Nationality
Shouldn't his nationality be American and his ethnicity/heritage be Armenian? -- Augustgrahl 22:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That is correct, unless he moved to Armenia and became a citizen. If he did, that needs to be sourced. Thanks! --Tom 12:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

There were inaccuracies in my entry, which have been corrected. First, there is no such thing as a New York times Notable Book Prize; dozens of books are, or were, then, chosen by the Times Book Review at the end of the year and were noted as New York Times Notable Books; again, this is not a prize and hundreds of books a year are notable books. Secondly, the mention of Academy of American Poets Prize is inaccurate; this refers to a contest that was for graduate students more than 30 years ago; it was not a national prize and should not be mentioned; I suspect that the source of this was a very outdated Colgate University Faculty site; that site has been properly revised. Here is the url: (see http://www.colgate.edu/DesktopDefault1.aspx?tabid=684&pgID=3400&vID=3&dID=0&fID=92 I deleted the mention of my children in the entry. I am requesting that this be kept permanently changed. Sincerely, Peter Balakian —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.43.58.8 (talk) 20:43, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
