Why did you remove a paragraph of information from the Jane Hirshfield article? Helpsome ( talk) 14:07, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
I did so at the request of Ms. Hirshfield, who wrote me that not only does she want to minimize her religious practice on the page (see the reference to her comments further down her wiki page) but that the anecdotes were "garbled" and not quoted accurately from the citation source.

Category:Women poets is not new, it has existed since 2007. Category:American women poets has existed since last fall. The same is true of Category:American women novelists. If people do not think we should have such categories they are free to nominate them for deletion at CfD. It is not difficult. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:22, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
I will make this easy for you. If there is a category you do not like copy and paste this

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Susanne Antonetta may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi Spanglej. You've been helpful to me in the past and I'm unable to post this in the Teahouse (cannot hit the "submit" button on the dialogue box there.) I'm looking for guidance.I did an extensive update on Jane Hirshfield's page, including correct citations to all her publications as well as to literary criticism which discusses her work. Now I see someone has marked her page as "start" quality. I disagree. I'm also wondering how to go about establishing notability. Hirshfield is one of the world's most famous and esteemed living poets, yet there remains a question as to her notability?
I've also updated another poet/editor's page (Sarah Gorham) and am a little surprised to see her notability questioned. She's a very well know poet and essayist, also runs an awardwinning American literary publishing house. Can you help?
I appreciate your reply a great deal, Spanglej. Thank you. Lavenderly ( talk) 15:19, 15 September 2013 (UTC)Lavenderly
