I am pretty sure Jack Kerouac coined the term "beat" to describe the generation of the time, not Caen. Anyone concrete on this?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Asbogle ( talk • contribs) 09:29, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, Kerouac did refer to the "Beat generation". Seems Caen the typical journo working for the corporate press was only out to redicule the new swinger music. On the question of the claim that Caen coined the word hippie, this too is factually incorrect. Evidentally, the word hipster, was coined in 1940 by Harry Gibson. Then in 1963 the British band The Swinging Blue Jeans released their hit song 'Hippy Hippy Shake'. This referring to the new beat music where the youth swung their hips, and the hipsters pants worn by the rebelling British youth. This reference to Caen needs to be changed?

I've added a few images, and swapped some others. Those not currently used I've parked here. I encourage my esteemed fellow editors to shift, swap, adjust, and juggle further, as they see fit. EEng ( talk) 21:20, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
Anyone not think this is ready for GA? I was hoping for a DYK:

One of our colleagues [1] has unearthed a 1903 San Francisco Call article describing San Francisco as "the cosmopolitan city of the United States" ( "San Francisco: The Baghdad of America". San Francisco Call. Vol. 94, no. 101. 9 September 1903.). The possibility that HC knew about this is intriguing, but of course we can't use it without some source commenting. Worth parking here, though -- maybe someone will have a bright idea. E Eng 02:27, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

I know it's a longshot, but does anyone have the moxy to try to get the lead photo on this page [2] appropriately released? Man, that would be perfect. Starting point here [3]. E Eng 22:04, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
I have just read the article and the biography of his works seems to end at 1972 before it hits the 1990s. I found this quite confusing given supportive pieces he wrote about Jim Jones and the temple in the middle of the 70s. It seems quite an oversight that there is no mention of him publishing the affidavit signed by Timothy Stoen confirming Jones as the father of the former's son for example. I think this would enrich the article given the cultural and political impact of Jim Jones on San Francisco and the wider United States.
Perhaps a paragraph relating to this could be added? JdBD87 ( talk) 10:50, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
