A week?
I'm mulling this over and am still incapable of understanding it:
 * A prolific writer, Thomas' career has been most successful when his circumstances have allowed him to concentrate on writing. A position at the American University, for example, proved disastrous and was cut short after only a week.

A week? A week? How could one seriously know what impact this assignment would have on one's writing career after just a week? How could a week lost ever be considered disastrous, in any sense of the word? Maybe if you blew a deadline, but then we need that additional context to understand.

I wonder if anyone can find a source for this claim, to soothe my own confusion if nothing else. --Saforrest 15:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Allegations of Plagiarism
These are dealt with in the body of the article. It is inappropriate to put them in the initial paragraph. Please would editors be very careful to maintain a neutral point of view and keep to the policy in WP:BLP. Springnuts (talk) 22:27, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

A Cornish Poet?
A cornish poet? Did he write in Kernowek or something like this or why isn't he just british? This sounds strange for a reader of this article, if you live on the continent. --13Peewit (talk) 20:29, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
