{{US-poet-1940s-stub}}
sections, I found a second source on line (the PoetryNet blurb), and I
cited everything (so I removed the unsourced tag). I was glad to see
only that tag, BTW; it meant the page had been reviewed, and there
weren't problems with the notability guidelines. I can't do a thing
about the stub tag, though; there's just no other information I can
see to add.
CV stuff, like we have, but dated; but it did have the info that Jones
is an ex-Marine. So I put that in.
folks with plenty of details that could be added, if I could get them
interested in the idea.
don't have to be internet accessible, but it helps. Wiki is especially
sensitive when it comes to bios of living persons; I suppose there's
been libellous stuff posted there before. (Well, I'm sure there has; I
notice ~PJ Ross~ was an editor at one time.) If an uncited statement
about a living person is challenged, a wiki admin will delete it
without question.
Ah, here's some good news, which you can find in the article. Seaborn
won another poetry prize in 2010 -- this one is good for a book and a
$500 advance on royalties -- so he'll have a new book of poetry coming
out this year.
Surrealism, too, according to the judges' citation. I hope we won't
see any hilarious guillotines or anything like that. 8)
when I have time I'll investigate... right now, of course, the
Holidays are upon us...
