secondary sales pitch/descriptor. Sadads (talk) 23:42, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Tags

message: I'm not sure about adding "Modern examples," but, before I clip it, let me explain why and get some discussion.  There are parodies going on right up to today, of course, but parody largely takes over from the mock-heroic.  I.e. the mock heroic is a specific form that depends upon another form: the heroic.  For us to have a modern mock-heroic, we'd have to have a modern heroic verse.  We don't generally have new works like Aeneid.
That said, yes, if we can think of contemporary or modern works that take heroical works, it's possible.  Get Smart is a parody of the spy movie, for example, and it is designed to parody the style as well as to be a satire of the spy.  It was a counter-cultural show that was deflating Bond and ridiculing the idea that spies are cool and that the Cold War was worth fighting.  Inspector Gadget is less politically aware, but it's an imitation of Get Smart.
The closest thing I can think of to a modern mock-heroic would be Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?.  Geogre (talk) 08:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Elbridge Trask

message: The reference document lists 74 uses of "Elbridge," married to Hannah, but the BLM Land Grant records show an Eldridge and Hannah Trask in Tillamook County. The BLM online data shows a date of 1873, after the 1863 death of El-bridge/drige but is not indexed to a land patent document nor attached to an image of a document. The Greek letter phi (Φ) might provide a compromise, although the pronunciation would then be closer to Elfridge. Be this as it may, Colonel James Taylor occupied the Trask property and ran cattle for the nearby Methodist outpost, and he thought it was Eldridge. Geirfuglasker (talk) 02:06, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and redirected Eldridge Trask to this article and added an aka, feel free to source the new info. Greek letters would just muddy the issue for the average reader. It's fine to add an aka as I've done here. If he is more commonly known as Eldridge (I've seen many such mistakes in early settler names, due to various factors), let me know if you need help moving the article. Valfontis (talk) 22:57, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  San Francisco? 

message: From a response to a question about Bloch's involvement in vaudeville comes this anecdote about Holtz:
:According to his autobiography, Once Around the Bloch: An Unauthorized Autobiography, he appeared once on an "amateur night" in Milwaukee in order to get the attention of a pro playing in town, to whom he was trying to sell some material. As a result of that appearance, he got a few gigs as what we would now call a stand-up comedian, purely locally "at the kind of bar that advertised 'Entertainment Nightly'"; his agent got half of his $10 fee, and he didn't pursue this line of work for long. He also sold a few jokes to performers (local and national); and tried (unsuccessfully) to persuade vaudeville veteran Lou Holtz that there was more market for an autobiography of his colorful career than for a "novel" based on his Jewish dialect material about "Sam Lapidus" (which was already on the path to 'no-longer-acceptable'). That was about the extent of his "vaudeville" career. --Orange Mike 17:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: i feel this topic is worthy of discussion.
too few medical students/practitioners understand how sir sherrington was a legend.
i mean, his student made penicillin ffs. 
sir sherrington was so focused on the mind body problem that he had to deposit his knowledge in Man on His Nature, given that there were not sufficient technologies to test his hypotheses.
this may go unanswered but i honestly think it's hard to beat sir charles sherrington as the greatest doctor in commonwealth history (the quality of scholars that originated from his students, like hodgkin & huxley, prove it).

thread_title:  argument for greatest physician since Fernel, Galen & Hippocrates 

message: The assertion that Sherrington was the son of Caleb Rose and Anne Sherrington is supported by what appears to be an extensive piece of original research. It's certainly plausible, as it is clear her husband died in 1848, but other explanations are possible. e.g. there is a Charles Scott recorded as born in Bengal 19 Apr 1856, chr 29 Apr 1857, the son of Charles and Thomasia Scott, so meeting the criterion of being born in India as stated in the 1861 census. It is quite possible that he was sent back to England and after boarding with Anne Sherrington, was eventually adopted by her and took her name. There is no indication of the (Sherrington) surname in the 1861 census (which would be indicated by 'do'). By the 1871 census Caleb Rose was head of household and Charlie Sherrington's India past had been forgotten. Chris55 (talk) 18:14, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
