I have just seen the Foetry.com article in the speedy delete spam list. I did a quick scan of the article and your comments on the talk page. I have removed the speedy tag and the hangon tag. The nominator may still chose to nominated it for deletion using the standard Articles for deletion process.

May I suggest that, though you have inline references, you create a "Reference" section. Wikipedia policy requires that verify articles have verified sources, and editors do look for Reference sections.

 * I took the inine refs that you had and made a footnote/reference section. Suggested reading to get you (and your students started):
 * Verifiability
 * Citing sources
 * Citation templates
 * Footnotes

You are welcome. BTW... It's a great idea to have your students involved in improving articles. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 01:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Poetry Slam vs. Slam Poetry
Jeff,

Thanks for your note. Haven't dropped by Wikipedia for some time, so am just now responding.

The current Poetry Slam article is much improved; thank you for the work you've done on it.

I do think that "Poetry Slam" is the main term; your Google search confirms that. I think "slam poetry" is a style; a "poetry slam" is an event.

I have a few other comments, which I'll make over at the "Poetry Slam" talk page.

I have to say, I was disheartened to see "The Idiot's Guide to Slam Poetry" in a bookstore. Over the years, Marc hasn't made the best decisions in terms of publishing: he self-published a book, which came off a bit amateurish, and now he's gone for the lowest common denominator:  the "Idiot's Guide" series. It's official, I guess: Poetry Slam has hit the masses; we can all move on now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Athansor (talk • contribs).
