Talk:Hargrave Jennings

message: In 1994, when i first published my theory that Hargrave Jennings was the author of the "Nature Worship and Mystical Series," i was the sole promoter of this theory, and i worked hard to make my case, especially as it contradicted the bibliographical notes of Gershon Legman, an expert in the field. To my surprise, with the passage of time, no contentions have been published against the logic of my case, and, even more gratifyingly, institutions such as Google Books now routinely attribute the authorship of these titles to Hargrave Jennings, as if it had always been so. 
One reason for this is that today's scholars tend to take the word of Wikipedia as fact -- and in Wikipedia, my theory is given free and unopposed expression. 
However, it should be noted that the author of the Wikipedia article attributing these works to Hargrave Jennings, was ... none other than myself. 
Now, at one time there was a link from the Wikipedia Hargrave Jennings article back to my bibliographical web page, as the source of the attributions, but a rather angry editor removed the link, saying that my web site was not a "reliable source" according to Wikipedia standards. Thus Wikipedia divested itself of the source for the information that i had contributed to it, considering the information itself "reliable" but my page of bibliographical research "unreliable." 
Wikipedia is a nightmare of its own making, and i don't wish to beat that dead horse, but speaking as a researcher, i expect to be acknowledged for the work i have done, as as long as Wikipedia lists Hargrave Jennings as the author of the books for which i have listed him as the author, i will work for the reinstatement of the external link to my bibliographical web page. 
Wikipedia cannot have it both ways. Either my site is "reliable" and the Wikipedia article should acknowledge it, or the information comes from an "unreliable" source and must be entirely deleted from Wikipedia.

message: The fluoroscope is a first hand eyewitness account. (myself).  If you don't believe me, perhaps you should try talking to residents in the town?  Yes, it seems incredible that such a device was still in use then, given 20+ years of serious doubts over their use, however, it should be borne in mind that Sawbridgeworth's location, rural yet close to London, in Hertfordshire and yet pushed up against the Essex border, full of a mixture of long standing residents and commuters, means that it often gets overlooked by bureaucracy.  Schemes/fashions/trends that start in the cities take time to penetrate there; Hertfordshire CC often overlooks it; the long standing residents often ignore things that newcomers would respond in horror to (e.g.fluorscopes), but do most of their shopping elsewhere.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.106.13 (talk) 23:51, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

message: 1. My dear Russian and Chinese friends, I have taken the liberty of correcting the English language in this article as to grammar, style and usage. 
2. As a general rule of style in English, when using a number smaller than 10, it should be spelled out, i.e., 7 is spelled out as 'seven'. Also, when first introducing an Acronym, spell it out at first usage, then you can use the abbreviation thereafter, i.e. 'Wounded in Action' (WIA), then use WIA thereafter. Also there was a switch from 'Soviet' to 'Russian' several times. If we are talking about the Soviet Union in 1969, we should use Soviet and not Russian. Russia and the Soviet Union were two distinct political entities. Secondly if we are going to use PRC it can be confusing to jump around and use 'China', 'Chinese' when we can use PRC, although most international readers in English are more likely to recognize China, Chinese than 'PRC'.
3. There is a discussion of 'forces' but is it Chinese/Soviet Army? Marines? The article requires many citations as it contains many assertions that must be referenced to existing books, papers, etc. That should solve your NPOV concerns although maybe it might be best to have someone from a neutral country edit this article.
Highest Regards to All...

message: What specifically needs to be cited on this page? Just about everything written is factual, not opinion-based information, and therefore does not need specific references. Stewaral (talk) 04:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Facts need verifiability sources. How will readers know that what they are reading are facts? There needs to be references added. Not everyone knows that Laconia High first opened in the fall of 1875 or that its original campus was on Academy Street. Members of the school may know this is true, but there needs to be references to back it up. Things like "grades 9-12" obviously don't require references, because those can be assumed. Also, you should never remove template messages that were added by other users unless it's obvious that you've cleared issue. Let me know if you have any other questions.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: The reason for not removing Hán tự (Sino-Vietnamese characters) from articles such as this is that that writing system, though originating in China, was in fact used by the Vietnamese people (along with Chữ Nôm, a special script developed by Vietnamese people to write Vietnamese literature) for well over one thousand years to record their own history and official documents, as well as to name their kings, places, and important books. It also allows one to easily find the meaning behind a person's or place name. They are used judiciously for this purpose in articles relating to the history of Vietnam. Wikipedia is a place where subjects should be treated thoroughly, and leaving out clarifying characters where they are appropriate (as has been explained to the editor repeatedly removing the characters no fewer than three previous times), solely because of anti-Chinese POV, does not help our readers in their pursuit of a complete treatment of these subjects. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, but the continued blanking, as seen today (February 11, 2008) is not helpful.
An examination of the comparable articles at the Vietnamese Wikipedia, which are on the whole very well written and comprehensive, shows that they do include these characters, for the same reasons outlined above. 
Note: the editor referred to such Sino-Vietnamese characters as "ugly" and "dirty" in this edit.

Nanofiction was defined over a year before the publication of Nobilis, by Steve Moss, editor of the book The World's Shortest Stories. It has very specific rules, and has been promoted within the game world by Andrew Looney of Looney Labs, with his use of nanofiction in his game Chrononauts, and his game Nanofictionary.

Bergstrom calls it nanofiction now, but did not coin the term, and the term was used elsewhere on the net before someone on the Nobilis list used it to refer to the small snippets of text.
I post this mostly to give notice that I would like to completely rewrite the page, unless someone can give me better citations of proof that Bergstrom created it and coined the term.--Thespian 00:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
