Talk:Keith Moreland

message: I was tongue in cheek with the "Nah" and expecting someone to edit that first part.  I wouldn't have minded someone cleaning up my entry.  I was actually hoping someone would expand on it.  I added that part for that purpose.  That song is very famous and dear to Cubs fans.  
However, to simply delete what I wrote is offensive and not helpful.
It's also condoning a POV.  And a subjective point of view, at that.  As in, "He is best known for helping the Cubs win the 1984 National League Eastern Division championship."  Where is your source for that?
The current commentary that you reverted is not sourced.  I'm not disputing it and most of it is easily (except for abovementioned)verifiable.  But so was what I added (except for the attention getting subjective prefix).
Finally, it's actions like yours that put people off of Wikipedia.  Also, your action will likely have the effect of stifling the growth of this article, Steve Goodman's article, and related articles.

be "redundant"?  I've deleted this passage from the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessealama (talk • contribs) 17:32, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unclear comment about definitions 

message: This whole article needs an update, if not a rewrite. It is a mathematics article and should not reference software systems like Mizar or Metamath, and certainly shouldn't depend on them. This is particularly true because TG Set Theory is tied in with inaccessible cardinals and Mizar does not implement these properly (see https://cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2008-March/012783.html ).
The explanation of the axioms is not very illuminating. There is minimal if any cross referencing to other axiomatic set theories. There is not even a link to Grothendieck Universe.
Considering TG Set Theory is the set theory of choice for Category Theory and other theories that require operations with classes this article should be much more comprehensive. See for example the article on Morse-Kelley Set Theory as an example.
I am happy to update this article, but need to learn the protocols and how to do this? Not even sure I should be putting this comment here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkortink (talk • contribs) 22:33, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Three the Hard Way (film)

message: There is quite a bit of text currently in this article that (while it may be factual) is not appropriate for inclusion in an article about this film. (Much of it would be better placed in other articles.) For instance:
The 1960s provided much of the social events and culture that lead to the development of the blaxploitation genre. The Civil Rights movement, Vietnam War, assassinations of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and the Kennedys, and the inner-city race riots of Watts, Detroit and Newark magnified the need for tolerance and unity among Americans. Along with these events, the Black Power movement brought black culture and customs to the forefront of the American eye. White Americans were cautious but also intrigued and developed and appreciation by black culture especially hairstyles, fashion, catchphrases, and music. This push towards the inclusion of black culture into popular culture allowed for black films to be marketed to the general public. Featuring black themes and black casts, films like Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967) and The Dirty Dozen (1967) and actors like Sidney Poitier and Jim Brown were well-received and became Hollywood stars.

message: The article says that the "Slumber, watcher..." rhyme comes from the Pnakotic Manuscripts. It does not.
Lovecraft wrote, "Methought its [the Pole Star] spirit whispered evil counsel, soothing me to traitorous somnolence with a damnable rhythmical promise which it repeated over and over:
”Slumber, watcher, till the spheres
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolv’d, and I return
To the spot where now I burn.
Other stars anon shall rise
To the axis of the skies;
Stars that soothe and stars that bless
With a sweet forgetfulness:
Only when my round is o’er
Shall the past disturb thy door.”
Vainly did I struggle with my drowsiness, seeking to connect these strange words with some lore of the skies which I had learnt from the Pnakotic manuscripts" (emphasis mine).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.196.46.249 (talk) 00:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Randolph Carter

message: :"There is some question as to whether "The Unnamable's" protagonist is in fact Randolph Carter. He is named only as "Carter" and described as an author of weird fiction.[2]"
Randolph Carter was definitely the narrator of "The Unnamable". There is a subtle but unmistakable reference to the episode of Randolph Carter's life in Lovecraft's "The Silver Key":
:"Then he went back to Arkham, the terrible witch-haunted old town of his forfathers in New England, and had experiences in the dark, amidst the hoary willows and tottering gambrel roofs, which made him seal forever certain pages in the diary of a wild-minded ancestor."
Source: From page 413 of the corrected Arkham House edition of At The Mountains of Madness which contains the short story "The Silver Key". This ties in with a diary found by Carter in Arkham in The Unnamable:
:"Then I told him what I had found in an old diary kept between 1706 and 1723, unearthed among family papers not a mile from where we were sitting [i.e. in Arkham] ... It was all in that ancestral diary I found; all the hushed innuendoes and furtive tales of things with a blemished eye seen ... "
Source: From page 203 of the corrected Arkham House edition of Dagon and Other Macabre Tales which contains the short story "The Unnamable".
Some scholars may have questioned if Carter of the Unnamable and Randolph Carter are the same, but they have forgotten or overlooked this reference. I have also seen claims that the Carter of "The Unnamable" was scientifically minded and scorned supernatural fiction - but any such reading confuses the narrator (Carter) with Joel Manton (the cynic and unbeliever). Willows, Arkham, the ancestral diary, the experiences in the dark, the name "Carter" -- these all point to it being Randolph Carter. Whatsmore this is in a section of the narrative that has just tied in the earlier story "The Statement of Randolph Carter".
I think it is also worth mentioning that although Randolph Carter is obviously based on Lovecraft in the tales, as this Wikipedia entry suggests, it is also the case that Lovecraft himself appears in "Through the Gates of the Silver Key" as "Ward Phillips", a fellow dreamer, eccentric, author and good friend of Carter.
