Talk:List of Brontë poems

Untitled
Some pupils from Roundwood Park School, Harpenden have created a number of articles about poems by the Brontë siblings.

Peotry from Haworth
I notice a sudden rush of articles about poems written by t'lasses and t'lad from t'parsonage all by different users. I think I am right in identifying the source of them. Please read School and university projects and confirm that I am correct. Please bring the following to the notice of all involved in the project.

 * Context. As an absolute minimum, an article must start with something like "Lines are a poem by Emily Brontë" and it must link to the bio article about the author.
 * In general, the text of poetry should be posted to Wikisource not here. But it is accepted that the text of a short poem may be included providing the article actually discusses the poem. But an article that contains nothing but the poem, is likely to be marked for deletion.
 * My mummy told me that back in County Down, Patrick Brontë was known as plain Paddy Brunty - the 'ë' (e-diaeresis) was an affectation he took on when he came to Yorkshire. However Wikipedia follows his affectation. Will you please follow it too.
 * Do not be off-put by people who tag your articles "unreferenced" or "non-neutral" - some Wikipedia editors try to bring the same tests that they apply in articles about the real world to literary criticism.
 * The job is not finished until you have created incoming links to your articles.


 * Umm, "unreferenced" is a basic reqsuirement of any Wikipedia article. We are an encyclopedia, a tertiary source: we report the literary criticism of notable poems in reliable sources, we don't write literary criticism. Please see our core policies WP:V and WP:OR. The job is not finished until you have provided reliable secondary sources about the poem, and the article may well be deleted if you don't (many of these articles have already been deleted). Wikipedia is not a free paper hosting service... Fram 11:26, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
