Talk:Frank Steer

message: According to the referenced article, his only claim of notability was that he was the oldest living graduate of West Point at the time of his death.
This author (  ) has recently created a flurry of unreferenced hoax articles such as Stanley Lane and Harold F. Boice about NN WW-I veterans listed in Veterans of the First World War who died in 2005 (and 2006, 2004, etc.) ... see: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob MacPhersonWikipedia:Articles for deletion/James McPherson (novelist)Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James McPherson IIWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph McPhersonWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Russell McPhersonSome admin should take a closer look at their edit history. —68.239.79.97 22:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article lacks [[WP:A]] to establish [[WP:N]] 

message: I will establish an account with wikipedia soon after posting this.  However, I happened to be watching Pearl Harbor tonight on ABC, and it made me think of my grandfather, Colonel William Frank Steer.  And as his granddaughter, I do wish to make it clear that he was, in fact, the oldest living graduate of West Point until his death last year, which makes the facts stated in this article correct and "notable."  
I would like to see this article stay on Wikipedia, and from what I see in the article thus far, it is correct, however, there is so much more to his life that hasn't been included.  
But as from what I can see, it seems to be accurate.  Please keep this article!  He was a very amazing man, truly.  It was such a great sense of pride actually coming across this in Wikipedia, and he truly is worthy of being kept in Wikipedia! 
I am new to this whole "Wikipedia editing process," but I believe that this article should remain on Wikipedia because I can verifiy the information contained in this article about Frank Steer because I am his granddaughter.  
I can ask my mother for more external references on articles/publications/etc. written on his life.  
Please keep this article!  He was truly an amazing man!  He was also the oldest living surviving graduate of West Point until his death last year.  
If you have any questions, or are the editor of this article, you can contact me at Wikipedia username akb07.

thread_title:  Braddock Springs Pass 

message: I'm glad this section was included as a historical artifact.  It was this view, (to the West, from Braddock Mountain) which initially attracted me to purchase a home in the Middletown Valley in 1984, near where my Great-Great Grandfather, a Captain Daniel Shawen, originally recruited militia to fight in the War of 1812.
Unfortunately, some former neighbors of mine admitted to planting a thick stand of bamboo, which has grown to completely obscure the view that Holmes rhapsodized about.  If something like this had been done at the Grand Canyon, I wonder how much it would have been appreciated?   The view of South Mountain from the West of Braddock Mountain (of particular interest to Civil War buffs) has likewise been ruined by this stand of Panda fodder.
Sorry to disappoint any tourists intent on visiting Braddock Heights, hoping to see what Oliver Wendell Holmes saw. Danshawen (talk) 11:15, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Wilhelm Normann

message: I've requested a translation of the German page, which is far more comprehensive.
LeadSongDog 16:08, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The English translation needs a wee bit of tidying up. Especially strange is glossing "Elektrisch beheizter Etagenroester" as "electrically heated esters". Google Translate says "Etagenröster" means "floor roasters" (whatever they are) and my old German-English Brockhaus seems to agree. In any case, I don't think "Öster" is a form of the word "Ester"; and that would leave the very strange "Etagenr-" for the first part of the word. Perhaps someone who knows about Etagenröster would correct this.
(I have a little girlfriend named Ester. She's aready hot, and needs no more heating. Sorry, couldn't resist the pun.)

thread_title:  Keely hoax 

message: "In the 19th century most physicists believed, incorrectly, that all of space was filled with a medium called the "Luminiferous aether" (or "ether"), a hypothetical substance which was thought necessary for the transmission of electromagnetic waves and to the propagation of light, which was believed to be impossible in "empty" space. "
As far as I know current popular physics and mathematical models do not depend on the ether but nothing has ever proven the ether cannot exist.   This sort of thought loading seems dangerous. If this is not correct please provide current  accepted citations that prove that ether does not exist.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spamlist (talk • contribs) 23:09, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

The vessel departed Sydney in August for India via New Zealand. (John Cumpston, (1977) Shipping arrivals & departures Sydney, 1788-1825, Canberra, p.33).

I used the Kelley Topology text as an undergraduate in the 1960's and have no memory of any mention of categories in this text.

I just looked at the book and, while I didn't and won't go through every page, I am virtually certain that category theory is not mentioned in it.

thread_title:  Accomplishments 

message: According to this video recorded by channel 'Objectivity' at the Royal Society, using the Minutes from the meeting in which Daniell died and testimony from another professor in attendance, Daniell's jugular vein was "opened" at the suggestion of a doctor in the room after the other attendees noticed his odd behavior. I felt this was noteworthy, as it's not a typical procedure – especially not in the modern setting one reads Wikipedia articles in – to cut one of the most highly-traveled veins in the body in order to treat stroke. Please note that I don't suggest he died as a result of having his jugular vein cut, only that this particular attempt to save his life may be of note to modern readers — after all, the cut was resealed shortly after being made, and I doubt that the autopsy, jury, and witnesses could all have misidentified the cause of Daniell's death due purely to the zeitgeist of bloodletting at the time.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crossark (talk • contribs) 00:47, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:John Frost (Chartist)

message: When was Frost married and how many times? I noticed a recent article in the South Wales Argus about the 17th century church St David's in Bettws, Newport, being in need of a £40,000 face lift. It claimed:
"John Frost, who led protests for universal suffrage in Newport in the 1830s, was married at the church after he came back from Australia."
But surely Frost was married as a young man? Well before the Newport Rising? It seems his daughter Catherine actually joined him in Tasmania after he was deported. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: At this site there is this report: "We understand that Mr. John Frost, the old Chartist, died at his daughter's home in Stapleton, Bristol on 27th inst. at the ripe old age of 93. Mr. John Frost, prior to the lamentable outbreak in which he was the prime leader, commenced business in Newport as a tailor and draper in 1811, in a house belonging to his step-father, near the Royal Oak, Mill Street. Shortly after this he married a widow named Geach, who, with her two children, resided with her uncle, Mr. William Foster, a member of the old Corporation and Mayor of the Borough in the years 1804, 1812 and 1817. At Mr. Foster's demise Mrs. Frost and her children derived a handsome property. By Mr. Frost, she became the mother of two sons and five daughters........"  The booklet Monmouth and the Chartists, by David J Harrison, states: "[After he returned to England in 1856,] John Frost joined his wife in Stapleton, north east of Bristol....His wife was ailing, and lived less than a year after his return. Catherine, who had accompanied her father around the world, returned to Tasmania.."  Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:43, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: How intriguing. So does this mean Frost already had two sons and three daughters, when he married the widow Geach, one of whom was Catherine? BMD and/or census records might repay a visit. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:04, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My interpretation of the words "By Mr. Frost, she became the mother of two sons and five daughters..." would be that they had those children together, after they were married, but I could be wrong.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 23:49, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that would make perfect sense. The index here    suggests that any record of the pre-1837 Frost marriage might be difficult to find. It's quite possible of course he did marry again after his first wife's death, although why he'd return to Bettws from Stapleton to marry is unclear. It seems more likely that The South Wales Argus got the timing of the marriage wrong. Maybe the records at St David's in Bettws, if there are any, might set the record straight?
