[edit] Foetry.com

Admin comment:

I have just seen the Foetry.com article in the speedy delete spam list. I did a quick scan of the article and your comments on the talk page. I have removed the speedy tag and the hangon tag. The nominator may still chose to nominated it for deletion using the standard Articles for deletion process.

May I suggest that, though you have inline references, you create a "Reference" section. Wikipedia policy requires that verify articles have verified sources, and editors do look for Reference sections.

I took the inine refs that you had and made a footnote/reference section. Suggested reading to get you (and your students started):

• Wikipedia:Verifiability
• Wikipedia:Citing sources
• Wikipedia:Citation templates
• Wikipedia:Footnotes

You are welcome. BTW... It's a great idea to have your students involved in improving articles. — ERcheck (talk) 01:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poetry Slam vs. Slam Poetry

Jeff,

Thanks for your note. Haven't dropped by Wikipedia for some time, so am just now responding.

The current Poetry Slam article is much improved; thank you for the work you've done on it.

I do think that "Poetry Slam" is the main term; your Google search confirms that. I think "slam poetry" is a style; a "poetry slam" is an event.

I have a few other comments, which I'll make over at the "Poetry Slam" talk page.

I have to say, I was disheartened to see "The Idiot's Guide to Slam Poetry" in a bookstore. Over the years, Marc hasn't made the best decisions in terms of publishing: he self-published a book, which came off a bit amateurish, and now he's gone for the lowest common denominator: the "Idiot's Guide" series. It's official, I guess: Poetry Slam has hit the masses; we can all move on now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Athansor (talk • contribs).
