thread_title:  List order 

message: When Billy Collins was appointed to the position, a group of poets and critics associated with the POETICS list protested by voting for an anti-laureate. Anselm Hollo was elected to this position.
This statement raises more questions than it answers, and IMO should be developed or removed.  Why did this group protest the Collins appointment?  I went to the POETICS list and read their posts, and all I can figure is that they thought Collins was politically conservative (several of the posts referred to Collins as a "Bush II" appointment) or maybe his poetry wasn't sophisticated enough for them. A bit more development would help explain why this event is significant enough to be included (if indeed it is).  Thanks. Easy2Slip (talk) 18:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This was last discussed in 2009 but no action taken.  I also agree this "anti-laureate" issue is not prominent enough to be included in the article.  The organization seems to be limited to The University of Buffalo, and is under review itself for not being notable enough for its own article.  Also, per discussions in the Billy Collins article, it was decided not to include it there either.  Removing it for now. --Bridgecross (talk) 16:04, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lightning Rod 

message: There is a large amount of confusion on Wikipedia as to whether the appointment of Poet Laureate in the United States was created in 1937 for Joseph Auslander or in 1986 when Robert Warren was appointed. All that happened in 1986was that the title of the appointment was changed to include the words "Poet Laureate", whereas before it had just been "Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress". This is very unclear and, for example, leads to doubt as to whether Rita Dove was the first African-American woman to be appoointed (as is claimed) or whether it was Gwendolyn Brooks.Barmispain (talk) 05:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I understand the intention behind this, but we would need to build sufficient consensus to include such hatnotes. Similar discussions have taken place at Talk:Suicide, as I observe you have come across. In any case, I'd argue that we should at least be internally consistent – whatever approach we take there should also be adopted here; currently this consists of a hatnote link to Suicide prevention. I might also note that readers contemplating suicide would probably be more likely to end up at Suicide than here, although that doesn't necessarily mean that we shouldn't add a message here if deemed appropriate, of course. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 23:15, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: @User:Ravenpuff I think we should add a hatnote at suicide ideation and that suicidal people would end up here, although I would not add one without consensus. For example, although I am not suffering from suicide ideation atm I have in the past - and went to here as well as suicide - because I didn't actually want to kill myself and I just wanted my problems to go away. So, I went to the ideation page because I was having suicidal thoughts.

message: It is often repeated that Shore was only the second living photographer to have a solo show at the MOMA (after Steiglitz) with various dates.

Bruce Davidson, for instance, had a shows in 1966 and 1970, and is alive now.

Talk:The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory

message: I just wanted to bring up this point before I delete this bit altogether: "To Dalí, this image was symbolic of the psychological effect that the advent of the atomic bomb had on humanity" is a grossly simplistic and largely innaccurate analysis of Dali's own perception of his work. The painting is instead (in a one-sentence summary) much more concerned with illustrating the power of the new concept of quantum mechanics. See [] for an excellent source of more sohpisticaed analysis which could be used as a re-writing source.
:I'm not sure that's correct. From quotes I have read, Dali seemed to view the nuclear bomb incorrectly, as effecting a "disintegration" of matter, and in this context the blowing apart of the fabric of the painting's elements is appropriately understood. The wording of the sentence you mention is clumsy, but if the 'psychological effect' is taken to mean that on Dali himself rather than humanity at large, it makes some sense. I think it has more to do with the process (and consenquence) of explosion than just theory. MegdalePlace 18:52, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

The "vague" tag has now been stripped. But the meaning is no less obscure.
If it read simply:
:Unlike many other frontier photographers, he retained the original glass plate negatives of his photographs, giving him more control over their use.
then that would be fine: his retention of the negatives gave him more control over them than other photographers had over the negatives that they did not retain. But no, it has a complication that obscures its meaning. (Unless I'm suffering from mild heat stroke, of course.) Just what is the comparison here? -- Hoary (talk) 05:13, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
