Talk:Greil Marcus/Archive 1

Untitled
A lot of words in this article are loaded. "Illuminated," "typically obscure"...it's a good article, but it's not encyclopædic. Gonna change that. 66.245.53.202 03:50, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

There are a lot of photos I took of him in the commonscat linked from the article. I'm not at all sure the one in the article is the best choice. If someone wants to pick one of the others, go for it. - Jmabel | Talk 02:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Adm. Halsey and Marcus' father
Under the heading "Life and career", it states "(Marcus') father died in the Philippine typhoon that sank the USS Hull, on which he was second-in-command, when his mother was three months pregnant.[3] Admiral William Halsey had ordered the Third Fleet to sail into Typhoon Cobra 'to see what they were made of'." The citation provided is to an article that Marcus himself wrote for an on-line journal. However, this account does not jibe with the information about Halsey or Typhoon Cobra, in their respective Wikis, where it makes the case that Halsey was simply misinformed about the location and strength of the typhoon, rather than attempting some testing of his mens' mettle. I don't have a dog in this race, but I think that the statement should either be backed up from reliable sources, removed, or couched as simply Marcus' opinion.
