Talk:Jorie Graham

message: Added a separate section on Foetry.com. Moved all reviews and blurbs into appropriate section. Criticism section still empty. Added links to sites on which sample poems can be viewed (can anyone verify whether or not Plagiarist.com is legal? I thought yes, but suddenly wonder). Removed many reviews and blurbs, esp. those without citation. Too much on Foetry? Probably should have own article. I'm not going to write it (afraid it would start endless POV wars, given the nature of some posters at that site).
Additional question - should we delete most of the external links? They're not so much reviews as places to buy Graham's books.
Thank you for the restructuring. It was necessary and well-done. You did not, by the way, overdo the information about
Foetry's discoveries. This belongs in any account of Graham's life because one of the most noteworthy events in it is
the fact that she had the astonishing arrogance to award a major poetry prize to her fiance. Many judges over the years have
been accused of cronyism, but I think most would agree Graham's action is in a league of its own.

thread_title: Major restructuring

message: Huge chunks of text were deleted from this article by editor "Antibit" yesterday.  The first edit by Antibit seems to be reverting vandalism, but could we get a quick summary of the rationalle for the other deletions, please?  Geoffrey.landis (talk) 13:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The same text has now been deleted three more times, each time with no explanation. The next time you delete, could you explain the reasoning, please? Geoffrey.landis (talk) 13:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Text deleted? 

message: I notice that "Bugzita" added the paragraph "Although Graham has supposedly retired from judging literary contests, she has been selected to judge the "Discovery"/Boston Review Poetry Contest during 2008.  The deadline was January 18, 2008."  This seems to merely repeat information that's already in the article two paragraphs earlier ("Graham subsequently announced that she would no longer serve as a judge in contests, although as of 2008 she continues to do so"Discovery"/Boston Review 2008 Poetry Contest"), so I'm deleting it.   YMMV, and if you think that there's a reason that the information should be here twice, go ahead and say so.Geoffrey.landis (talk) 14:04, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem 

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:
* Cite templates will be used where possible.
* Tables may be used to organise short stories, poems and/or book reviews. 
* I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
* Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed. 
This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 10:22, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
