Bibliography of Edgar Allan Poe[edit]

I've never tried to work for a featured list before but I think this article is ready. It's taken a lot of work but it is complete, including all known works of Edgar Allan Poe published and unpublished during his lifetime. I would consider putting the list of poems into a table similar to the list of short stories if reviewers suggest it.

I will be out of town for a couple days so I may not immediately respond to the first few comments. Any advice will help. Thanks in advance! --Midnightdreary (talk) 12:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)

Hello Midnightdreary, certainly a very thorough list. Specific comments...

  • Avoid bold links in the lead per WP:LEAD#Bold title.
  • Not keen on the gallery, I'd intersperse the list with these images and use one of the them in the lead.
  • Yes, the poems look awkward listed as they are. I would tabulate.
  • I'd work on making articles for the red linked poems and those you link out to wikisource.
  • In Tales table, unbold the titles, and Publication year should be date really since some of the entries are complete dates.
  • Again, I'd prefer to see articles in Wikipedia than linked out to Wikisource... but that's a personal preference...

That's about all from me. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. I agree, I'm wasn't sold on the gallery. I removed it and interspersed a few images. I didn't want to make too many individual articles because there just isn't much to say about some of them (especially the incomplete/unpublished poems, one of which is only 13 words). I'll get to work on that poetry table if others agree (and when I'm back in town). --Midnightdreary (talk) 12:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - A well referenced and thoroughly complete list. This will surely be helpful to all who are researching the works of Poe. Dincher (talk) 14:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, folks! Sorry for the slow response; though real world obligations have been piling up for me lately, I'll get to work on that table as soon as possible!
Table is now complete! I think it looks good, so thanks to everyone who pushed for it! --Midnightdreary (talk) 03:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Hmm. Poe gave his permission after he died? :)
  • That infobox should be before the picture, IMO.

Otherwise, good job! -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 13:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to clarify that. --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments addressed. Meets the criteria. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 20:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment At least the 'title' and 'first published in' columns should be made sortable in each table Hmains (talk) 03:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I had no idea you could do that... and, along with that, I have no idea how! --Midnightdreary (talk) 14:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
