Merge suggestion

IMO the List of basic poetry topics is an unnecessary POV fork of Glossary of poetry terms: who says that some topics are basic and more importantly, why we need a list of "basic"? Mukadderat 19:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Lists of basic topics are a set of lists that serve as a table of contents system for Wikipedia. It is used by a lot of people and shouldn't be dismantled. Removing its poetry subject will create a gap in that system's coverage. The intended scope of the two pages is different, and this glossary may eventually grow to be much more comprehensive. The list of basic poetry topics is intended to remain fundamental (introductory level, providing an overview of the subject in a standard cheat sheet format).

Clean up

This glossary was more like a mere list than a glossary. Therefore I moved the non-glossary entries to a wish list section below until definitions are added to them. The Transhumanist (talk) 07:27, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wish list: terms needing definitions

The following items were moved here from the glossary page, because they lack definitions. Once you've added a definition to a term, please move it back the glossary page.

Short/long and stressed/unstressed

The article currently says:

Below, "short/long" definitions of a syllable of classical languages correspond to "stressed/unstressed" of English language.

Surely this should be:

Below, "short/long" definitions of a syllable of classical languages correspond to "unstressed/stressed" (respectively) of English language.

But I don't know enough about the subject to be sure. Adam1729 (talk) 06:59, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
