Talk:Brian Reynolds Myers

message: The B. R. Myers entry has been rewritten. The earlier one was not encyclopedic, lacked citations, and was heavily promotional. (Why list Myers’ Master’s thesis?) The “Selected works” list has been replaced with a “Published books” section. The new entry is descriptive, sourced, and with no superfluous information. -- Dashimalhae (talk) 04:26, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Sadly, however, the re-write got rid of the word "polyglot." A very sad day for Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.220.193.142 (talk) 21:46, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Entry Revised

message: The successive revisions have removed nearly all discussion of Myers' Reader's Manifesto, the work on which the bulk of his public reputation rests (and evidently considered significant enough to maintain its own very lengthy entry on Wikipedia).  Absent discussion of this work, the entry is simply a long biographical essay on an occasional essayist and middle-ranking academic at a relatively obscure university.76.15.239.151 (talk) 08:18, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think the article (as of this writing) is aiming for balance. Your description of Myers, though, sounds very interesting -- "an occasional essayist and middle-ranking academic at a relatively obscure university." 123clock (talk) 08:01, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I guess not.--Jack Upland (talk) 05:15, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Just googled it. There is a ca. 2011 photo of him with a North Korean guide in front of the USS Pueblo. 123clock (talk) 08:11, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

text: Hi. Yeah, it looks like Myers does not have much firsthand experience there at all. He seems to be mostly a talker. Re: Cha, he visited North Korea when he was working for the G. W. Bush administration. 123clock (talk) 09:03, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I looked at Cha's book, The Impossible State once, and I thought it said he'd never been there.--Jack Upland (talk) 04:24, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Why do we even mention a blogpost which retracts a review of Armstrong's book (which Myers recommended by the way)? He was not the first to expose the problems with the book. How is this notable?--Jack Upland (talk) 18:57, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tyranny of the Weak 

message: Hi, after reading thru Myers' site recently I noticed he mentioned he is now a full professor rather than an associate professor and has been for some time. Sure enough, there are plenty of sources referring to him as 교수 (professor) rather than 부교수 (associate professor).http://m.chosun.com/svc/article.html?sname=news&contid=2016102301722 to just pick one random example from a large national SK newspaper. I am unsure but suspect a direct link to a professor's page at the university in question may be required to reference something of this nature, if that is the case I'll make no change to the article until I find such a thing (the 동서대학교 site is horrible to navigate on my phone, in a second language). If/when I come back here I'll be sure to login and all that. best, 223.62.11.211 (talk) 05:55, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Ideally, we would like indeed to have a link to the university webpage since the media have a tendency of not understanding the difference between full and associate professor. However, if this is difficult, I think a reference to the media would work. Thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:57, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
