Talk:Kealoha (poet)

Re-writing / unsourced material

I've cut unsourced material and some elements of promotional tone from the article. Still need some more neutral and independent sources to be introduced. I cut a lot of material from the career section, and I've reintroduced what I could (in a quick look) find citations in reliable sources for. The material that I've cut that I haven't re-introduced is pasted below, in case anyone can find reliable source coverage and reintroduce:
