[edit] Newspaper Correction

From the Guardian "In our profile of Daniel Dennett (pages 20 to 23, Review, April 17), we said he was born in Beirut. In fact, he was born in Boston. His father died in 1947, not 1948. He married in 1962, not 1963. The seminar at which Stephen Jay Gould was rigorously questioned by Dennett's students was Dennett's seminar at Tufts, not Gould's at Harvard. Dennett wrote Darwin's Dangerous Idea before, not after, Gould called him a "Darwinian fundamentalist". Only one chapter in the book, not four, is devoted to taking issue with Gould. The list of Dennett's books omitted Elbow Room, 1984, and The Intentional Stance, 1987. The marble sculpture, recollected by a friend, that Dennett was working on in 1963 was not a mother and child. It was a man reading a book."

Found Poetry? --154.20.161.143 04:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

The extended examples included in this article give the impression that found poetry is trivial. In truth, the use of found texts is a major device in new poetry. I want to include some serious examples of found poetry here. 27 Dec. 2006.

Comment: I read this article several times over and I still don't know what found poetry is. if someone could clarify it more i think it would greatly improve the article. --Tainter 03:40, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] If I recruited you

If I recruited you, here's a few ways you can help:

  1. Clarify-Tainter, above there, points out that the article isn't very clear on what found poetry is. This is still true.
  2. Expand on the ideas already in the article. I would know what to put in, if I knew more about what found poetry was.
  3. Found citations, and use them. Wikipedia won't ever be taken seriously unless we take this task seriously.
  4. At least watchlisting it as it seems to be a target for vandalism.
