Citations coming shortly[edit]

I've added material to the article and supporting citations are ready and will be added very soon.

Chesapeake77 (talk) 18:27, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many are in, more will be coming...

Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 21:38, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Citations will not be added today.

Because of the Texas elementary school shootings today.

Please don't revert anything in the article that is missing a citation. More are ready and will be added, but not today.

(Lots of edits on a Wikipedia article automaticly send a message to article reviewers to come and check on things).

I just can't work on this right now.

Discuss: Removing sucession box from Infobox, removing 100% of Awards from Infobox[edit]

1) He was a political appointee-- Poets Laureate of Maryland are appointed by the governer-- and political appointees get succession boxes.

2) You left an "edit note"-- saying "awards should be reduced in the Infobox to the most notable ones but then you removed all of them (twice). (Which totals 3 reverts for you-- requiring discussion and no further reverts).

3) I have reduced the awards to those that are the most notable (cutting the total text for awards in half).

4) All remaining awards are bestowed for population areas of 6 million people-- either A) the entire state of Maryland (population 6 million) or B) the entire Washington metropolitan area (6 million people as well).

Therefore the remaining awards are highly notable.

You are misusing the infobox template. |honorific_suffix= is for: This is for things like OBE – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as national orders and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "BA" (from the template documentation). You are adding a job title which belongs in |title= which I did and you reverted. There is no precedent for cramming a "succession box" into this parameter. Such information can be included in {{infobox office holder}}, but using that template is not appropriate as his career was mostly as a poet/writer. If you insist on a succession box, it should be at the bottom of the article, not in the infobox. But if you look at other poets who were also in his position, Michael Collier (poet) and Stanley Plumly for example, his predecessor and successor, there are no succession boxes in those articles which is normal.

You keep added the number of grandchildren which is just trivia and doesn't belong in the infobox (it's not even mentioned in the article).

You keep adding detailed information on his education. The infobox is for what is most relevant. That would be his MA/Ph.d. The undergraduate degree is a stepping-stone to his graduate degree and doesn't add anything significant. There is no obvious significance of "postdoc studies" and should not be in the infobox.

I do not know that any of the awards are that significant as none have WP articles. But trimming this to three is better than before.

An infobox is for a quick summary of the most important facts. Details belong in the article. MB 16:49, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK I was only gone for a few days, due to personal matters, so you exceeded your three reverts on this issue.

I have responses to all of your points, which I will post later today.
