Talk:Helen MacMurchy

message: "It has been documented that MacMurchy held extreme dehumanizing and racist beliefs. [...] Her actions led to [...] "feeble-minded", a pseudo-scientific category that stood in for the racialized, [...] White female social workers were trained in the surveillance of the population with a particular focus on immigrant communities. Their occupation was professionalized partly because of "the need to have trained experts police new arrivals."
The tone of this paragraph is definitely not what I would consider dispassionate or encyclopedic. Let's take a look at the references.
Who is this Robyn Maynard?
From her personal website: Robyn Maynard is an author and scholar based in Toronto, where she holds the position of Assistant Professor of Black Feminisms in Canada at the University of Toronto-Scarborough in the Department of Historical and Cultural Studies.
Also, take a look at the kind of stuff she posts on Twitter.
This article (well, really, just that paragraph) needs a cleanup, and we need to find a less biased source, since we should only be dealing with biographical information here. Multiple Mooses (talk) 07:58, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rollason Way 

message: I notice someone's updated the use of the name Gabby Yorath to Gabby Logan. While that is her surname now, I deliberately chose to refer to her as Gabby Yorath in this article because that was her name when Rollason was alive, and she was Gabby Yorath when she paid tribute to Rollason back in 1999, presented On the Ball, and so on. Is it correct to refer to her retrospectively by her current name? Or should we use the name she was known by at the time the events being discussed occurred? I don't suppose it really matters and it's just a case of me having a bit of article OCDness. But does anyone have any thoughts on this? This is Paul (talk) 11:55, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: In accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines [WP:NCP], this article should be titled "Niels Fabian Helge von Koch". Wikipedia's naming conventions  are very clear: The "Firstname Lastname" format applies to the majority of biographical articles. A potential exception would for an individual who is much better known by an alternative name (for example, "Bill Clinton" instead of "William Jefferson Clinton"). In this instance, however, the Swedish surname is "von Koch" but the preposition was omitted in naming the Koch snowflake. In some biographies, the phrase "Helge von Koch" was used to distinguish this individual from his father ("Vogt von Koch") and his grandfather ("Samuel von Koch"), who were also notable figures in Sweden. Nonetheless, major biographies and other standard references simply refer to this individual as "von Koch"; see L. Garding, Mathematics and Mathematicians: Mathematics in Sweden before 1950 (Providence, R.I., 1998), and M. Bernkopf, Dictionary of Scientific Biography (New York 1970-1990). A complete bibliography of von Koch’s papers is in Acta Mathematica 45:345-348 (1925). If there are no objections within the next 7 days, I will proceed with re-titling this article with the individual's full name in accordance with the Wikipedia guidelines.

message: The bit about Klopper "demand[ing] from Rommel to be held in different section of the prison camp, segregated from the black soldiers" sounds both biased and fanciful and needs to be removed. In reality, management of the Tobruk POWs was given to the Italians. Rommel would have no say at all in the custodial arrangements. Yes, like most white South Africans of the day, Klopper would probably have discriminated generally against blacks and coloureds, but inclusion of this specific content would need to be reliably justified, which is not the case at present.

I am wondering about the nickname "Boston Shorty," though, as Larry Johnson also has the same "Boston Shorty" moniker.  Johnson was inducted into the BCA Hall of Fame in 1999.  Though he does not have an article written on him yet, this may cause a small conflict down the road, but one which can be remedied satisfactorily I am sure.

Talk:Henrietta Dugdale

message: I have made major edits to this entry, using information from a recent biography (Priestley, 2011) and with input from the author of this biography. The birth year was incorrect, and the claim of marriage at 14 years also seems incorrect. I have also added a photo, citations to references, a link to Dugdale's "A Few Hours in a Far Off Age", links to Wikipedia articles that refer to her, and some external links. I suggest that the class is no longer a Stub, and that the importance is not "low", although being new to Wikipedia, I'm not sure of the meaning of these terms. Dugdale was a major force in women's suffrage in Australia, and so she is internationally important because Australia was the first country to allow women to run for parliament.

Talk:Henrik Kacser

message: Anecdotes are not allowed in the main text of wikipedia articles. However I feel that the anecdotes provided here are of sufficient historical interest and reflect on the personality, the times he lived in and mode of thinking of Henrik Kacser that it is worth stating them for the record. 
1. In 1955 Henrik Kacser was offered a lecturer position in the department of genetics. Before that he had just finished his Diploma of Animal Genetics. At the time he has no offer for work. One day he was walking down the corridor in the department and Conrad Hal Waddington passed him in the opposite direction. Waddington stopped, turned, lowered his pipe and asked Henrik what he was going to do now that he'd finished his Diploma. Henrik said he had no plans as yet. Waddington replied, well why not stay here? And that is how Henrik became a lecturer in the department of genetics (Sauro, personal communication).
2. Henrik's work on the control of flux and the hypothesis that the rate-limiting step was an erroneous concept started as a result of an observation of a mutant Aspergillus strain. He observed that a particular enzyme in one of the amino acid biosynthesis pathways had lost 95% of its activity and yet the phenotype appeared unchanged. It was this observation that prompted Henrik to realize that phenotypes are most likely determined by the network in which the enzyme belongs rather than the specific properties of the enzyme itself (Sauro, personal communication).
