Fake bio, asserts notability, verifiably false -- neither Philip Glass nor John Cage are secretly a Bostonian woman named Ria Fulton Jkelly 00:56, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment You’re not supposed to scare away new users by calling them childish. I took Fulton’s class at Sloan, The Laguna Beach Love Triangle and Communism. She was very secretive; she lectured from behind a screen and used some sort of voice modulator. Nevertheless her insights were profound. Today’s culture is not taken seriously by many modern scholars; it is refreshing to see Fulton’s open-mindedness showcased here on Wikipedia.
  • Keep At the opening of Memorial Hall in Chapel Hill this weekend (September 10, 2005) Itzhak Perlman spotted a member of Fulton’s entourage, Nat Shelness, in the audience. During intermission Perlman approached Shelness and asked about Fulton, who was listening to the concert from the Royal Box. Perlman was admitted to the box and invited Fulton to perform. Reluctantly, Fulton agreed to perform Bach’s Double Concerto. Fulton performed from behind a screen. Leonard Slatkin dropped his baton in amazement during the first movement. Fulton’s papers are kept under lock and key, they will be published posthumously at her request, at the Southern Historical Collection in the Wilson Library at UNC-Chapel Hill. She is also discussed at length in one of Gerald Moore’s autobiographies, of course he doesn’t refer to her by her name. -Dylan Roberts, Poet Laureate of the Judith Oakley Institute for the Advancement of the English Language.
  • Delete, obviously, as hoax. All these sockpuppets are freaking me out. Sdedeo 19:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment All these people who stay inside all day and watch the Fulton page are freaking me out. Keep your comments objective Sdedo.
  • Keep I am writing a book on the folklore and mystery surrounding Fulton’s life. My agent is in contact with Simon and Schuster, Little, Brown, and Bantam. The book should be published at the end of the year under the title, Fulton: A Life Under Glass. I am also preparing an article for Harper’s on Fulton. Walter G. Pressman, III, Project for the Appreciation of Innovative Thinkers, Amsterdam.
  • Keep Did none of you read Fulton's "A Call for Pacifism" in The New York Review of Books? I'm frankly appalled. -Dada45
  • Keep Obviously reality.
  • Delete. Funny, but the Pulitzer Prize website makes no mention of this lady as having won their prize in 1986 or any other year. And all Google hits for her seem to indicate that she is, or at least was in 2004, a high school girl in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:16, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I’m still crying from Fulton’s performance at Memorial Hall. Thad Thompson.
  • Keep I took Fulton's class at Sloan, The Laguna Beach Love Triangle and Communism, she is a brilliant woman.
