Talk:Dorothy Tangney

message: Her citation that appears on It's an Honour reads: "Services to the Western Australia [sic] Parliament".
I think this is an error, since she was never a member of that parliament afaik.  The honour may have been awarded on the recommendation of the Western Australian government, but it still would have been for services to the Australian Parliament.

thread_title:  physis 

message: I don't believe Thoreau specifically mentions "physis" in Walden.  At least I can't find the reference.  While I agree that the concepts referenced in Spring could be understood in terms of physis, I think the current way in which it is stated is misleading.  If there is a secondary source which confirms the reading, it needs to be posted.  If not, I think that the statement qualifies as original research.  76.184.224.225 (talk) 07:59, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Thoreau allusion 

message: The middle of the "Philosophical Use …" para -- "This is the basis of today's classic biological debate" through "The Greeks would refer to law, order, and rationalism as "nomos"." needs a source. The remainder of the para -- starting with "Women in general …" -- is poorly sourced. A google search for "nomos physis Phaedra OR Medea OR maenads" yields Kosak's Heroic Measures as the first hit. FN 76 there indicates "The nomos-physis debate turns up in just about every genre of Greek literature in the fifth century, including the Hippocratic Corpus (most obviously in Airs, Waters, Places, cf. esp. 14 and 24). For scholarly discussion, see Heinemann 1945 [Nomos und Physis] and Kerfred 1981 [The Sophistic Movement] Ch. 10." humanengr (talk) 06:09, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations in Classical Usage section 

message: My concordance (Clinton Morrison 1979) says the word used in Romans 1:26 and 1:27 is physikos not physis. The verse number for the quote also seems to be 1:27 not 1:26.
Could the statement in the article be checked and if necessary corrected by someone with a real knowledge of NT Greek? (I tried to check myself in a Greek Testament, but the words physis and physikos are too similar for my extremely limited knowledge of the inflexions.  There do not seem to be any notes on manuscript differences belonging to these verses, however).
This may sound pedantic, but the meaning of the verse is theologically significant; it is not one of those things where incorrect information on it has no real life consequences! FloweringOctopus (talk) 08:45, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Has Doug Ford died?

message: It has been claimed by some that as a youth Ford was a championship swimmer, and in 1954, at the age of 16, attempted to cross Lake Ontario in the same CNE Marathon swim which was completed by Marilyn Bell. However, Ford was born in the winter of 1933, making him 21 years old, not 16 years old, in the summer of 1954, when Marilyn Bell made her record-setting swim, and there is no record of Ford participating in that swim, regardless of his true age at the time. As recently as January 2014, an interview of Marilyn Di Lascio (nee Bell) in a local newspaper indicated (as have many other accounts) that the swim was attempted (successfully in Marilyn Bell's case) by three women. 
* I queried the Toronto Star public archives (as have others) and could find no mention of Doug Ford attempting a Lake Ontario crossing. Bell in an interview does not mention Ford either. Until this matter is resolved, let's keep this off the main article page. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 19:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Arsen Kotsoyev

message: According to the German Wikipedia Kotsoyev was awarded a NKVD medal for his merits to the "intelligence service" in 1939. That was one year after the end of the Great Purge. Was has he done in that time? His work for the Cheka and later organisations is not even mentioned in the article. That has to be clarified. -- Irakli D 09:51, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I know, it was actually a civilian decoration, an Order of the Badge of Honor, that was awarded to him in 1939. He had very strong ties with the "Old Bolsheviks" and it is really surprising how he survived Stalinist purges.--Kober 11:03, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've never heard or read about Kotsoyev's work for Cheka. The sources mention that he died in relative poverty, he was obviously not a favourite among his colleagues. His works (I've read many) are not-so-pro-Soviet, and I wonder too, how he survived during the Purge. Maybe he was just forgotten. - Slavik IVANOV 23:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

He might be one of the founders of written Ossetic prose, but I don't see how he could be a founder of all prose. (Not all definitions of prose exclude non written language.) I also don't understand how he "had a large influence in the formation of the modern Ossetic language" since Ossetic was not a new language (just a newly written language).

Talk:Piero della Francesca

message: At the end of the section on matematics there are currently three sentences which read:
"Some historians question the sexuality of Piero della Francesca. In fact his dyptic of the Duke and Duchess of Urbino shows that the duke may have been his secret lover. The duchess was actually how Francesco viewed himself as a person."
I notice that this addition was made by 66.41.162.44 on 24 September 2006.
The person who was also responsible for adding spurious material to "Minesota Timberwolves" on 29 September 2006 and to "Robbinsdale Armstrong High School" on 22 October 2006. In each case that material has been removed.
I believe that the addition to "Piero della Francesca" is more of the same.
Consequently I am deleating this.

replies: text: I'd rather phone Leiv Mjeldheim. But phoning people and asking them would be OR anyway, unless they can point us to something they have published. Of course, the Rad. PP and Venstre were very closely connected, and towards the end, I don't think Venstre contested the RPP's "safe" seats, although it caused some acrimony that the RPP still contested some Venstre seats. But all I've read still makes it clear that they were formally, and in some periods really, quite separate entities. But SND does indeed say "chairman - Gjøvik Venstre". But without mentioning years.

Talk:John Creswell

message: There is some question as to Creswell's involvement with the Star Route Postal Ring that involved straw bidding and bribery in order to obtain valuable Star Route Postal contracts.  He had received checks in his name only rather then as Postmaster General.  He stopped this practice when he was informed that it was against a Postal regulation that forbid a Postmaster General to take checks in their own name.  He was also censored by the minority Democratic party in an 1872 investigation into the Star Route Postal Ring.  Staw bidding was at its highest while Creswell was Postmaster General.  Historically Creswell is viewed as a Postal reformer.  It is unknown why he resigned.  He may have resigned not because he knew scandals were in the Grant Administration, he may have resigned because he was involved in the Star Route Trading Ring.  This is unknown.  Any suggestions? Cmguy777 (talk) 18:44, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have found no evidence that Creswell was involved with the Star Route frauds. These frauds had to due with monetary expansions of contracts, after bidding for contracts and contracts for postal carriage had been secured.
