message: According to this page, Juan de Salcedo, a Spanish conquistador, traced the northern coastline of Luzon on the 29th of June, 1583. This is in consistent with his Wikipedia page, wherein it is stated that he died on the 11th of March, 1576. He would have never been able to trace the northern coastline of Luzon if he had died that early. Which of these are true? Is this the correct Juan de Salcedo, perhaps?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlod (talk • contribs) 02:21, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Redburn

message: Melvilles Redburn depicts a well bred young American 'Sallying Forth' with all the challenges of Youth into the Workaday World. But it is difficult to read the Book and think of Melville as suffering indignity heaped on indignity. As a young American, Melville lived well in comparison to most English people at that time. His chief 'tormentor' was the sarcastic Jackson, who took pleasure in arranging humiliating situations for the young New Yorker, such as when he goaded Melville into paying his compliments to the Captain. That Melville was shocked by his voyage to Liverpool is without doubt, but his worst experiences are not recorded in Redburn. One incident that was to forever haunt Melville was when he found a young Irish Mother dieing in the street. The teenage New Yorker ran to a Liverpool Policeman and told him of the Irish Mother with her baby starving and death. The Policeman thought the young American a real eccentric for being concerned about such a vagrant and gave no help. For a day or two Melville carried cups of water and what food he could to the sad woman. One day when he called to help her he found a pile of Quicklime piled in a heap over the dead body of the woman and her baby.Johnwrd (talk) 01:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:White-Jacket

message: 69.117.243.181 (talk) 04:33, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

message: We long ago had a discussion of Melville's books before Moby-Dick, and agreed they were not novels, and in this case,
Howard Vincent's The Tailoring of White-Jacket is pretty clear. Searching on the Internet Archive copy found these hits:
*Page 33  "Not a novel, White-Jacket has neither a strong central hero around whom a continuous and developing action is built, nor consequently any similar sort of villain."
*Page 60 "Structurally, White-Jacket is built as a documentary and not as a novel; the narrator serves more as guide than as creator..."
*Page 108 "White-Jacket, then, is disjunctive, spasmodic, but this disturbs only when the reader demands or expects what Melville never intended to write — a novel."
I'm sure that there are later references to it as a novel, certainly as partly fiction, and including it in the Wikipedia Novel Project is useful, but Vincent is speaking directly to the question from Melville's point of view, so in a while I will take out or paraphrase the references to "novel".ch (talk) 20:27, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Israel Potter

message: Melville's novel was adapted for the stage by Joe Bravaco and Larry Rosler as The Almost True and Truly Remarkable Adventures of Israel Potter, American Patriot. As few as six actors perform over sixty parts on a unit set - as such, the play easily lends itself to imaginative stagecraft and diverse and gender-bending casting.  It is not a conventional period piece, but a show with a contemporary spin. It is suggested that actors dress in rehearsal clothes, using makeshift props and articles of clothing to evoke the period and characters. This highlights the physical and rollicking action of the play, as well as the deep, emotional current underneath its surface that speaks to our time. 
The play's had its professional world premier at the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in Meredith, New Hampshire in 2016. A workshop production was presented by the drama department at County College of Morris, Randolph, New Jersey.
: The description makes the impression of being promotional language. No sources are cited. It is not even clear if this is really an adaptation of Melville's work, it may well be an adaptation of his source, the story of the real Israel Potter.

Talk:New Jersey Route 27

message: Maybe someone can creatively come up with a simple manner of clearing up the matter of Route 27 in Elizabeth.  Route 27 travels through many streets in this city.  It travels (southward) from Newark Ave to North Broad Street, then heads west on Westfield Ave.  The route then heads south again on Chilton St. until it reaches Rahway Ave. It heads west on Rahway Ave where it crosses the Roselle/Linden border.  Rahway Ave. becomes St. Georges Avenue at this point.

message: * Needs deletion completely.
This is a ridiculous article and a bogus theatre. The only battle in the campaign was against Indians and not between the Union or rebels. The battles in Arizona cannot in any way be considered part of this theatre, which is why I removed them from the category. They are part of the Trans-Mississippi theatre. Arizona is a landlocked state, the Pacific Ocean obviously does not border Arizona. Sure I know Arizona is by few considered a Pacific Coast state but here in Arizona, where I am sitting and typing now, we do not consider this desert part of the Pacific Coast. I will continue to delete the "Pacific Coast theatre" category from the Arizona civil war battle pages. It is completely ridiculous to say the Battle of Picacho Pass has anything to do with the Pacific, the same can be said of the other engagements in Arizona.--Az81964444 (talk) 05:14, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The United States government (National Parks service) recognizes the battle as part of the Pacific campaign, that is why it was listed there.XavierGreen (talk) 01:46, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

text: I should note that this was a specific command as administered by the U.S. War Department.  While it was certainly a backwater theater and didn't see much action other than moving troops around the western USA, it did have a role in the U.S. Civil War.  Deletion, and a call for deletion, are unfounded.  I sure hope this is never followed through even if you dismiss the notions of theaters as defined by the National Parks Service.  As to if Arizona was considered a part of this command, that can be debated.  Primarily it covered the north-western part of the USA mostly west of the Rocky Mountains, and included Nevada, Utah, California, Oregon, and "Washington Territory" which later became what is today Idaho, Montana, and of course Washington state.  Arizona and New Mexico were a sort of interesting and unique case in its own right, and certainly has some interesting history given the dynamics of what was happening at the time... arguably an independent theater in its own right.  --Robert Horning (talk) 02:54, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I was very familiar with this area in that my rifle company, Charlie Company, 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry (9th Infantry Division) was assigned just to the Northwest (same grid square, just east of Long Thanh on highway QL 15) of this location at a French rubber plantation, Ap Binh Son.  We encountered a VC battalion-sized unit in the area (gathering food from the local Vietnamese villagers who were VC sympathizers and who worked for the French plantation owneres) for their unit from the hamlet (Ap Binh Son) and surprised them just before the Tet counteroffensive in 1968.  Australian units were still operating in that area from their base in Vung Tau.  Indeed, we exchanged officers with them and I had an Australian lieutenant as a platoon leader for about a month.
