Talk:Gio Batta Gori

message: Dr Gori is widely cited as an authority on passive smoking (12400 Google hits for his full name). He has recently published an article in the Cato journal on this topic and a widely-cited opinion piece in the Washington Post. He is being proposed as a source for the article Passive smoking. In these circumstances, an article about him is appropriate.JQ 12:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Gori did make a number of statements that sounded like that, but they were so hypothetical and hedged that it's hard to draw any definite conclusion from them.

thread_title:  The picture doesn't appear to make him look African-American

message: As the Webmaster of the Battle of Olustee Web site, where the 54th Massachusetts fought, I am slowly adding detailed information on many of its members to my site. I got around to Stephan Swails and did some searching on the Web and also WP. I thought I'd do the work on my site first and then copy it to his WP page, but I think I'll do it the other way around. Or maybe not, as I don't need all his info on the Battle of Olustee site. I can just link to his WP page from my site as I do with a number of other soldiers who fought at Olustee.
In any case, I'll be greatly expanding Swails' WP page with information, references and citations over the next few weeks. I've already standardized the references. There are some nice other Web sites on him, but I'll also be making use of Emilio's book. 
One point, in Emilio's book there is some question as to whether Swails was the first African American to be commissioned as an officer in the Civil War. Emilio states that, if not the first, then Swails was one of the first. However, one site I saw says Swails was the first. I know from the book that Swails was promoted to 2nd lieutenant within the regiment, awaiting the approval of the governor or Massachusetts, in the summer of 1863, due to his actions at Battery Wagner. Later, he was actually granted leave to go to Washington and plead his case when his commission was denied at first. I'll have to check this out more closely. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 23:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding text, references and citations 

message: I marked the image of Swails as 1st LT. 1864, although he really didn't reach that rank until April 1865. The real issue is—was he an officer when that photo was taken? I think so. If he had been enlisted, he would have had a forage cap, as the enlisted men in that regiment were issued such. The hat seen on the table, not a Hardee hat, is one typically worn by an officer. As for his uniform, officers often wore toned-down rank on their jackets to avoid being shot by sharpshooters. Which may be why it is difficult to see the rank. Plus, the 54th, since it was stationed in the South, was far from supply depots and the officers would not be able to visit a tailor to replace their more dressy uniforms. Of course, all this could be wrong too, as the hat could just be a photographer's prop. However, in Emilio's book, this photograph is listed with others under the title "Colored Officers." Plus, all the enlisted photographs in the book show the enlisted men with forage caps and posing with their arms or musical instruments (if they were musicians). Thomas R.

thread_title:  Acting theorists 

message: I have noticed that questions of this distinction are often asked after on thes articles. The truth is, that up until about the mid 19th century, the distiction among the singers of the opera and the actros of the theatre was not as strict as it became later; both the singers and the actors were expected to sing and act. If singers had dramatic talent, they were expected to act in the theatre; and if actors were able to sing, they were expected to act in operas. Therefore, many of these artists (far from all, however) are known to have been both singers and actors in paralell, although one of these careers strongly dominated. Franck is known to have been both.--85.226.41.66 (talk) 14:47, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The parts are in danger of being deleted because the composer of the works is not written in the article.

Among her parts were "one of the pleasures" in Armide (season 1786-1787), Maria in Gustaf Adolf och Ebba Brahe (Gustaf Adolf and Ebba Brahe) (1787-1788), Flattery in Alcides inträde i världen (The arival of Alcide in to the world) (1793-1794), Theodora in De gamla friarna (The two suitors) (1795-1796), Antiope in Renaud (1800-1801), Sabina in Den förmente prinsen (The suposed Prince) (1807-1808), madame de Veronne in Ambroise (1812-1813), Gertrud in Den Schweiziska familjen (The Swiss family) (1815-1816) and the abbess in Nunnorna (The nuns). Her most noted performances was Thilda in "Oden", Celestina and the Abess in "Korsfararne", and the leading parts in "Virginia", "Johanna af Montfaucon" and Fru Dorsan (Mrs Dorsan) in "Den svartsjuka hustrun" (The jealous wife); the lates one, in 1808, was considered her greatest triumph.--85.226.47.151 (talk) 10:53, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
