message: 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)
replies: text: The article says he coined "beatnik" and "hippie", which are different from (though obviously related to) "beat" and "hippie". Lagringa 22:34, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

message: One of our colleagues  has unearthed a 1903 San Francisco Call article describing San Francisco as "the cosmopolitan city of the United States" (). 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.

message: I know it's a longshot, but does anyone have the moxy to try to get the lead photo on this page  appropriately released? Man, that would be perfect. Starting point here . EEng 22:04, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

message: 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)
