[edit] New Formalism

The article New Formalism has a bizarre history with several edit skirmishes about the list of names that should be included. As it stands one can't have much confidence in the information presented. DogsBreakfast 12:01, 22 February 2006 (UTC)


  • poetry movement (stub).
Where's the article? This looks like a stub. Has it been edited/whittled down to nothing? RJFJR 14:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
There was more of an article when I put it here a few hours ago ... recent edits I guess have removed the material that was causing the instability. Now it definitely looks like a stub. DogsBreakfast 16:29, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I will be looking at this page over the next little bit and making tweaks here and there. Please do not proceed with any content revisions until I am through. There are three objectives I can see with this page:

  • Cite resources
  • Cite published, notable poets
  • Cleanup

As it stands, I have never looked into New Formalism as a movement, but I will be doing a bit of research into the concept, as well as other areas of Wikipedia in which this may better stand. I suggest that anyone wanting to create change in this page first go out and find sources to verify yourself with. Neutral point-of-view does not mean "delete everything you disagree with," it just means edit until all sides of an issue are represented.

As it stands, there aren't really sides to worry about here. We just need verifiable facts. --Avery W. Krouse 20:01, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I have removed this entry from my desk. At this time, I do not care to do the fact checking required to bring this page up to code. I have relisted it on the CT page. My apologies. --Avery W. Krouse 04:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
