I like the examples you're giving for the poetry definitions - they help a lot. --MichaelTinkler

Red - Welcome to the Wikipedia! I really like it when people take on a pet topic, as you have done with poetry. I've noticed a lot of short, one-or-two line entries that seem to be not much more than simple definitions. Are you planning to expand these? BTW, I've been going through and labelling them as stubs (the reason for this labelling is that they turn up in the search engine easily if someone searches for "stub"). - MMGB

I have to concur with Manning, here. Your desire to help is exemplary but the stubs are not. Please see Wikipedia is not a dictionary and the perfect stub article. --LMS

I hope to return to poetry in the fairly near future (wiki is more or less a winter project with me). I also devote some time to law. And, although I know that wiki is not a dictionary I think it is important to give definitions from time to time in aid of the larger conversation and that is particularly so in field such as poety and law (and most others, I suspect). When I read other wiki areas for knowledge, the well written stub is enormously helpful to my understanding of the topic. --Red Bowen

Greetings, Red. I've been reviewing your various contributions on legal topics, which are all first rate. Keep up the good work! -- NetEsq 20:29 Dec 1, 2002 (UTC)
