Wikipedia talk:List of infoboxes/Proposed/Infobox Poetry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I made this infobox for poems. I fear that there may be too many options, and the "Poem" may be better than "Poetry", or what to do with all of Shakespeare's sonnets, but this is what this talk page is for. GracenotesT § 00:28, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments
I quite like the parameters. All include information that better summarizes the form of the poem for poetry articles. I'm not too keen on the color though but overall I think it wouldn't hurt to add to any poetry article.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 19:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
