[New-Poetry] Notable Bene

[Roger Day]

Well, there's your comment for one. It's a blizzard of comments like
these that have led the wikipedia to adopt these standards. An attempt
to gain respectability in the eyes of those who would never give them
respectability.

Maybe we should be glad that someone outside of poetry seems to care
about poets. meh.

Me, I'm a gnome. I clear up the spelling mistakes and the bad syntax
when I can. I browse and look. It's fairly accurate - as good as the
Encyclopedia Britannica for one. Nature magazine seems to think that
the Wikipedia is fairly accurate.
