Talk:John Maus

message: I propose that the profession "Professor of Philosophy" be deleted from this page. Although he may have received his doctorate by now, "professor" is a job title that one holds at a particular academic institution. If he hasn't been appointed to a post somewhere that comes with that title, he's not a "professor".

message: I don't understand.  It says in this article that Maus has had some underground releases coming out since 1991, but given that he was born in 1980, that would have made him 11 years old at the time.  I find that hard to believe, especially given that I can't find any information about these releases ANYWHERE else on the Internet.  Can someone explain where this information came from?

replies: text: Rather than haranguing other editors in BOLD, and making unproven assumptions about what you believe to be the case - but is in fact untrue - it would be better if you did a modicum of research yourself to find out the true facts before taking action.  You assumed that the list pertained to John Walker (born Maus), when it doesn't.  I have no idea who or what the list relates to.  It's totally unsourced, and it would be best if it were not included in either article.  Thank you for identifying the problem - but please don't make such assumptions in future, and please learn to sign your posts using four of these: ~  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Someone my reverted my removal of the adjective "philosopher" from the lead. They say he has published papers on philosophy. I can't find any. He has a Ph.D. in Poly Sci. Can someone find a citation to a philosophy paper (or some other philosophical writing) he's published?? Danski14(talk) 15:44, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: There are mentions of Maus in RS as a "philosopher", but I am not sure it should be included. Philosopher is thrown around very lightly. Hrodvarsson (talk) 21:53, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

message: What do we think about these two claims in the Personal Life section: 
* [Kika Karadi] and Maus reconciled in the summer of 2020.
* In 2020 she joined her husband in donating in support of the Republican Party.
Seems like both should be cut, the former because it's totally unsourced and the latter because there's no third-party coverage of the donations. I thought I'd open it up to discussion, though, before taking any action. NASAvegas (talk) 21:22, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Surely the Trump donation not be stated as fact, as John Maus is a quite common name and there is no actual evidence it's him. There are two different people named 'John Maus' in the Trump donations alone, from different states. Citing a donation from someone named 'John Maus' in his state is not enough in my opinion. It's still just opinion as to whether it's him. 81.134.50.26 (talk) 09:34, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

* Later the same year, they both donated to the Donald Trump reelection campaign.

message: Outsider artist? What is the basis for that? Does the person who contributed that mean to say 'experimental' or something more along those lines? I don't see what's 'outsider' about a musician who studied experimental music at Cal Arts. I certainly don't see what's 'naive' about his approach since he's possibly overly self-analytical.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4479:5902:9700:9528:E630:D3D6:5CA2 (talk) 06:29, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
