Poul Anderson themes

I noticed you added two paragraphs to the Poul Anderson article about themes in his writings. If they are themes, it might be good to mention examples from more than one book. Just a thought. Liblamb 17:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

The First Men in The Moon

I was reading this article since I am doing a report on H.G. Wells and saw you added a bunch of analytical details which are great! I just wanted to say thanks and ask where you got them or are they your own ideas? Kramer k 07:53, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I just got it from the book itself, I think Wells meant his readers to read the book intelligently and not take at face value Bedford's judgement. By the way, if you make a report of Wells' work in general and not just this book, I would advice you to include his "The Shape of Things to Come" from 1934, which is often neglected and in my view unjustly.

In the Presence of Mine Enemies

I see that you are also working on In the Presence of Mine Enemies. Thanks very much for starting the expansion program and for helping me with it. The article is quite huge now though all it needs is a list of characters including real-world ones that appear. Should we start with that section. MyNz 04:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

HMS Sword

Thanks for the interesting text. Would you have a chance to add screenshot from Zeman's movie when Sword is flapping away from Nautilus?

HMS Sword is also name of at least one real historical ship: [1]. At some time tt may be good to move the fiction submarine under different name and create disambiguation. Pavel Vozenilek 17:03, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I could have expected this, "Sword" is a natural name for Englsih-speaking navies to use. I agree that this change should be made, the real ship should have some precedence over the fictional one. About the Zeman film: I am afraid I never saw it, only found some refernces to it on the internet. I have no way of adding film sequences to the page, if you can do it go ahead, it would be a nice addition. Adam keller 20:20, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

PS: I now read the interesting description which you found. If I understand correctly the first lines - "Rushmore (LSD-14) was laid down as HMS Sword 31 December 1943 by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Newport News, Va; launched as Rushmore 10 May 1944" it seems to meand that the Ameroican origianlly built her for the British who intended to call her "HMS Sword" but that in fact, for an unspecified reason, the Americans decided to keep her and call her "Rushmore", and that was the actual name she bore throughout a quite long career. So, in a way, this "HMS Sword" is as fictional as the other one. Adam keller 20:40, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I have seen Zeman's film couple of times (early Steampunk style, very good movie) but currently have no chance to get it on my machine. Will see.

HMS Sword: there was also "HMS Sword Dance", a WW1 minesweeper. I have no intention to work on British ships, it's just a result of quick googling. Pavel Vozenilek 14:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Taking look on Czech Wiki I discovered that just today someone put exactly the picture I had in mind into the article there. I added it into HMS Sword. You may notice mechanically powered "frog flaps" used to propel the ship (Nautilus used a classic propeller). Pavel Vozenilek 15:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Very good,that's the advantage of Wikipedia - you start something and then it gets a momentum of its own. I like this picture. Adam keller 15:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

There'll always be an england

There is a concern that the lyrics are a copyright violation. Are you able to show that they are out of copyright? Thanks.Mmoneypenny 08:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry,it did not even occur to me that there could be any such problem with a song which is more than sixty year old and whose text appears on HUNDREDS of websites. Here is what I found in exactly three minutes' search on Yahoo: [2],[3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8],[9]. If you go on searching you will find hundreds more (I would not be surprised if it will turn out to be thousands). Are all these people breaking the supposed copyright, and is somebody suing all of them for it? (It could provide several law offices with full employment for several years at least). Or are they all paying royalties (to whom)?

Of course, if turns out there is a real copyright you could wipe the text from the article itself and install instead an outside link to one or more of these websites. A very left-handed way for an encyclopedia to do things,in my view, but far be it from me to cause legal problems to Wikipedia.Adam keller 12:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Oshikawa sources

Hi, I wondered if you could divulge what your source(s) for your nice expansion of the Shunrō Oshikawa article were. Not only would it be nice to add them to the article for future readers, I'm curious as I'd like some more info on scifi of this period. --zippedmartin 00:09, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Most of the information is derived from the doctorate paper presented by Jeffrey M.Angles to the Ohio State University in 2003, which is availalble on the net. The paper is about Murayama Kaita and Edogawa Ranpo, who were Japanese writers of the generation immediately following Shunrō Oshikawa, and it contains several detailed references to him and footnotes giving the names and dates of his books.

I have tried to include a link to this dissertation in the Wikipedia page but it seems not to work - probably because of the program used there. If you could make it work it would be very useful. This is the address: http://www.ohiolink.edu/etd/send-pdf.cgi?acc_num=osu1071535574

It does work when you paste it directly into Google.

I can't claim to be any kind of expert on this subject myself, my only part was to search very hard for useful information, since I became very frustrated to see many mentions of later Twentieth Century film adaptations of his books and hardly any mention of the man himself.

The expert in this case is Jeffrey M.Angles, who seems to be living in Japan at present and is directing an email list about the shakuhachi, which seems to be a peculiarly Japanese musical instrument, difficult to play [10]. He clearly has enormous knowledge about Japanese subjects and I am sure if he could be persuaded to help Wikipedia he could contribute a lot. Adam keller 06:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information Adam, I guess I should have noticed the dissertation link in the article, but PDFs make me cry so I avoid looking at them unless I have to. Have downloaded now (and would suggest that you want to link http://www.ohiolink.edu/etd/view.cgi?osu1071535574 in the article, it's more polite than bouncing people to stealthed 10 meg blobs too), and see the issue. Though it does provide some good general info on the guy, it's a bit odd using it as a main source as it's really not about him at all. A bit of random searching turned up a possible additional source of "The Gender of Nationalism: Competing Masculinities in Meiji Japan" in the Winter 2002 issue of the Journal of Japanese Studies, which could perhaps be obtained by through Wikipedia:Newspapers and magazines request service and might provide some additional material. Beyond that, I could probably dig up some Japanese bits on the web, though probably nothing scholarly. Do have a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources though, following wikip house style tends to make life easier for readers and other editors like me who otherwise fail at noticing thing... :) --zippedmartin 07:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I see you have done some work on the article. Very good. Of course, I don't know Japanese, so my ability is far more limited. Of course, I should have realised that what got the Nihon SF Taisho award was a book and not a film. Stupid of me! Adam keller 21:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

---

You have started working on it months ago and never continued. But the parts you did add and which remain hidden from the reader are quite good, I would suggest uncovering them and making them available to whoever looks at the article. A pity to let that good work go to waste. Adam keller 12:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I got no response to the above, I am going now to unveil your added passages to the public view.Adam keller 14:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, had been busy with other things for a few months. Got slightly stuck on the Oshikawa article because there was just too much I couldn't find out. Biographies tend to try and be a roughly chronological account of an individual's life, and I just couldn't think of a sensible way to string the random bits of information that there was together in a sensible way. Might look at it again now, see if I can do any better. --zippedmartin 16:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Moshe Ayalon

A tag has been placed on Moshe Ayalon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Moshe Ayalon is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Moshe Ayalon. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. nadav 09:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

As advised, I looked through the Wikipedia guidelines for "notability", and I must say it is true that Moshe Ayalon does not fit most of them, because he is definitely not famous enough in the various ways enumerated there. (But I saw also that these guidelines are not binding.)

The only criteria which in my view jut might fit him is this: 100 year test (future speculation) -- In 100 years time will anyone without a direct connection to the individual find the article useful?"

My reasons for thinking this is applicable is - apart from the fact that I think Ayalon IS going to become famous, but of course I can't prove that - is that even if he never become more famous than he now is, he has a sharp and incisive mind, identifying real issues and dealing with them in an original way which nobody did before him, and writing with considerable literary merit. Re the above 100 year test", it is my opinion that for example a researcher of the Twenty-Second Century writing a doctorate about our time might find it useful to mention Moshe Ayalon in at least a footnote, which in my view is sufficiant reason for Wikipedia to retain the article.Adam keller 17:51, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

London Dock Strike of 1889

Hi Adam. I noticed that you added Category:Roman Catholic Church to the London Dock Strike of 1889 article, and I was curious as to your thinking. Is this because of the reference to Cardinal Manning, or is there more to the story? Cheers.--Bookandcoffee 16:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

If you will look at the addition I just made to the Dock Strike article you will see my reasons for thinking this is a significant event in Catholic history as well as in trade union history.Adam keller 23:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey, that was really interesting. Thanks. --Bookandcoffee 09:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Your edits to Hilaire Belloc

You marked your edit with "Reference to September 11 in the context of renewed popularity of Belloc's views and works on Islam is HIGHLY RELEVANT and I don't accept continued deletion of it." Unfortunately, that's how Wikipedia works. People edit continuously and someone may disagree with your edit. Instead of yelling at the editors who remove your reference to the September 11 attacks, perhaps you should bring it up on the talk page. Mapetite526 21:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

About the comments you left on Katieh5584's user page [11], user pages are not the correct place for user comments. I relocated it to her Talk page [12]. That is probably why you have not heard anything back from her. -- Gogo Dodo 19:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

List of Newspeak words#The problematic Doubleplus

Mormonism and Judaism

If you'd like to weigh in on the proposed split, I would welcome your view. Kaisershatner 17:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I have no real opinion on whether that article should or should not be split up. I did add a section entitled "Basic irreducible difference" stating some things which need to be mentioned on the Jewish point of view - whether this remains a single article or is split up. I think many Mormons might not fully appreciate that their accptance of Jesus might, in the Jewish view, quite outweigh any similarities that exist between their religion and Judaism. The Jewish negative attitude to Jesus is mainly due to the nasty doings of much earlier Christians, long before the rise of the Latter Day Saints (doings which were certainly contrary to the teachings of Jesus himself as expressed in the New Testament). But whatever its origin, this Jewish attitude is a fundmental fact which must be taken into account.Adam keller 12:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Polish Corridor

Hi, Adam.
I'm writing to you because I have troble understanding the importance of those huge fragments of H.G. Wells "The Shape of Things to Come" (or any metion of his opinion on the subject for that matter) being inserted into the article about the Polish Corridor. Many people of the era - politicians, militarists, historians and ethnographers - wrote about the post WW I Polish German borders. Yet you chose the opinion of a science-fiction writer to occupy most of the article space. Why is it so important to you? (And if it's so important, then maybe it deserves it's own article). Because he predicted WW II? But he "predicted" an international conflict lasting till late 60's resulting in death of over 90% of the Earth's population. Although many people died in WW II it still ended 1945. I don't know if you are aware that Jehovah's Witnesses "predicted" World War One. Does that make all their reasoning true? Are you going to believe everything else they say because of that?
Another important thing:
Was resolving the Polish Corridor question the German way really going to stop the war?
First demand of Hitler after which he promised peace was reintroduction of military conscription.
Then remilitarization of Rhineland.
Then incorporation of Austria.
Then incorporation of Bohemia and creation of Protectorate.
All those demands were met.
At the same time he already started big scale dicrimination of the Jewish population of Germany.
But again nobody did anything. Makes one wonder if it perhaps wasn't the weakness and undecisiveness of other countries, and their lack of any response to Hitler's actions that caused WW II.
(Speaking of predictions: Polish leader Józef Piłsudski in 1934 also predicted the danger of the Nazi ruled Germany and proposed a preemptive strike to Great Britain and France, but nobody did anything.)
This is of course my humble opinion, everybody has a right to have one, Science-Fiction writers too.
In conclusion - I don't think the inclusion of Mr Wells' opinion (accompanied by a ton of quotes or not) into the article has any constructive purpose. I may be wrong of course. For now I'm going to remove the disputed paragraphs from the article. Maybe a better place for them would be the article about the book, I don't know. I'm open for discussion, though. Happy editing! Space Cadet 00:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Certainly, by 1939 the Polish Corridor was no more than an excuse for Hitler and if it was not there he would have found another excuse. The point which Wells tried to make was that this - and the entire Versailles Agreement of which it was a prominent part - contributed greatly to Hitler getting power in Germany in the first place. The relevant thing for the Wikipedia article is that it gives in detail the arguments why creation of the Polish Corridor was justified, but not one word of the opposing arguments, which is not NPOV. (I get the feeling that at least some parts of the article were written by partiotic Poles, which is all right as long as theirs is not the only point of view represented.) Wells, though nowadays remembered mainly as a Science Fiction writer, was also very much of a political writer, and actually the book quoted (like much of his later writing) is more a political essay dressed up as science fiction than a true SF book. I felt that Wells presented in a logical and cogent way the case against the Polish Corridor, and that he could not be accused of pro-Nazi bias (the Nazis burned his books and placed him on the list of people to be immediately liquidated in the event of a succesful invasion of Britain). Perhaps I was too lazy in just copying and pasting the text which is available online (and which I think is well-written) and I should have just extracted the main counter-arguments and placed them in the same format as the arguments in favor of the Polish Corridor.Adam keller 17:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I buy that. Space Cadet 20:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

My reply is on my talk page. Balcer 18:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Bring the Jubilee

Adam, I was wondering whether your comments on the more recent trilogy are appropriate in an encyclopedia article. The words "seems to" suggest that this is one reader's interpretation. In order to validate this, we need something less subjective. A statement from one of the authors would be ideal. A published book review might be good enough; we could at least say "according to so-and-so."

If it's just your own interpretation, I grant that it's an interesting one, but there are many other places on the Internet where it should appear rather than Wikipedia. -- Rob C (Alarob) 02:38, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

The trilogy starts from the same premise as the Moore book and then goes off in an opposite direction. That is an objective fact which can be determined from just looking at their respective plots. I have no direct proof that it was consciously intended as such by the authors of the trilogy, and in theory you might suppose it is a pure coincidence. Still, the fact that it was published precisely fifry years after the Moore book (1953 and 2003) plus the fact that the Moore book is a classic in the subgenre of Civil War alternate history, which is likely to be known to anybody writing new books of the kind, seems to be at least "circumastantial evidence".

Prabowo: an explanation

Re Prabowo I didn't really look at it yet and will get back to you soon. I removed the pov tag simply because a vandal had hijacked the template and it was showing an obscene picture. This has been happening a bit lately and when I went to report it others had also found it on other articles. Great work and I will get back to you soon. THe person who reverted my removal of the tag was the person who fixed up the vandalised template.Merbabu 01:55, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

ha ha. I see you approached the editor in question. I replied on his page to both of you. Click here: [13]. Merbabu 02:03, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

further...

Your work improved the article a fair bit. I did some work on the Prabowo article, but i think it is still a problem. Generally, in my opinion much of the content is unsourced opinion. Although it is opinion I personlly agree with, it is not quite up to encyclopedia quality. I made some comments here. Hopefully you or I or both can revisit the article soon. regards Merbabu 03:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Adam, the best place I can suggest for good sources is a library - ha ha. As for the internet, non spring to mind straight away but my recommendation is for something academic and scholarly. On such a controversial figure like Prabowo, there is bound to be a lot of sensationalist but poor quality sites around. I have a new book called Indonesian Destinies by Theodore Friend that has a lot of Prabowo refs in the index. But Prabowo is far from my wiki priority at the moment. How about you post a message in this board here asking for ideas: [14]. In the meantime, i will try but not promise to see what is in that book. Maybe in the meantime have a look at what can be found in google. I find though that the best journal sources are "locked" in online databases which one must either pay for or have a subscription. Merbabu 14:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I quite agree that a library is the best place to look. Unfortunatly, I don't see any reason to assume that I would have a chance to visit a library in the next two or three months (at a conservative restimate). I have a quite busy life, I can do things on Wikipedia in odd feww moments in between a big load of other work done on the computer, often late at night. I have no practical possibility to go and spend hours travelling to and from the Tel-Aviv University Libarary (the nearest worthwhile university to my home) and many more hours doing serious research in the library - much as I would have loved doing it for this and may other subjects. In practical terms, I am restricted to whatcan be located online. Will try to take yur advice and posst arequest for help at [15].Adam keller 14:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Act of Free Choice and West Papuan history

Thank you for your edits and updates to the Sarwo Edhie Wibowo article, I have updated the 'Act of Free Choice'. You will find addition information and links to various source references from http://wpik.org , and in the Introduction text of that page you will see a linked quote from the US Dept. of State Summary "pro-Indonesia group at the White house" - on that page you will find some preliminary information about the three gentlemen in question. Elsewhere in the Kit you will find a listing of New York Times articles about Indonesia and its efforts to gain West Papua, as well as many other reports by various groups. I would greatly appreciate if you could help update various Wikipedia articles with more concise and informative edits. Thank you for your efforts. Andrew.58.107.15.245 00:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

BTW: in addition to the 1961 Netherlands report to the United Nations under 73e of the UN Charter; the 1960 and 1959 reports also available, originally copied from Otto's copies published at http://www.papuaweb.org/dlib/ 58.107.15.245 04:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately Merbabu has struck again, deleting the below from the article.

I have no specific issue with the text - in fact, i barely read it. My point is there is no references. Yes, I know Indonesia articles are on the whole extremely poorly referenced and this is one of the wikipedia fundamentals. But that is no reason to continue adding unreferenced material. Isn't it easier to add the references as you go rather than expect someone else to do it after you. By removing (what can be replaced anyway) i figured it might inspire you to put in some citations and preferably from an academic source rather than a political/advocacy/govt (or anything else with possible dual interests). As for "striking again", if you have an issue, I am always happy to discuss. IMO, there is no need to whisper behind my back, so to speak. Merbabu 13:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

"Act of Free Choice"

Once secured as President in 1968, one of the matters which Suharto turned to was the West New Guinea territory. Although attempted military invasions had been repelled by local villagers in the New Guinea highlands and a small Papuan naval force; during 1962 Whitehouse advisors McGeorge Bundy, Robert Komer, and Walt Rostow convinced President Kennedy the Indonesian threat to adopt communism could only be halted by coercing the Netherlands to sign the New York Agreement trading West New Guinea to Indonesian control; the initial Indonesian administration disbanded the elected West New Guinea Council, installed 10,000 troops for enforcement of Indonesian rule, outlaw the national Morning Star flag and anthem, and began renaming the territory from its elected title of West Papua to Irian Barat, Irian Jaya, and (in 2000) Papua before then dividing the territory into smaller completeing fractions. Although United Nations resolutions required Self-determination without delay in 1962 the New York Agreement instead called for an 'Act of Free Choice' in seven years time; although Indonesia in 1966 announced it would not allow the Papuan people a vote, subsequent to Suharto establishing his control his first foreign mining license was sold to the Freeport corporation in 1967 for West New Guinea's gold and copper reserves, in 1968 it was decided Sarwo Edhie Wibowo should arrange a display of Papuan approval for Indonesian sovereignty of their territory in what would also be called the 'Act of Free Choice'. Sarwo Edhie was transferred to West Irian to become the Commander of KODAM XVII/Cendrawasih both crushing Papuan democracy and political groups and selecting Papuans to represent the Indonesian decision that the Papuan people should accept Indonesian sovereignty.

Your stub for Golden Hours

On November 3, 2006 you created the stub article Golden Hours (magazine), but I believe you confused it with the children's magazine Golden Argosy, started by Frank Munsey in 1882. That children's magazine became Argosy (magazine), and magazine for adults. The children's magazine Golden Hours: A Magazine for Boys and Girls was a religious periodical published between 1869 and 1880. Would you have any objection if I changed the article to show the contents of the actual Golden Hours magazine? Karenthewriter (talk) 18:07, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
