[edit] Most popular

"Her poem Warning ... was identified as the UK's "most popular post-war poem" in a 1996 poll by the BBC." I feel that this needs clarification. My first thought was of the Nation's Favourite Poems poll from 1995, which actually listed Rudyard Kipling at number one. The BBC interview given in the sources mentions that Warning was "twice voted the nation's favourite post-war poem", but doesn't say who conducted the poll. I admit that I haven't listened to the interview, perhaps that clears things up. Several web pages use Wikipedia's formulation, and say that e.g. "in a poll conducted by the BBC, it was voted as Britain's favorite post-war poem", [1] but they don't give sources, and read as if the information has been copied and copied and copied again. I want to know who conducted the poll(s), when, what came second and third, what impact the polls had in the UK, and if there is an authoritative source to back this up. -Ashley Pomeroy 17:37, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
