Talk:Marion Military Institute

message: When was Marion Military Institute racially integrated?  It appears that it may have been in the 1960s or 1970s. This would be an important part of the institution's history but seems to have been excluded from histories of the school.  Is it possible that MMI never was fully integrated? Based on evidence in the Marable case, there may have been problems with "race mixing" as late as 2010 or so. --CollegeMeltdown (talk) 03:13, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

message: http://www.uscg.mil/history/WEBORALHISTORY/Marvin_Perrett_Oral_History.asp
Memoir of Marvin Perret, coxswain of one of APA-33's landing craft at Utah Beach. Some inaccuracies (the XO Littlefield was no relation to Lucille Littlefield-Spencer, and to my knowledge none of the troops aboard had been to Italy before landing on Utah Beach) but nevertheless a fascinating read.

thread_title:  Utah Beach oral history 

message: An IP recently added the following material:
In April, she loaded troops for another landing and put them ashore south of Da Nang on 28 April.
Beginning May 17, Bayfield participated in Operation Beau Charger (Task Group 76.4), a combined forces amphibious landing and sweep operation into the southern half of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in the Ben Hai River region, which continued until May 26. Marines of the 3rd Marine Division were put ashore in Bayfield landing craft on May 18 (D-Day) and the ship came under attack from shore batteries, which earned the venerable attack transport and its crew the Combat Action Ribbon. TG 76.4 consisted of Okinawa, Bayfield, Point Defiance, and Whitfield County, among others. Ship-to-shore gunfire support was provided by heavy cruisers Boston and St. Paul, and destroyers Allen M. Sumner, Edson, Strauss, and HMAS Hobart. This was the strongest concentration of American surface gunfire ships since the Korean War. Bayfield continued to serve off the coast of Vietnam until 28 May, ferrying troops between points as needed and transporting casualties to the hospital ship Sanctuary. Relieved by the Duluth, Bayfield headed back to Long Beach, Calif., via Sasebo, Hong Kong and Pearl Harbor. Beau Charger would be her last combat assignment.

Talk:Philostrate

message: "Shakespeare may have used this character to poke fun at Edmund Tilney, the Master of Revels in London at the time. In early performances of the play, the actor who played his character probably also played the part of Egeus, causing textual confusion in one scene in Act five where both characters are present."
I wonder, while I have no problem with this information in the body of the article, is it really appropriate to put details of such a speculative nature right up there in the introduction? Calgary 05:19, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  In Popular Culture... 

message: It would be interesting to see how the line "Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft." can be interpreted.
Of course, in our modern day frame of reference, the interpretation is obvious, the two men were romantically involved.
However, Shakespeare is anything but modern, and certain words and expressions have changed their meaning over time, and others still have lost their meaning altogether. An example is the word "girl" that once meant "child of either gender" or so I have been told (let's not get into this if I misquoted this, it would be a different issue).
So, does the kissing of Yorick's lips hold the same meaning as it does in our modern times, or is there a different meaning that would nowadays escape most people, including me?

Talk:Zhi

message: This article could almost better be made into a disambiguation page. Originally, there was a re-direct from chih" to "ch'i", which was not appropriate.  There are several words that are all spelled the same in romanization (sans tone marks), and none of those words is likely to be known by the average well-informed reader.  
A couple of the words has need of little more than a simple definition so that readers can have enough to identify and separate the different Chinese characters to use them. Another of them has a fairly substantial body of theorizing and philosophical discouse attached to it, but, on the other hand, is still not demanding of a 32k long article.  
How is one supposed to judge whether an article of more than stub length is justified?  It might turn out to be something that would be no more read than an article on "the several ways of disposing of fish scales in the canning industry."  When one puts a "stub" notice on an article it is usually to indicate that somebody has just started an article and the reviewer can see need for several kinds of information, i.e., it's not just an arbitrary decision that, e.g., "This article is below the 7.01k lower limit on "real article" size.

Oh, does wikipedia not accept pure testimony, even though a man is on death row based on nothing but pure testimony?  But if I'm wrong about Melton, I could recant!  Ha.  But no, really, this man should be recognized for his profound contribution to legal precedent, for annihilating the role recantations of testimony might play in appeals...even when it involves convictions based entirely on testimony.  Where was Melton during the Salem Witch Trials, his logic would have helped the prosecution immensely.  Oh, wait, who needs logic?  Melton simply defies all logic.  He also defies morality.  His ancestors are proud, I'm sure.  And believe me, that previous sentence is the purest fabrication possible.  Hope the severence package was worth it when Melton sold his soul to the devil.

"I expanded the earlier statement regarding the book's eloquent style, added in the subtitle, contrasted its emphasis with Santayana's later multi-volume work, and discussed the abridgment."  
As someone to whom it was suggested by the professor of a class on American philosophy to read the first volume, Reason in Common Sense, and who then went on to read the four other volumes on his own, this book is one for which I have great affection.  I'm glad to see that someone else has taken the initiative to create an article page for it.Wetzel95 06:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

message: It makes little sense, taking scholarly commentaries, histories of philosophy, and encyclopedia articles as the standard, to label Santayana a Spanish philosopher. But even disregarding convention, I think it makes little sense to call Santayana a Spanish philosopher. Yes, he was born in Spain and held a Spanish passport until he died, but these do not determine one's philosophical orientation. He was the student and colleague of Royce and James at Harvard, and though he strongly criticized them and Dewey, the expression of his philosophy would not have been what it was without at the very least James and Peirce. The influence of his Spanish heritage is undeniable, but so is the influence of Greek philosophy and Asian philosophy. Mc2000 03:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
