Talk:Lawrence Kermit White

message: A man claiming to be White's son says that he died on April 5, 2006. An ssdi search confirms this. Sort of original research though... Cheers, CP 19:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I wouldn't bet my life on it, but I got suspicious a while back and checked the SSDI. If you search for Lawrence K. White, you get two, one of whom was born on June 10, 1912 and died April 5, 2006. He was also listed in another death register, though I can't find that anymore. Then when I saw the comment from someone alleging to be their son, I was fairly convinced, since they got the date right and gave details that one wouldn't expect from a non-relative (see above link). I think it's highly unlikely that a different Lawrence K. White born June 10, 1912 would have died recently (White was confirmed to be alive in the early 2000s I believe). It's not completely unheard of for someone high ranking to die and not get an obituary. WHPS J. Leonard Reinsch died back in 1991, and no one noticed until 2006. Maybe there's someone that could be contacted who might know of an official obituary? Cheers, CP 22:19, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: David Nicolas, the french guy behind the music video, also did another popular ugly-looking video of the 2000's: the Supermen Lovers' Starlight song. 
Although it is kind of unrelevant to make an article of him, somebody must make a little link between the two songs, because in some countries (and considering that the 90's-2000's were the golden years of music videos) the songs were receiving airplay just because of the popularity of its music videos. Take my word, here in Chile MTV ruled back then.
PD: the guy is alzo known as barzolff in the web. Check him out, he fooled a lot of countries a few years ago with some fake UFO videos (Also CGG) and he has some amazing art.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.220.233.208 (talk) 04:48, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Treatise

message: In the current revision of the page, one of the criteria for the definition of a treatise is as follows: "The subject is abstact: If the subject is of the physical or natural world, the work becomes scientific writing." I strongly disagree with this criteria as there is no definition to my knowledge that neither explicitly or implicitly implies this criteria. Even the previous definition before  edited the page, although incorrect, I'd argue was more accurate which is as follows: "The subject is intellectual or abstact: If the subject is of the physical or natural world, the work becomes scientific writing." I still disagree with this definition and will argue that this criteria should either be removed or modified to focus on the intellectual aspect of the previous definition. Many scientific books are described as treatises, such as James Clerk Maxwell's "Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism". Since I'm not presented with sources for this criteria for a treatise, I will hide/remove it until otherwise given ample sources and reasoning to accept this criteria as part of the definition of a treatise. W.C Cross (talk) 21:47, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Strong Disagreement on One of the Criteria For A Treatise 

message: In Section 2 of "Treatise", it seems that the final sentences imply more criteria for the definition of a treatise. It's stated as follows:
"In addition to the features above, to qualify as a treatise, the work has to be revolutionary and create a sustained momentum. The revolutionary feature is important as it positions the work as being notable. The sustained momentum feature is important as without it, the work is unsuccessful in exposing the principles of the subject.
Treatises typically don't follow the long tail distribution of popularity like many other written works. They tend to follow the diffusion of innovations theory though on long time scales. This distribution of popularity with time also applies to wisdom literature and possibly other written genres."
While the second part of this definition seems reasonable, the first part of this definition seems contrived. Neither of these definitions have sources and I would like to see sources confirming these. Until then, I will leave the definitions untouched.
In general, this page is lacking in sources and we should compile some on this talk page to fill in any claims made in the page. W.C Cross (talk) 22:28, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Stellar magnetic field

message: Hi Bob, nice job in setting up this page.  One comment: the terms "sunspot" and "solar flare" refer to the Sun.

Talk:German Galynin

message: I recall that, decades ago, I heard that Galynin died in mysterious circumstances - or, more accurately disappeared - because, as best I remember it, he apparently fell out of favour with the Soviet authorities and simply disappeared, and the suspicion was that he was imprisoned or held in a psychiatric hospital, and was never seen nor heard of ever again, so presumably dying in custody.  This was mentioned by a radio announcer introducing a broadcast of his Piano Concerto no. 1, so there is no way of verifying it, or checking that I remember the account accurately.
I notice the article is strangely lacking in details on his death, noting simply that he died in 1966 in Moscow.  I was just wondering if anyone who comes across this article knows any more about this, and whether they could consider adding this to the article, if a reliable source can be found.
This page partly agrees with what I remember: https://www.wrightmusic.net/pdfs/german-germanovich-galynin.pdf
I have no idea whether it counts as a reliable source, but it does partly agree with what I remember: he suffered from mental illness (apparently real and not trumped up by the Societ regime), and spent time in hospitals and psychiatric clinics, and also died in a mental hospital.  It also says he was criticized by the Soviet government, but makes no connection between these two things.  But it doesn't seem to agree with my memory of his "disappearing", nor is there any suggestion in this source that he was committed to psychiatric hospitals by the government.  Perhaps I remember wrongly what I heard the radio announcer say (it was decades ago), or may be he did say it but it was incorrect.  I have often wondered about this over the years.
Can anyone shed more light on this? M.J.E. (talk) 10:54, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Giancarlo Baghetti

message: Giancarlo Baghetti is correctly recorded as being one of only three F1 drivers to win their debut race but this slightly misleads the reader and diminishes the greatness of his achievement as both the other drivers won races in which every competitor was driving in the first Grand Prix, i.e. the 1950 British Grand Prix being the first ever Championship race and the 1950 Indy 500, which involved a field of American drivers, none of whom had taken any part in the earlier rounds of that season. I propose a rewording to the following.
:Baghetti holds the distinction of being the only driver ever to win their debut Grand Prix against a field that did not consist entirely of debutant drivers.
