couldn't this just be put under lovecrafts own site?

It's too long and would clutter up an otherwise beautiful article. --Alex S 02:00, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

--- Wherever it ends up, it would be well to alphabetize (and perhaps another list by date?). ww 14:58, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Also, the Fiction section could stand do with some organization into novel, short story, etc. BillFlis 13:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I disagree, I think it works best to simply leave it the way it is, and doesn't need to be divided further into novels and short stories. Little notes could be put by them in parantheses about what kind of fiction it is (e.g. (short story)). Elizabennet 19:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revisions

I'm not sure it makes sense to red-link all the revisions--many of them are almost never talked about, making a worthwhile article about them nearly impossible. Nareek 03:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I second this. I don't think that links for the revisions are necessary, and I agree that there isn't enough information to make new articles on each.Elizabennet 19:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikisource

At the top there is a link to wikisource. I was wondering if there should be a link to the wikisource of each story/novel next to the title. Could be useful. For example: "The Shadow on Innsmouth" (wikisource link)Elizabennet 19:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Individual pages

OK, this is my last note for today (I think). I'm wondering if there should be some kind of standard for where to put the link to the wikisource material. Some pages it's at the top, some at the synopsis, and others at the bottom with references. I didn't find anything on this topic at the wikisource area of wikipedia. I just like it all to look... neat. And cohesive.  :) -Elizabennet 20:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Having a Wikisource link next to each story seems like a fine idea. I was going to do that to one of the anthology pages, where the titles all linked to Wikisource--linking to the WP pages seemed like a better idea, but having maybe a footnote-style link next to each title seems helpful.

Thanks for tidying up all the Wikisource links in the articles. I'm all for neatness and cohesion! I put in some of those, and some of them ended up in the Synopsis just because that was the top section when I did it. But maybe Synopsis isn't a bad place for it--like an off-ramp for people who might want to read the whole thing instead? Anyplace consistent is better than placing it randomly, though.
