message: I have added biography info from the cited reference; unfortunately, the Italian book has no ISBN code. --Frankesko (talk) 23:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's loose and informal in style; refers to subject as "Richard" or "he" rather than "Meredith"; uses a lot of unsourced information (an author's autobiographical sketch is not very sound sourcing); more terms need wikilinking. Those are the first things that come to mind.  --Orange Mike  | Talk 14:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi 
I have a personal complaint and dont know quite how to do anything about this. 
Although i am glad the italian have this biography writeupin wikipedia .but the fact richarcd has been died so long 1979  some things are said about him or his personal life that is not correct. 
I am a reliable source because I was Joy Gates Meredith and spent 16 years with richard till his death ............1979 we were married in 1963... 
Little things like if appears Kira was born before one novel then he was married , Richard and i were married 18 months before kira was born. 1965    also. the bio reads that richard 
thought 
he could write  i object to this   SF This is menuteor minor point  but He did write science fiction before this fact.Well there were otherthings like the accidentaly death of my oldest twin. but we wont go there. 
I am the person who listed Richard 's list of books and short stories.  and I appreciate you having this bio. 
Does anyone have any ideas about this?

Sorry to see this ony now, Joy; I am the one who edited the original profile and put the sentence: "After the birth of his first daughter, Kira Chimene, from his second marriage with Joy Gates, he thought he could write for the science fiction market.[1]" as stated in the Italian book. I will change simply it to: "his first daughter, Kira Chimene, was born in 1965, from his second marriage with Joy Gates." I beg you and wiki users to advise if I misunderstood and made a wrong correction. Thank you for showing up, I am a great fan of Richard. --Frankesko (talk) 14:12, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

message: "His highly stylized heads anticipated German expressionism"
I'd prefer to avoid this word, because it implies that German Expressionism was inevitable and Gerstl was somehow prescient of that matter of fate. Normally, I would suggest saying it influenced German Expressionism, but since his work apparently wasn't much known in the art world until 1931, it's probably most accurate or at least safest to say that "his highly stylized heads resembled those painted by German Expressionists a few years later". Any objections to such a change? Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:24, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Glazar

message: By definition, the survivor guilt syndrome is a characteristic group of symptoms occurring in survivors of natural disasters, combat, and epidemics. It is hardly adequate in the context of death camp Sonderkommando survivors because they did far more in their daily experience than they were willing to admit in their postwar memoirs. The actual broader picture emerges only through comparison with accounts originating from all historical sources, including German. Poeticbent talk 21:50, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Survivor syndrome

message: *That Glazar first published his work years after Shoah (first paragraph of the Treblinka section) was sourced to Rethinking Poles and Jews: Troubled Past, Brighter Future, p. 36. I'm not sure what the relevance is of that point, but there's no mention of Glazar on that page, or in the book that I can see.
*Also this (last two sentences of the Treblinka section):
::"Glazar and Unger spent several months working at the camp, fully aware that they were aiding and abetting the cause that killed thousands of their own people every month. In the end, they were the only known two Czech Jews who were not murdered immediately upon their arrival to Treblinka, out of some 18,000 victims of gassing".
:It was sourced to deathcamps.org, but I can't see it on that page.

Talk:Richard S. Westfall

message: *Science and Religion in Seventeenth Century England, Yale University Press, 1958 (1st. ed), University of Michigan Press, 1973 (2nd ed.)
:  Based on research done in 1950-1952, this was an important contribution at the time when it was first published. The young Westfall writes loosely within the tradition of W.E. H. Lecky, Andrew White, and Franklin Baumer. In the thought of the seventeenth-century English virtuosi, Westfall emphasizes what he sees as the ultimate conflict between science and religion and what he sees as the superficial harmony attributed to them. In his running commentary on the seventeenth-century writers, he treats the proposed reconciliations between science and religion not only as superficial, but as artifiicial, arbitrary, weak, inconsistent and failed. He sees no influence of religion on the rise of modern science and postulates a negative influence of science on Christianity. Philosophical and theological topics which he discusses include: God as creator, providence, miracles, and natural law; reason and faith/revelation; natural theology; the mechanical philosophy; materialism; atomism; deism; and atheism. Even in his early work, Westfall includes an impressively borad selection of seventeenth-century natural philosophers and uses primary sources extensively. Westfall's early book has been superseded by the works of Force, Klaaren, and Popkin--and to a certain extent, by the later Westfall. The second edtion is unchanged from the first, except for a new preface in which Westfall defends a few of his most questionable theses from the first edition. Science and Religion in the English Speaking World, 1600-1727 A Biliographic Guide to the Secondary Literature, Richard S. Boorks & David K. Himrod, Scarecrow Press, 2001, , pp. 201-203     
*Although Richard Westfall's work as a whole garners first-rate respect from other historians, I'm 95% sure that most familiar with his work considered the young Westfall to have naively propogated some of the Whiggish trends prevalent in the history of science during his early career. --Firefly322 (talk) 21:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The evidence is that Welch was known not only by Nov. 17, but publically as well before the publication of Agee's Counterspy list.
I am not defending Agee or opposing the IIPA, but we now know that tying Agee or counterspy to Welch killing makes no sense given the timeline of prior publications and  the fact that Welch was living in what had been identified as the CIA station chief house. 
So the correct notation is that Welch's assassination was used to pass Intelligence Agents Protection Act, but wrongly so, due to the clear timing issues of his prior identification by Nov. 17 and others. CIA had been being sloppy, and its personnel including COS could be identified by indirect means.108.18.74.119 (talk) 22:46, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
