Talk:Ork (Warhammer 40,000)

message: Unfortunately, despite years of effort to encourage editors to approach the subject from an out-of-universe perspective, as of today this article still consisted almost entirely of material drawn entirely from the 40k sourcebooks. In the end, the only way to prevent that from happening seems to be to remove all of the in-universe material and start with a core which is purely from a real-world perspective. I've now done that. Editors who wish to read about the intricacies of the Orks are encouraged to visit any of the large number of lively external wikis which deal with 40k now: a simple web search for "40k wiki" returns plenty of excellent resources.

Talk:Ella Wheeler Wilcox

message: Her poem "The Way of the World" was first published in the February 25, 1883 issue of The New York Sun. The inspiration for the poem came as she was travelling to attend the Governor's inaugural ball in Madison, Wisconsin. On her way to the celebration, there was a young woman dressed in black sitting across the aisle from her. The woman was crying. Miss Wheeler sat next to her and sought to comfort her for the rest of the journey. When they arrived, the poet was so depressed that she could barely attend the scheduled festivities. As she looked at her own radiant face in the mirror, she suddenly recalled the sorrowful widow. It was at that moment that she wrote the opening lines of "Solitude":
I can't tell if this event was the inspiration for both poems or only Solitude. And the sources are applied in an unclear way so I'm not sure how to check. Thmazing (talk) 02:13, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

message: It is clearly stated in the first book that Psmith claimed to have added the ‘P’ to plain Smith to stand out; however, in Psmith in the City, he relates a tale of Norman French ancestry, “a certain Sieur de Psmith”. Given that his first name also changes, could it be that all the information he gives us about names is false, or at best unreliable? He seems to be very much his own creation in all that he does, so perhaps his name(s) are too? At least, we may not be able to know what the truth is, and that just because we were told one thing before another, doesn’t make the earlier version “more true”?

Talk:Self-Reliance

message: I am trying to expand the summary section of this essay.  I think explaining more of the main points that Emerson is making will help clarify his purpose for writing this essay.  Also, there are many not-as-important points he makes in the story, aside from the ones listed in the summary, so I could explain those.  Also, adding quotes from the essay that relate to the points would help with understanding. if I add these things, the summary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_David_Thoreau?swipe_mode=false#/media/File:John_Brown_-_Treason_broadside,_1859.png be clearer and easier to understand.

Rmpatel9 (talk) 04:06, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Seems to me that Emerson et al mistook German (and Protestant, generally) Stoicism for Idealism or at least confused it. Like the Stoics they were republican and self-reliant, but desired to live according to nature. They weren't antinomians. They were anarchists in the constructive indidividualist sense. Libertarians. Jonathan Edwards showed a similar confusion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.145.40 (talk) 20:41, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stoicism 

message: It seems to me that Self-Reliance is Emerson's manifesto regarding transcendentalist philosophy wherein he expounds how all of nature is permeated with a universal and infinite spirit, which is the source of truth and virtue and is the foundation of the physical world and all existence, beside which all petty concerns of everyday temporal reality pale. Moreover, man should discover his connection to the great transcendental truth through his own intuitions and feelings, rather than trying to find it in dusty old words and rituals of established religions.  Emerson equates the eternal spirit with God, although his concept of God is far different from that of western religions, and no doubt in combination with his famous Address to Harvard Divinity School, gave rise to charges of heresy and contributed to his being banned from Harvard for three decades.  174.56.173.38 (talk) 14:05, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

message: I cannot see why Fox-Davies in Armorial Families (see ) shows the arms of Charles Lindley Wood, 2nd Viscount Halifax (1839-1934) with an  inescutcheon of pretence of Courtenay. Inescutcheons of pretence are used where a man has married a heraldic heiress, that is a woman who is her father's heir and who therefore has no surviving brothers. This was not the case with Lady Agnes Elizabeth Courtenay (1838-1919), the wife of Charles Lindley Wood, 2nd Viscount Halifax (1839-1934) and the daughter of William Reginald Courtenay, 11th Earl of Devon (1807-1888). She did have a surviving brother, namely Edward Baldwin Courtenay, 12th Earl of Devon (1836-1891), who succeeded his father as Earl of Devon.
