"Userfriendly editions"

What, pray tell, does that mean? Annotated? Abridged? Selected with introductions? Varlaam (talk) 02:30, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Infobox

I too would like to see an infobox for all the reasons SlimVirgin gave here: Talk:Ezra_Pound/Archive_1#Infobox. In fact, I don't understand why it was removed from previous versions of the article, besides one editor's wish to not have one. TuckerResearch (talk) 21:17, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Actually more than one editor objected...Modernist (talk) 23:04, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Fine. Two. TuckerResearch (talk) 23:56, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

I count four in this discussion and at least one other elsewhere. Deor (talk) 00:01, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Prefer not to have an infobox. Thx. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 02:55, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
TuckerResearch - when you refer to "one editor's wish to not have one", can you please identify the editor (as you have SlimVirgin). In my mind this is not about pitting two editors against eachother, but if that's the case, then let's be honest about it. It's about the value of infoboxes in articles to do with artists - a value, I for one find dubious. Infoboxes are great for country articles and for articles with statistics - but having an infobox for the sake of having an infox, and then adding subjective information such as "influenced by" and "influenced" doesn't really add much to the page, in my view. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 15:16, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Temporary protection?

This article seems to be getting quite a bit of vandalism recently. Is it worth protecting it for a short period? Truthkeeper88 (talk) 16:29, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
