message: The article says that he was imprisoned when he was in Gottingen for two weeks for "anti-Nazi political activity". This is as per the source and I expect that whatever political activity he was involved with was anti-Nazi, but in 1930-31, the Nazi's were not yet in power, so it is probable that this imprisonment was for political activity, for street fighting against Nazi groups or some similar event rather than because it was specifically Anti-Nazi; such an offence not yet existing. Helena Sheehan's Marxism and the Philosophy of Science is more cautious on this, just saying he "witnessed the rise of fascism" and "spent a fortnight in prison".

message: The citation of the Avery work is a huge misrepresentation. In fact, Avery goes out of her way to point out that while David's friend Charles Jensen was almost undoubtedly homosexual, it is obvious from their correspondence that David was not. That they had a close friendship that Charles wished could be more, but that David repeatedly danced around the topic and actively encouraged his friend to practice heterosexuality. This section should be removed from the article or use a proper citation.

Talk:Elie, Manitoba

message: I've decided that the tornado warrants a separate article of its own, and so created a new one - see Elie, Manitoba Tornado. It is a significant in the sense that it was the first officially designated F5 tornado in Canada (keep in mind that there also separate articles for other Canadian tornadoes here in Wikipedia). A separate article also might be easier to find for users searching for information on this tornado in Wikipedia. The information on the tornado, however, is very good and thus remains mostly intact in the new article with some modifications. NorthernFire 22:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree since F5 tornadoes are a separate class in themselves and should always be given articles regardless of the circumstances IMO.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The current proof is false as it is. It probably needs just a few modifications to become valid.
The problem comes from the existence of \Delta=(a,b): it needs to be an open interval containing A and which measure is less than twice the measure of A (since \alpha >1/2). But such an interval cannot exist if the convex hull of A has a measure bigger than twice the measure of A (for instance if A is made of two sets far apart from each other).

You don't add a source and nobody can know if what you are saying is correct or not.  You shouldn't be so judgmental though -consider that perhaps the biography is not well known, or has not been widely read by the people who have edited this article.   It's not common knowledge simply because you've read this book.   Take a gentler approach in enlightening people, and don't be so quick to shout 'homophobe'. Rossrs (talk) 00:21, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

text: I have in my possession a letter handwritten and signed by David Manners and addressed to fellow author Edwin Corle in which David discusses one of his earliest crushes, on a young man who joined the Canadian army.  The letter, written on Yucca Loma Ranch stationery (a guest ranch which David co-owned) was tucked inside a copy of David's novel, "Under Running Laughter", which had been inscribed to Mr. Corle, and which I purchased through a rare book dealer.  It is hardly a secret that David's life partner was William ("Bill") Mercer.  David documents their meeting in the 1978 second edition of his autobiographical spiritual discussion, "Look Through" (Seed Center, 1978 - the first edition was published in 1971), and the couple were still living together at the time of Mr. Mercer's death over 40 years later, according to statements made by David to author and interviewer Rick McKay which were published in "Scarlet Street" magazine in 1997 and 1999.  Since David himself was open (albeit discreet) about his sexual and affectional orientation, it seems odd that anyone else would still have questions on the topic.

File talk:Mabuse St Luke.jpg

message: "Mabuse appears to have chiefly studied in Italy the cold and polished works of the Leonardesques. He not only brought home a new style, but he also introduced the fashion of travelling to Italy; and from that time till the age of Rubens and Van Dyck it was considered proper that all Flemish painters should visit the peninsula. The Flemings grafted Italian mannerisms on their own stock, and the cross turned out so unfortunately that for a century Flemish art lost all trace of originality.[3]"

Talk:Grand Beach Provincial Park

message: I believe this is an uncontroversial proposal, but am prepared to be corrected.  Grand Beach (Manitoba) can refer to the geographical feature of the beach itself, or the townsite of cottages as marked on the provincial map, both of which are within the boundaries of Grand Beach Provincial Park.  As such the articles will duplicate the same geography, history, demographics and features.  The 2011 Census designates Grand Marais/Grand Beach as an Unincorporated Urban Centre, but this hardly seems helpful as an article title.

Talk:David Viscott

message: First off, User:DoTheRightThing, do not refer to an edit as vandalism if it is not vandalism. Requesting a citation for an uncited statement is not vandalism, and it is a violation of both WP:CIV and WP:NPA to label it as such. Please don't do that again.
Secondly, I stand by my request for a citation for the following sentence:
:Viscott's style of counseling was hard-hitting yet compassionate, and he often isolated an individual's source of emotional problems in a very short amount of time.
I am sorry, but I absolutely do not believe (without citation) that the host of a call-in show can diagnose a person's emotional issues over the phone, let alone compassionately and "in a very short amount of time." You are going to have to back this one up with a citation. If some people say this about Viscott, that is okay, but then you will have to be clear about who is saying that.
As it stands now, I do not accept the sentence without citation. Your inappropriate labeling of my edit as "vandalism" has rather reduced my patience, and if the sentence is not cited within a couple of days I am inclined to remove it altogether, as per WP:NPOV. Thanks for your attention. --Jaysweet (talk) 16:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was an avid watcher of Viscott's TV show "Getting in Touch" and I can attest to his uncanny ability to very quickly get to the source of his subject's problems. Almost suspiciously so: as if they'd had a long session prior to the actual taping. In any case, it was Viscott's "signature move" and the sentence that you are objecting to, while admittedly without citation, is nevertheless appropriate in, and central to, this article.--Petzl (talk) 10:04, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
