Location

This edit says that Milosz now lives in California; this edit says that Milosz now lives in Poland. Robert Hass says California; Kraków says Poland. Which is correct? --Paul A 02:01, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The first edit does not imply that he lives in CA.--Jiang 04:30, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

"In 1961 he became a Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of California, Berkeley, where he now is a Professor Emeritus." --Paul A 08:43, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

It makes sense for him to be returning to his homeland now that he's retired. I called his Berkeley office (+1 (510) 642-1535) and no one picked up. --Jiang 20:46, 27 Apr 2004 (UTC)

So, being a Professor Emeritus at a university doesn't necessarily mean that one is actually at the university, then? The wording could do with some work. "...at the University of California, Berkeley, where he now is..." holds a clear implication, to my mind. --Paul A 02:31, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Retired professors are appropriately referred to as "Professor Emeritus". We could, however, do without the fancy wording.--Jiang 02:46, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Pronunciation

How is his name pronounced? --Tothebarricades.tk 01:26, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Check the article now, I added both IPA key and .ogg file, hope you like it. :) Halibutt 08:43, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)

Nobel prize

I think someone should clearly state which book he won the Nobel prize for in the first paragraph, since it isn't very clear.

Degree

Czesław Miłosz graduated from Vilnius University in 1933. In 1989 he was awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University. Pray, there is a difference between the two! (I went ahead and corrected it). -- 198.36.32.29 13:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC) pl:user:Bmucha

School

If he founded a school of Polish poetry, what is that school called, when did it form, who is a member, etc? Hyacinth 23:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

"Although he did not speak Lithuanian,"

According to this article, he spoke fluent Lithuanian. heqs 08:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

The article is wrong. I have that on the best authority: from the horse's own mouth. logologist|Talk 08:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Since Mr. Ed is dead, and so is Milosz, that statement will be difficult to disprove. Dr. Dan 14:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Isn't that original research? heqs 03:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Heqs, that particular editor has a history of manipulating WP much worse than OR. Dr. Dan 03:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Dan, WP:NPA is one of the basic rules of wikipedia. Reading it once again might save you from trouble. //Halibutt 09:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
