Added further notes and citations for reference.TonyCrew 23:35, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Replaced dead link with new open link & added further notes/citations and a photograph of book cover for the Ways of White Folks, 1934.TonyCrew 00:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Setting up archives
- Hi all Langston Hughes editors, After reverting some vandalism to this talk page I decided to follow wiki protocol regarding archiving talk pages, because the talk page was getting rather long (>32K). The archive box should be pretty self-explanatory. --lquilter 18:57, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of Spam Link & Quote
Removed quotes added. There is a Wikiquote page containing quotes by Hughes. Moreover, link given from where quotes were taken is a spam link.TonyCrew 04:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
The level of vandalism to the stability and integrity of this article has become to severe. I have requested simi-protection of the article. I do not know if the request will be granted, but it didn't hurt to ask.TonyCrew 05:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Considering the level of vandalism, more than the Ernest Hemingway article that has received semi-protection, I hoped this article could get "semi-protection." This was declined. Those of you who vandal patrol and other, thank you for your efforts and for allowing me to show my appreciation on you talk pages.TonyCrew 05:48, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Replaced information deleted by user Cptbuck as any search will prove the error of deletion.TonyCrew 08:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sexual Orientation
I hardly think that Hughes' orientation, closeted or not, belongs under "trivia." MJFiorello 02:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Created the category of Visual Media where the sexuality of Hughes is also noted. More, made more specific his role and involvement in the Spainish Civil War where he was only a correspondent.TonyCrew 19:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Added documentary film to Visual MediaTonyCrew 20:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photograph
Repositioned picture of Hughes' home due to Visual Media being moved to better position in article. This should improve the aesthetics of the article.TonyCrew 00:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Infobox for Writers
User Emerson7, please, the infobox follows wiki guidelines for writers. Adding "expressed age" upon Hughes' death is not necessary. His age the day he died is already included in article.TonyCrew 05:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
i love this mans poetry
