Article says "he was crowned the 'Poet Laureate of Freemasonry.'" What mysterious organization or government did this? Need facts: who, what, where, when, etc. Also "crowned" is inappropriate. Should be "named" or something like that. Poet Laureattes are not "crowned." kcylsnavS{screechharrass} 20:27, 8 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Crowned with a laurel wreath, so yes. As far as what organization it was, some details are given here, on page xiv.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:48, 8 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
Notwithstanding the source there is an issue with the wording and the allusion to Burns. At the moment the wording, and the infobox, imply some form of structure and common theme. Burns was given the title with reference to Canongate Kilwinning and that was later expanded to imply GLoS. Morris patently wasn't a member of a Lodge under GLoS.
Perhaps a phrasing might be ...a title first applied to Robert Burns in Lodge ..... and remove the succession from the infobox?
