Those Winter Sundays
This famous poem by Robert Hayden does not (yet?) have its own article. Currently, the only reference to the poem in Wikipedia is in fact a redirect to THIS article. It would seem that there is no point for a "double square brackets" link, since this just refers back to the article about the poet (a classic case of circular referencing). Try it by clicking on the topic to this section if you don't believe me! You can tease it to a red link by inserting "quotes" (inverted commas) into the link, or changing the capitalisation, but that is not very helpful either. Sooner or later someone will probably write an article about the poem, and at that time inserting a link here will be very useful indeed - until then it will do nothing but add confusion and dismay. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:11, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, my team and i are busy writing an article about Robert Hayden his most popular poem, Those Winter Sundays. I've added the square brackets so the link to the page immediately becomes relevant when our article will be accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blahblah0987 (talk • contribs) 13:03, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Ending of “Words in the Mourning Time”
The article quotes the last part of part IX of Hayden’s poem “Words in the Mourning Time,” describing the excerpt as the ending to the whole work. However, there is a part X, which is also significantly related to gm the author’s faith.

I do not contest or affirm the significance or interpretation of the quote. Leif Nabil 01:18, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
