Talk:Diane di Prima

Preserving a legacy of vandalism

Re: the vandalism subsection, I've never seen this before? Is this appropriate? It seems akin to making a brass plaque commemorating obscene graffiti, and ends up aggrandizing and memorializing slander...

Is there any precedent for memorializing slanderous wiki vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:801:0:54A0:FD75:6A3A:D528:B3DC (talk) 13:38, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

there is ZERO precedent for "wikipedia vandalism" being made permanent on the wikipedia page itself, and the comment that it aggrandizes the slander is completely on point. this section should be removed. some idiot trying to make jokes about "fat acceptance" has no place on di prima's wikipedia page. 129.93.161.222 (talk) 20:59, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Additionally, the user who added this section to di Prima's page has vandalized the Wikipedia page for another poet. See links below.

"A sort of Dead Poets Society"

in Early Life and Education: "...where she became part of a small group of friends including classmate Audre Lorde who formed a sort of Dead Poets Society calling themselves "the Branded"."

I feel like this could be explained better? "A sort of Dead Poets Society" doesn't feel like a very encyclopedic description of what it is, unless Dead Poets Society has some meaning beyond the film I assume this line is referring to. MinervaKizyna (talk) 17:25, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
