Talk:The Snowy Day

message: I intend to edit this Wikipedia article because I believe it is missing key content on The Snowy Day and could be reorganized. Additionally many of the claims in this article are uncited. First, I hope to expand the lead section because it is currently only three sentences and does not follow Wikipedia's guidelines of a clear lead section that outlines the rest of the article. I next wanted to add content to the "About the Author" section because it is missing key biographical information on Keats and his writing career. I also want to add content to the "History of the Snowy Day" section because it is missing how Keats got his inspiration for the book, information that is readily available from various published sources. After, I thought I would add an "Illustrations" section and an "Analysis" section because I was surprised the article contained no photos of the book's illustrations and scant information on them, as well as hardly any information on the book topic's notability as representing an African-American boy in the 1960s. I think it is also important to add a "Reception" section because the article is missing the public's reception of the book at the time it was published. I believe that adding these changes will allow the article to have a clearer structure and contain more important information on the book. I also found various sources from scholarly journals, newspapers, and magazines published both from the present day and also from the 1960s when the book was published which is in line with Wikipedia's guidelines of using reliable sources. I also hope to use some of these sources to substantiate some of the existing claims that are missing citations in the article. I invite you to look at my bibliography that I have so far https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jis39/The_Snowy_Day/Bibliography Jis39 (talk) 14:25, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:The Soldier and the State

message: in his book samuel huntington argues to make a distinction between the role and the nature of the military (eg. army). that is the military has its own special nature which is not always corresponding to the role the military plays in a given state. he says there is a true form of military, which is defined by professionalism, its first historical example being the army of Prussia.
he says that a military is/has to be/ a profesional force led by commanders that are trained in the military sciences and are appointed from within the ranks, as opposed to pre-napoleonian and pre-prussian aristocratic build-ups. then he progresses to show, how such a "true" military is superior compared to other types. he defines a "military mindset" as being pessimistic, eg: a belief in inevitability of armed conflicts, hence a need to have a strong military force and a conservativeness, eg: the urge to put up as much preparations and amass as much force-contributing factors as possible, for the consequences of losing are so high, that according to huntington, the military mind-set never thinks it has made enough preparations to ensure victory in an armed conflict - hence a certain kind of "pacifism": evade the onset of an armed conflict as long as there seems to be a chance to achieve a better ballance of forces - to prepare and equip one's own army better for the fight (which ultimately is inevitable since human nature is destined so that it ends up in use of force/ a violent conflict sooner or later).
Huntington also cites some examples of how warmondgering "can never be attributed to real professioanal military men - but instead to either politicians, or military leaders who werent typically trained and raised in a military education system and environment, but are rather outsiders to the system of the military".
as for the idea of civil control - if my memories are reliable -  huntington says the military must be subject to the elected political leadership of the state, both in what resources it can have and in what goals it has to achieve, while at the same time the military must be left to decide in its own ranks how those resources are used to achieve the goals defined by the civilian body of control.  
as to the importance of the book it clearly stems from its authors later notoriety for the "clash of civilizations".
what i really miss from the article, is an analysis/criticism, or at least an influences- section.

Talk:The Star (Clarke short story)

message: I've deleted the sentence
: The story was also published as "Star of Bethlehem". 
which was flagged "Citation needed" in May 2009.
I can find no evidence of publication under this title. The sentence may be based on a careless reading of this passage by Martin Gardner:
:One of the most popular and longest lasting of natural explanations of the Star was put forth by Kepler. He suggested in a 1606 tract that the Star was actually a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn that occurred in 7 B.C. in the constellation of Pisces the Fish. 
:...
:There are other objections to Kepler’s guess. A much closer meeting of the same two planets occurred in 66 B.C. As Arthur C. Clarke says in his entertaining essay “The Star of Bethlehem” (Chapter 4 in his collection of essays Report on Planet Three, 1972), this event “should have brought a delegation of wise men to Bethlehem sixty years too soon!”
And though Clarke originally called the essay "The Star of Bethlehem", it appears in Report on Planet Three as "The Star of the Magi".

Talk:The Stoker

message: Speaking as a naif the article summarises the story as so: There's this stoker about to get fired, Karl defends him, in the process of defending him Karl runs into his Senator Uncle, they depart the boat, Karl looks at the stoker through the window with sympathy then wonders "if, to him, his uncle could ever replace him".
I'm sorry, what!? I just kept reading it over and eventually figured it was Karl wondering if his Senator Uncle could do something like replace the German stoker with a Romanian out of ethnic prejudice. This seems about to be the only reasonable way to interpret it, now I'm just marveling at how poor a job it does in this regard. Like, especially that totally unambiguous "to him" that does nothing to help the reader. 49.199.101.80 (talk) 17:35, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

message: Hey folks,
Just added some new info to HJ Good's page, including some biographical info, a link to his Attestation Paper, and the actual Victoria Cross Citation from The London Gazette.
I've noted the talk on this page about the VC's location, and would agree it should not be indicated until verified, just as the "talk" about Mr. Good being an alcoholic can't be properly verified/validated.
Mind you, after a little snooping, I did find an article on DND'd site informing us of the medal's whereabouts. Yes, it is dated '06, but wouldn't a simple phone call to the Legion office clear this all up?
It's also quite possible the medal in the cousin's hands (or whoever it - the relative - is) is a copy.
I've done enough research on Canada's VC's and the gallantry medals to know some of this stuff...I do work for Veterans Affairs Canada after all :)

Talk:The Surgeon of Crowthorne

message: The substance of the following  may or may not belong in the article, but if it does, (even if an argument could be made under fair use the way to put it there is via paraprase. If you can explain why it adds encyclopedically to the article, you are a good candidate for doing the paraphrasing.
:"…Trench presented an idea [in 1857], an idea that — to those ranks of conservative and frock-coated men who sat silently in the library on that dank and foggy evening — was potentially dangerous and revolutionary. But it was the idea in the end that made the whole venture possible.
:The undertaking of the scheme [the OED], he said, was beyond the ability of any one man. To peruse all of English literature — and to comb the London and New York newspapers and the most literate of the magazines and journals — must be instead "the combined action of many". It would be necessary to recruit a team — moreover, a huge one — probably comprising hundreds and hundreds of unpaid amateurs, all of them working as volunteers.
:The audience murmured with surprise. Such an idea, obvious though it may sound today, had never been put forward before. But then, some members said as the meeting was breaking up, it did have some real merit. It had a rough, rather democratic appeal. It was an idea consonant with Trench's underlying thought, that any grand new dictionary ought to be itself a democratic product, a book that demonstrated the primacy of individual freedoms, of the notion that one could use words freely, as one liked, without hard and fast rules of lexical conduct."
