Talk:Chris and oratory

Topics

Does anyone have any ideas for what should be in this article? I really would like to discuss it with someone. I'd also like to have someone help me fix up this article.

• In response to your earlier question about fact-checking, the article looks okay. I think it needs more references/examples. For instance, here's a source for the claim on using big words - https://sonichu.com/cwcki/July_2016_Facebook_posts#.22I.27m_not_on_drugs.21.22. And this recent video of him addressing N. Korea has examples of repetition and having a muddled argument (bringing up his trans identity when talking about how the N. Koreans should pursue peace, or detouring to talk about his dad's war experience). Some of the article's sections could be tightened up through editing (does there need to be a separate section for activism? Seems like it could be folded into the public speaker section.) Regarding topics, maybe mention Message for John Kyle? That one's interesting because Chris tried to contact Cole by using J.K., by throwing up the video on YouTube and assuming Kyle would see it, and also for how he tries to guilt-trip Cole while simultaneously trying to get him to visit.

Title

Something seems wrong about the title. I know oration is a succinct way of saying public communication skills, but "Chris and Oration" just doesn't sound right to me. Can anyone come up with a better title? Saint-just (talk) 21:35, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Maybe “Chris and discourse” could work. PsychoNerd054 (talk) 01:40, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Good idea, could use "Chris and rhetoric", but rhetoric is just a discipline under discourse (However think rhetoric is a more recognisable term for spoken language). Saint-just (talk) 13:52, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

I like Chris and oration more than these alternatives. - klop (talk) 15:37, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
