Untitled

Which Farm is being discussed in the article? It links to a disambig. page with 10 options, and I don't know which is correct.

It seems to be the one in San Francisco, according to some google searches. 151.197.169.59 02:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is referring to the community center in San Francisco that used to be at Army and Potrero. --Ron Silliman 03:41, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Debuting on August 29, 2002 to little fanfare and without expectations of an audience, Silliman's Blog received its 2,000,000th visit on January 19, 2009. Less than a full year later, on November 26, 2009, it received its 2,500,000th visit.

This sounds an awful lot like Silliman wrote it himself, doesn't it?

Overuse of primary sources

The article is overly reliant on primary sources. It is not supposed to be quotes of Silliman's writing, especially of his blog, but should be relying on other sources writing about Silliman and his works, relation to poetry movements, etc. Interested editors will find some sources at the article Language poets.Parkwells (talk) 17:28, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
