thread_title:  Additional item in bibliography standardized. 

message: The criticism is entirely one-sided and should be appended with a more traditional criticism of her work.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.88.181.112 (talk) 08:43, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I like Olds' work too, but this Huffington Post piece offers views often levelled at her work, it is a 'legitimate' view, harsh or not.  With Wikipedia it is not a matter of "if we want to include criticism", it is a needed part of any balanced article. Anis Shivani is an established writer, poet and critic; the quote is not presented as 'truth', merely the perspective of one strong source; the issue is not what "Olds deserves". We have currently very little in the way of critical appraisals here of Olds work. If you want to take this on, research and add more, by all means do. Please don't remove it just because you don't like it. Span (talk) 16:29, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: The first sentence is to the effect of "how she gave up poetry" and proceeds to describe how she wrote a massive amount, and so makes no sense. The first sentence is weird anyway: Why "Following her Ph.D.," or doctorate, or whatever? Why not just say that Olds describes her process thus...? Unfortunately, Olds uses improper grammar ("whoever" when "whomever" is correct) in the quotation... unfortunate for a littérateuse. She could be spared the embarrassment if the quote was edited; otherwise "[sic]" is needed.

replies: text: Hmm. Well, the interview source is right there by the quote. Instead of sniffing the grammar of the 'littérateuse' I would encourage you to step in and help improve things. That is the general idea of Wikipedia. I feel fairly certain that Olds is not squirming with embarrassment about her quote. I'm sure she has better things to do.

thread_title:  The Poetry section of this article: So which is it? 

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. Feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 04:26, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
