CT poets laureate
I recently updated List of Connecticut state symbols to list Rennie McQuilkin as poet laureate based on the state website. While I am embarrassed about making an edit that was already out-of-date, one of the challenges in Wikipedia is writing so that articles can stand the test of time and remain current. There are a number of writing tricks. For example, if you look at the wording at Margaret Gibson's article, you will see I wrote what has happened in a way that nothing can become wrong even if she were not to finish the term. More importantly, I found a reliable source which is needed for everything on Wikipedia, especially material about living persons. You can see how I handled that at List of Connecticut state symbols. In my edit I also added her to Category:Poets Laureate of Connecticut. I then discovered that you added text to that. That text is not current and Categories are not Articles. I would encourage you to create and article for Poets Laureate of Connecticut. If you do, I'll be looking over your shoulder, but that's how Wikipedia works: collaboratively. Don't be afraid to try things at Wikipedia. Things can be revised or undone, and help is available. I don't want to overwhelm you. Feel free to contact me on my talk page. Happy editing.

 * I've gone ahead and created Poet Laureate of Connecticut in the singular because the singular is preferred in titles. You will also find I have populated the category more. BiologicalMe (talk) 17:17, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
