Language Arts help

The article Language arts needs some help. I've removed a bunch of irrelevant stuff, but thought people here might be able to add something useful.

Request

All those of you watching this page, please come and have a look at linguistics. There is a gross misrepresentation and censorship taking place there. Post-structural linguistics has been deleted and censored by the community there, and I urge you to participate in the discussion to restore a balanced view for the article.

Archiving

Does anyone object to me setting up automatic archiving for this page using MiszaBot? Unless otherwise agreed, I would set it to archive threads that have been inactive for 30 days and keep the last ten threads.--Oneiros (talk) 21:31, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Literature and Genre Fiction

Right now, the article states briefly that genre fiction may not be considered literature. As this is one of the big debates in the literary world and has been for some time (with Dorothy Sayers fighting for some crime/mystery novels to be considered literature and Kurt Vonnegut more successfully so with science fiction), the article should at least mention that there is strong disagreement on that point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.42.151.123 (talk) 15:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Opening paragraph

Why is the opening paragraph all in bold? It looks stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.45.19.42 (talk) 22:58, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

What about Law?

It mentioned everything from poetry to essays, but shouldn't it mention Law (or should it)?

Huge problem with article

Some of the statements in this essay, I wouldn't call it "article", are biased and POV to the point of it being hilarious.

"Literature is usually differentiated from popular and ephemeral classes of writing, and terms such as "literary fiction" and ::"literary merit" are used to denote art-literature rather than vernacular writing."

The above sentence I have removed. It is grammatically incorrect, racist, and makes no sense at all. "Vernacular" writing is not LITERATURE?!!!!!

There are some huge, severe other problems with the way this article has been written, and I am warning the community involved in advance here of a massive rehauling that is coming up on literature. Because when I do so, I hope you will comply and don't you dare edit war.
