Date, size, hook and everything else appear fine. Source checked and no paraphrasing issues.Alexikoua (talk) 12:45, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I came by to promote this, but do you think this is enough to draw readers' interest? Many native sons have "days" proclaimed for them. Why not add something about what she did, like who published more than 1,000 short stories or whose poems were published more than 900 times internationally (not sure what that means BTW). But those facts need an inline cite. Yoninah (talk) 00:51, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Everything is actually cited already. “More than 900 times internationally” means that her poems were published more than 900 times and they were published internationally. I’m not sure what other conclusion someone could come to. I have no idea what your comment about “native sons” receiving days about them means because I have never heard of such a term. There is also the fact that she can’t possibly be someone’s son. SL93 (talk) 01:40, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: I don't see any inline cite for 1,000 books or 900 poems. Regarding the latter, it could have been the same poem published 900 times for all we know. Perhaps you have a more specific number of poems? A native son is a person who was born in a specific place. If she wasn't born there, the state could have "adopted" her as one of their own. Yoninah (talk) 01:44, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: It is cited and I checked the source again. It is the second source. It isn’t cited right after it because it’s not currently the hook. I do know, from the source, that it isn’t only one poem. Try searching for the number “900” in the second source...which has always been in the proper place.

@SL93: Are you trying to say you like the hook just the way it is? Yoninah (talk) 01:54, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: I will think of a new hook and no, I certainly didn’t type such a thing. I don’t mince what I mean. I was only responding to your comment that part of the article wasn’t cited. Thanks for the copyedit though. SL93 (talk) 01:57, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: ALT1 ... that Arkansas poet laureate Rosa Zagnoni Marinoni had her poems published in more than 900 U.S. and international publications?
ALT2 ~~... that Arkansas poet laureate Rosa Zagnoni Marinoni held a poetry club at her now historic home for 45 years, resulting in around 18 compilations of the club's poems being published?~~ SL93 (talk) 22:02, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. ALT2 is very wordy, and I also edited in the article. Here is an alt:
ALT2a: ... that Arkansas poet laureate Rosa Zagnoni Marinoni held a poetry club at her now historic home for 45 years, leading to around 18 published compilations?
ALT2a hook ref verified and cited inline.
I have no preference, but I think the alts are hookier than the original hook. Thank you, Yoninah (talk) 22:34, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
