[edit] Location
This edit says that Milosz now lives in California; this edit says that Milosz now lives in Poland. Robert Hass says California; Kraków says Poland. Which is correct? --Paul A 02:01, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

- "In 1961 he became a Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of California, Berkeley, where he now is a Professor Emeritus." --Paul A 08:43, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- It makes sense for him to be returning to his homeland now that he's retired. I called his Berkeley office (+1 (510) 642-1535) and no one picked up. --Jiang 20:46, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

- So, being a Professor Emeritus at a university doesn't necessarily mean that one is actually at the university, then? The wording could do with some work. "...at the University of California, Berkeley, where he now is..." holds a clear implication, to my mind. --Paul A 02:31, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
Retired professors are appropriately referred to as "Professor Emeritus". We could, however, do without the fancy wording.--Jiang 02:46, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
How is his name pronounced? --Tothebarricades.tk 01:26, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Check the article now, I added both IPA key and .ogg file, hope you like it. :) Halibutt 08:43, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Nobel prize
I think someone should clearly state which book he won the Nobel prize for in the first paragraph, since it isn't very clear.
[edit] Degree
Czesław Miłosz graduated from Vilnius University in 1933. In 1989 he was awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University. Pray, there is a difference between the two! (I went ahead and corrected it). -- 198.36.32.29 13:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC) pl:user:Bmucha
[edit] School
If he founded a school of Polish poetry, what is that school called, when did it form, who is a member, etc? Hyacinth 23:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Although he did not speak Lithuanian,"
According to this article, he spoke fluent Lithuanian. heqs 08:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- The article is wrong. I have that on the best authority: from the horse's own mouth. logologist|Talk 08:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Since Mr. Ed is dead, and so is Milosz, that statement will be difficult to disprove. Dr. Dan 14:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Isn't that original research? heqs 03:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Heqs, that particular editor has a history of manipulating WP much worse than OR. Dr. Dan 03:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yesterday. And when did you try to abide by it for the last time? If ever? //Halibutt 17:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
