Kaluza's law
Deleted false (and unfootnoted) sentence. Studies of Kaluza's 'law' from both early daters and agnostics have shown that a number of poems other than Beowulf adhere to a high degree. How high a degree is debated, and the reasons for other poems' adherence are debated, but the sentence here is flatly false.Tags: RevertedVisual edit

Natasha Lyonne
walked back the overreaching WP:OR claims that her nationality is "Israeli-American" and that she holds dual citizenship. she spent only 1.5 years living in Israel as a child. the citations included in the first sentence and under "Citizenship" in the prior version support neither the nationality nor the citizenship claims, they just mention she lived in Israel briefly.Tag: Visual edit

Denise Levertov
Levertov spent the vast majority of her life in the US. If T S Eliot is listed on Wikipedia as a "British" poet, Levertov ought to be an "American" one. Both poets left their respective countries of birth at age 25.Tag: Visual edit

Beowulf
→Authorship and date: Re-deleted Hanna. It's not ideal to cite a Middle English specialist, in a general handbook, on a technical question about Old English poetics. There are plenty of early daters from within the field cited here already.
