thread_title: Hayakawa did not run for reelection?

message: This article had included, as a matter of fact, that S. I. Hayakawa was senile.  Any such fantastic charges should be removed, until authenticated.  Snide jokes, based on Sen. Hayakawa's advanced age and tendency to fall asleep, should not be treated as factual. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.88.233.70 (talk) 19:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now requested a source to verify this claim. Since this is not a living person and I don't agree with the above user that such a claim is "fantastic", nor have I seen any information which casts doubt on the claim, I don't find it prudent to remove this yet. __meco 15:37, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: This sentence needs to be explained:
:"It is currently in its fifth edition and has greatly helped popularize Alfred Korzybski's general semantics and semantics in general, while semantics or theory of meaning was overwhelmed by mysticism, propagandism and even scientism." 
Does this mean that Korzybski's (and hence Hayakawa's) view of semantics that is overwhelmed by mysticism, propagandism and scientism? Is there something in contrast to Korzybski's "general semantics" that instead is overwhelmed by mysticism, etc.? If Korzybski's view is free of mysticism and scientism, what is the other thing that isn't. What is Korzybski's view how is it not full of scientism or mysticism? This doesn't tell me much about Hayakawa other than he promoted somebody's views of semantics.
"General semantics" has a specific meaning. "Semantics in general" seems like a very broad area. Isn't this other thing that is overwhelmed by mysticism, etc., part of semantics in general? Furthermore, in the next phrase it says semantics and theory of semantics. Aren't semantics in general and semantics the same, or at least widely overlapping? Isn't this other thing that is overwhelmed by mysticism, etc., part of semantics in general?
In other words, do you mean that Hayakawa "helped popularize Korzybski's view of general semantics and semantics in general, rather than the existing theory of meaning, which had been overwhelmed with mysticism, propagandism, and even scientism."  
Can something be overwhelmed by both mysticism and scientism at the same time? They would seem to be opposing beliefs. Do you mean that the theory of meaning had been in some instances overwhelmed by mysticism and in others by scientism? Ileanadu (talk) 00:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm changing that to "1976 Elected United States Senator from California" to establish immediately it was the United States Senate.

message: "He was the nephew-in-law of Joseph Stalin in that his wife Margedant's brother William Wesley Peters was married to Stalin's daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva."
for the life of me i can't follow this reasoning…Stalin's nephew-in-law could be his niece's husband or his wife's nephew…but neither applies here…what am i missing?… 73.100.239.167 (talk) 17:56, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
