Talk:Walter Natynczyk

message: Could you please explain this excision?  Geo Swan (talk) 03:05, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Could you please explain further... 

message: It would be nice if there was some sort of explanatory transition between the paragraph where Natynczyk is a Canadian officer and the next one where he's a General in charge of a US unit and major US military base.  I suppose this might be clear to the informed reader (i.e., not me), but it could use some work.  Anyone know the story?

Talk:Corte de' Frati

message: Hello everyone,
I recently modified the Corte de' Frati page. In order to do that, I used a book taken from the library of the municipality (Bonometti, Dante, 1978, Storia di Corte de' Frati) and retrieved some information about the history of the town (from 10th century to 19th century). 
I also updated the infobox, added the right website of the municipality and wrote the name of the mayor in charge. 
The government chart that I added was imported from the Wikipedia Italian version of the page.  Rebswing (talk) 17:25, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Cyrus Bussey

message: Hello. I came upon this article in The Evening Republican newspaper, Columbus, Indiana, and thought it may be of interest to you.
From The Evening Republican, 2 November 1900:
"Gen. Cyrus Bussy, of Washington, DC, who spoke to the republicans in this city this afternoon, formerly lived in Columbus. He left when he was thirteen years old. He married Miss Kaiser, at Rockford, south of here, who is a sister to Oscar Kaiser of Seymour (Indiana). . ."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historiccolumbus (talk • contribs) 17:15, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
Talk:Dustin Berg

message: In this edit I introduced a couple of references, and modernized a couple of others.
I also added a new section: Dustin Berg#Long term impact of Berg's shooting.
After spending an hour or so, following google links, and seeing that Berg's act triggered ongoing comments, I believe Berg's act has a long term impact, that it was not an insignificant and forgotten incident.
But, while I think this aspect is important, and can be covered in a neutral way, I am not fully satisfied that my first crack at addressing it will strike others as sufficiently neutral.  I am hoping others, who have a little more distance, can help make sure it fully complies with all our policies.

thread_title:  Official website??? 

message: As I started reading the article about Malcom Nance, I couldn't help but feel the first sentence was familiar: " . . .is an American author, media pundit, and special executive for counterintelligence, terrorism, revenge, and extortion." So I went to another Wikipedia article (entitled "SPECTRE") on the fictitious orgnaization that was James Bond's nemesis - SPECTRE. Here is a quote from it: 
"SPECTRE (Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) is a fictional organisation featured in the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming, as well as the films and video games based on those novels. Led by criminal mastermind Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the international organisation first formally appeared in the novel Thunderball (1961) and in the film Dr. No (1962)."
I don't think Mr. Nance specializes in terrorism, revenge and extortion. I suggest that the original author (or someone else) rewrite this sentence to give it a more appropriate meaning. TikiGod1950 (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Matt Latimer

message: "Matt Latimer served at Press Secretary to US Rep Nick Smith (R-MI). He was best known for his floppy hair." LOL!!
 
I'm not sure which of the two the "floppy hair" line is referring to (I assume the congressman as Latimer wrote: "I worked for a congressman who “misremembered” basic facts, such as the “Eisenhower assassination.”"), so likely this line will be changed at some point in the future. It made me laugh so hard though, that I thought it should be saved for posterity. 207.81.6.69 (talk) 20:38, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Booker T. Spicely

message: Evets70 (talk) 18:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm very glad to see this article, and believe that Booker T. Spicely deserves more historical attention (and a plaque at 
Walltown Park, very close to where he died--and four blocks from my house).  But there is one likely mistake in the current text, and in the Endangered Durham blog,  that has been repeated
again and again--the connection of the murder to the warehouse fire.
One thing I am sure of--the warehouse fire took place the night of Spicely's death, not after the trial.  See next day's edition of 
Durham Herald, Raleigh News, Charlotte Observer.  Moreover, the papers do not mention arson.  The fire started in the basement of a
furniture warehouse, and newspapers say the cause was unknown.  Cristina Greene seems to bring up the possibility of arson, but
really offers no proof.  Even if it was arson, there was clearly no public riot involved.  There was a "race riot" in Durham during the war, but it was in 1943 not 1944 and involved an altercation at a state liquor store involving a soldier, and had nothing to do with the Spicely murder.
I know several old timers in the warehouse business and will ask them about the fire, which was indeed destructive.
I haven't yet found anything about Black reaction to the verdict, but the newspapers do not mention any violent reaction.

Talk:Political hip hop

message: This is a previous late January version which keeps getting reverted to, the opening paragraph to the whole article:  
Political hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop music that was developed in the 1980s as a way of turning hip hop into a form  of political activism. Political hip hop generally uses the medium of hip hop music to comment on sociopolitical issues and send political messages to inspire action, create social change, or to convince the listener of a particular worldview. It was inspired partially by politically-focused 1970s artists such as The Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron, as well as the Black Power movement and revolutionary politics of the 1960s and 1970s. Various hip hop artists emerged in the 1980s espousing political messages and providing social and political commentary, with the American group Public Enemy in particular establishing themselves as one of the first predominantly political hip hop groups. The genre has helped to create a new form of social expression for subordinate groups to speak about their exclusions, injustices, and lack of power.
Yet the two major albums putting the Political hip hop on the map in terms of artists doing it as their main style are KRS-One's with his album By All Means Necessary (1988) under his group Boogie Down Productions and It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back by Public Enemy also in 1988.  In the Wikipedia entry for KRS-One's By All Means Necessary it says: 
"The album (By All Means Necessary ) is widely seen as one of, if not the first, politically conscious efforts in hip-hop. AllMusic critic Steve Huey described the album as a landmark of political hip hop"
KRS-One along with Public Enemy are the primary influences on Political Hip Hop, of which in 1988 and beyond there would be a new trend of artists following in 1989 into the 90s and to an extent ongoing yet KRS-One's name is not even mentioned and Boogie Down Productions only once. I don't understand it. KRS-One was the main artist at the time theorizing about Hip Hop and focusing on social and political commentary for whole albums  not only in his music but in public appearances and interviews. His persona was "The Teacher" and he called his music "edutainment". I don't understand why he is getting under-represented on this article. This is Hip Hop 101,  it's not even a point of controversy and Chuck D has already acknowledged his influence in interviews.  Any book on the history of Hip Hop will says this. KRS One's By All Means Necessary  is widely seen as one of, if not the first, politically conscious efforts in hip-hop > Wikipedia And Grandmaster Flash's song the Message of 1982 is duly noted in the Origins and development sections of a conscious rap song before artists were known for their primary style and most songs being conscious or political. KRS and Chuck D paved the waved for this any music critic or Golden era Hip Hop artist will attest to this
