Talk:Constantine Samuel Rafinesque

message: I can provide you with at least 166 names of plants relating to descriptions by Rafinesque. They are mainly cacti and succulents as they have my fancy. GerardM 18:12, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your offer. But wouldn't this be a bit too exhaustive ? Rafinesque named more than a thousand species, many of them now considered invalid. Maybe this is a good idea for starting a new article : Species named by Rafinesque. When you look in ITIS you will find lots of them. On the other hand, wouldn't you consider contributing to the WikiProject:Gastropods ? I could use some help, especially from someone with wide interests.  JoJan 18:24, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

message: It is true that Rafinesque may have occasionally used the name Rafinesque-Schmaltz, but this is not correct in a reference of this type.  His name should be Rafinesque, and that is the name he used in virtually all of his publications. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Avihathor (talk • contribs).
:The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

thread_title: Survey

message: A number of Rafinesque’s books and pamphlets are available, online, in facsimile for free. It would be of benefit to readers if these are listed in the Rafinesque entry, but I find that none of the URLs associated with them will open the document when pasted into another site. In each case it is necessary to click through a number of Web pages to reach the document.
I do not know how to mount this information and will be grateful if someone who does will enter it.

replies: text: Hi C.Boewe, a useful bibliography. Since these works are presumably Public Domain, one approach would be to add their text to the Wikisource sister project, which is set up to hold original free texts. At least the most significant ones could be placed there. Then it is quite easy to link to them from wikipedia via one of the  templates.  Wikisource works quite like wikipedia, one could easily create an account there and create the pages for the entries. I haven't checked the links you've given, but if they are in copyable text format then the job would be quite easy; if they are actual scans of pamphlets then the job would of course be more difficult.--cjllw | TALK 07:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

text: As Rafinesque's bibliographer (and biographer) I can assure that all the titles listed above are public domain, and I will be happy to see the texts included in Wikisource.C.Boewe 15:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Rafinesque's original works

message: Much of this article is nonsense because largely based on secondary articles which, in turn, mostly repeat the "traditional" beliefs about the man. I do not have the time or energy to make all the corrections needed here, but my recent Rafinesque biography (published by the American Philosophical Society in 2011) gives a true account of this interesting person and comes accompanied by a CD containing transcripts of more than 2,000 pages of his correspondence on which the narrative of the book, along with the subject's own brief autobiography, is based. Moreover, this text also identifies--citing chapter and verse--the origins of the principal myths about Rafinesque. C.Boewe (talk) 03:27, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes. There are more sources, perhaps entirely about the fish. A good way to find them is to search for Rafinesque and "violin". Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:02, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mycologist 

message: Rafinesque was a contributor to the New Harmony Gazette, of Robert Owen's utopian community in Indiana, for which he wrote about his financial innovation, a new system of banking he called the "Divitial Invention," which he patented in 1825. New Harmony did not use it, but The Divitial Institution of North America and Six-Percent Savings Bank opened in Philadelphia in 1835. (Observed in Erik Reece's book, Utopia Drive, pp. 107-108.)
