User page deleted

Hi. I've deleted the page for you. For future reference, speedy deletion criterion U1 is the relevant one. Cheers, Olaf Davis (talk) 16:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, I will use the correct method the next time.--Radh (talk) 08:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Henry Voth

Would you know whether Voth had something interesting to say on linguistic relativity?Hpvpp (talk) 22:06, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

On the face of it no, I do not think so, not in direct statements, but he wrote a lot (more than is cited in the article), so maybe hidden somewhere are some philosophical statements. But I think his faithful rendering of ceremonies, his learning of the language has to mean "structurally" that he was taken with the Hopi view of the universe. He def. took it seriously, even if he was a faithful Christian and will have believed in the supremacy of his own beliefs. It is a bit strange that the linguistic work of evangelical or Jesuit missionaries all over the world (and this holds true even today with Kenneth L. Pike's people) is (and was vastly) superior to that of most anthropologists, with exceptions of course. Malotki speaks highly of Voth in German language essays, I will try to give details.--Radh (talk) 07:24, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Negri

I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly. In any case, everything should be sourced. That immediately solves a whole class of problems. —Zujine|talk 12:44, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

By the way, I just put a series of sources on that page that you may wish to refer to and incorporate into the article. —Zujine|talk 14:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, I will have a look at it and will try to find out more about the Negri - Moro thing, I'll be glad to help with the Antonio Negri, but have to finish some difficult WP translations first.--Radh (talk) 14:56, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

I will be sticking around on the Negri piece, so I'm sure I'll see you there. —Zujine|talk 04:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

German WP user CXK, de: Benutzer: Cxk, knows all about the Red Brigades and stuff; but he has not been active for a very long time. Google says historian Angelo Ventura wrote about Negri's 1970s Autonomista activities and that Negri hates him (and Flavio Zanonato, who has also criticised Negri) for it.--Radh (talk) 07:04, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

On photographer Paul Böhm

Hi, thank you for your reply. The only thing I know is of the two image files published in France in a catalogue of the exhibition of Armenian carpets. You may see the files at:

[1]

and in the article Armenian carpet that I work at the time.

The photographs were published as post cards as the Wikipedia checker wrote. I need this information to find out if the publication may violate the copyright. I was sure that it might not, because it was published in France and there is an on-line publication of the catalogue. But I am afraid the checker of Wikipedia will delete the images.

Thank you in advance for any assistance. Best wishes, --Zara-arush (talk) 22:21, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

I am interested in old photography, so... But I am afraid it will be very difficult on the web. --Radh (talk) 06:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, I wrote e-mail to both museums. I hope they will reply, I will write you, what they will answer. Thanks again. Best wishes, --Zara-arush (talk) 02:07, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Please do and if I find anything on Munich photographers I'll let you know.--Radh (talk) 05:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

SPK and IZRU

I didn't write that IZRU has nothing to do with SPK, what I wrote was that IZRU was not SPK, not even its continuation. One proof: In the IZRU is lacking the word Patient. Have you ever read the book SPK indeed - What the SPK really did and said[2]? --PepitoPerez2007 (talk) 18:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

I haven't, thanks for the tip, will check it out. I can see your point about SPK and IZRU. It seems there was continuitiy and discontinuitiy at the same time, any break will have a lot to do with external factors like prison sentences and the RAF.--Radh (talk) 05:56, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

European Review of Native American Studies

Makes perfect sense. Any chance you could start a European Review of Native American Studies article describing the journal? Vizjim (talk) 07:58, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd love to (just off my head and I have not seen all volumes): It was a rather thin magazine (no ads) (DIN A4) with essays from European and American Historians, Ethnohistorians, Ethnologists, about a) European anthropologists, artists, travellers in Northamerica (mostly 19th century) or European adventures of "Natives" . Or, b) European contributions to Native American Studies now. And each number had an exhaustive bibliography of new Native American material in European journals and books.

At least: vol 1(1) 1987 to vol. 21:1 (2007) Some contributors beside Christian F. Feest (eg on Le Moyne), Mark Gidley, Pieter Hovens, Wolfgang Haberland, Armin W. Geertz (Hopi), Ekkhart Malotki (Hopi), R. D. Theisz, William K. Powers, Peter Bakker (on Basque loans; a Creolist), J. C. H. King, Bernd Peyer

"You might want to learn the language"

Your remark was uncivil and uncalled-for. It also demonstrates an inability to take criticism — in this case from a professional journalist and editor. Incivility, rudeness, snarkiness and sarcasm are not helpful on Wikipedia. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:39, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

And what's really curious is that you indeed rewrote the garbled sentence with your next edit. I'm not really sure, then, why you felt the need to be insulting. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:41, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Your editing remark was rude and uncivil in the first place. And isn't it strange how arrogant Wikipedians - who in their vast majority cannot write three correct German words in a row when posting on German-Wikipedia - are about their language abilities.--Radh (talk) 07:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Ashbery

Thanks for your edits to John Ashbery. I wonder if you would have a great source we could add. Thanks Span (talk) 23:30, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Sorry, I took this from the great "W.S. Burroughs community": Reality Studio. There are more pages on this site about Ashbery, Locus Solus and Art and Literature.--Radh (talk) 07:29, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Paul Robeson

Please do not make personal attacks against other editors, as you did here. Try to comment on content, not on the contributor.

I hope you apologize to Catherine. It may seem difficult to work with her, but there was no need to call her an idiot.

You may wish to consider asking for more eyes on the article. WP:NPOV/N might be an appropriate venue. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 03:02, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Anybody who thinks live in Stalin's Russia to have been better (for the common people?) than in Europe today or the USA then or now is an xxx. But I will keep my opinions to myself.--Radh (talk) 06:34, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Paul Robeson

Please see WP:NPOV/N#Paul Robeson and related articles. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 22:57, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I totally agree with you. (I can also understand your criticism of me and I will stay out of C. H.'s hair).--Radh (talk) 07:26, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I have heard of Lustiger a few years back, when he was still alive in Frankfurt. What does he say in his book about Robeson? Str1977 ^(talk) 18:01, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't know exactly, but he seems to stress that Robeson met Feffer against the odds.--Radh (talk) 18:06, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Paul Robeson

Hello, I recollect that you commented on NPOV and other issues in articles on Paul Robeson. If you are interested, could you please have a look at and comment on my recent overhaul of the article. Cheers! Str1977 ^(talk) 10:36, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Will try.--Radh (talk) 10:45, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

All very interesting, Radh, but I don't think that this adds anything to the article. And right now, it is more important to even defend the most basic standards of neutrality. Please help in that. Str1977 ^(talk) 15:13, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

No, the article is large enough as it is. @Article and ideology: I will try to be mostly defensive there for the time being, and point to the weaknesses of the pro R. side.--Radh (talk) 15:29, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't understand your reply. I did not say the article should be enlarged, as it really is big enough. But you can't be unaware of the things CH is doing. We do not point out the weaknesses of the pro-R. side as that is a valid view that needs to be in the article - but only one among many. Pointing out weakness while CH runs roughshot over the article and dozens of WP policies is not the way to go. Str1977 ^(talk) 15:35, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

To my mind, CH is just like a spoiled kid. She is simply always right and, regardless of any arguments or evidence, all have to come around to her point of view or else. But as no admin is willing to do something about it...--Radh (talk) 16:02, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Sure. But her objection to the "unsourced fiction" of PR's religious views goes beyond anything yet encountered. Str1977 ^(talk) 00:35, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but she seems to have solid backing in the admin-community. The strange thing is: she has her own blog and there her texts look OK (the same articles). In blogs, strange ideas, ravings, UFOs, are to be tolerated, not here of course. Another question: are her Wikipedia entries (or is her blog) problematic in terms of copyright-violation? --Radh (talk) 08:39, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Could you link me to that blog?

Re Copyright, I don't think as of yet her edits on Robeson were violations BUT here and there she was approaching to that level. Str1977 ^(talk) 09:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

[4]. Copyright violations or not, she is a fanatic. A link on her page is to a Robeson group calling him The 20th century greatest Renaissance Man! A football star, a good actor and not-that-brilliant-film actor, pop singer, and political idiot. Sometimes I wonder why Americans pay for college through their noses. PS: Jack Hirschman, another Renaisance Man and also much honored (translated young Stalin's poems) [5]--Radh (talk) 10:28, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Radh:I removed any mention of my blog awhile ago from here which means you had to act like the stalker you are and carefully go through the history of my user page. UFO's ? WTF are you talking about? I went to Uni in the UK so keep your catty, fake observations in yourself.Catherine Huebscher (talk) (contribs) 6:34, 13 December 2010(PST)

Other Beats to San Fran?

I think you may have filled out how Ginsberg got to SF, with date (cool) - but what about the others? A hole there. Can you fill it out - maybe with a source? Thanks.Tao2911 (talk) 01:32, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

The key year seems to be 1953: Ginsberg heads out west to the Cassadys. Burroughs goes to Tangiers. Kerouac stayed behind first; but was in San Jose, where the Cassadys lived at the end of 1953; he had visited before, Cassady got him a job there once. And Kerouac often stayed in Mexico City, ofen at Burroughs' "adobe rooftop hut" at 212?/210? Orizaba Street. In 1955 K. came from the East Coast via Mexico (with Garver; Burroughs was away; in Tangiers?) for the Six Gallery reading. In Mexico City, in the summer of 1955 he was with Dave Tercero's widow Esperanza Villanueva. Mexico City Blues (150 choruses; six notebooks)

Kerouac "discovered" Buddhism in the San Jose public library in December, 1953: Dwight Goddard: Buddhist Bible from 1932. K. wrote part of Some of the Dharma (Viking, 1997). Book of Dreams (11 notebooks, 1,955 pages, finished 1960; published in part 1961)

Rexroth introduced Gary Snyder to Ginsberg. Kerouac met Snyder (via G.?) before the reading and was close to him for a while. Snyder is a central figure in The Dharma Bums (set in Northern California; written from March to late 1957, publ. 1958), Desolation Angels, Vanity of Duluoz, Big Sur. Alan Watts and Michael McClure are in some of those (not in Vanity of Duluoz). Lamantia is in Dharma Bums, Desolation Angels and Tristessa; Philip Whalen in Dharma Bums, also Lew Welch. And there was this time in Ferlinghetti's cabin in Big Sur, which must have been bad. Poets only in "Big Sur" (1962): Ferlinghetti, Leonore Kandel, Albert Saijo.

Kerouac met the eight years younger Snyder (then 25) first in September 1955. He is at the basis of The Dharma Bums (based on their - monthlong?- stay in Mill Valley in spring 1956?) and of Desolation Angels (begun on Mount Baker; publ. 1965). K. spent two months in complete isolation on Desolation Peak, in the Mount Baker National Forest, Washington State, just below the Canadian border. Snyder had left for Japan in May 1956. K. around May 56 met Creeley (and Dorn?) for the first time.

Albert Saito, Lew Welch and Kerouac later went from San Francisco to Long Island (Trip-Trap; 1998)

Burroughs had wanted to come to San Francisco, when Ginsberg was there, but G. wanted him not to. Corso came in 1956 as far as I know, they all left for Tangiers the next summer. [I must check this stuff].

One problem with sources is that nearly all of the basic books on the Beats are not available on google books. So somebody who does not life far from any useful library (poor old me) will have to check them up later.

--Radh (talk) 07:28, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

fed-up with K.

I must say I have had a bit of an overdose of unexpurgated K. today - a bit heavy on the women are c**** side.--Radh (talk) 11:17, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Cyclops

Looked at your German development page and got the rough Eng translation version to read. I can barely remember Cyclops but did some work on the UK aspect of Underground Comix on Wiki where it is mentioned. I can look in Sabin and a couple of other ref books. Obviously I know more about Nasty Tales and Cozmic, much more visible. The Malcolm McNeill project I learned about much later, a friend of mine has been in touch with him regarding a possible exhibit in the UK Altcult101 (talk) 17:35, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I couldn't find more on the net. --Radh (talk) 17:42, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Wiegand

Seems like we have a date conflict. The Smithsonian and the gallery that represents her estate say 1932. Exiles from a Future Time says 1934. I guess we have to say both and add the ref for Wald's book. Sean.hoyland - talk 14:26, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Anne Green

Per your comment at Julien Green, i determined that she was easily notable enough for her own article, and moved the disambig page to make room for her having the article name Anne Green. Please feel free to expand my ridiculously small stub if you have more info, esp. print references.
