As a general rule, in order not to be a mere text dump, entries that quote poetry ought to discuss it, for the quotes are like illustrations of points, which should be made in the entry itself. Wetman 20:23, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I'd agree with moving the two excerpts to Wikisource; the text that introduces the prelude & section L makes a good stub introduction, but could probably be filled out fairly easily to show examples of the sorts of engagements that Tennyson uses throughout the elegy. Norrie
When typing In Memoriam into the search a page for a"symphonic poem by the american composer Douglas Moore" comes up instead. As I assume that Tennyson's In Memoriam is the better known of the two this page should be the one that shows up in a search and not the other or there should be a disambiguation page. Would anyone like to fix it? Kakaze 19:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
"The British 19th century" sounds a bit odd, as if that century belonged to the British. (I suppose in some ways it did.) I'd rather see "one of the greatest British poems of the 19th century" or simply "one of the greatest poems of the 19th century" if anyone can find a source for the broader claim. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 13:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
"The evangelical idea of unquestioning belief in revealed truth taken from a literal interpretation of the Bible was already in conflict with the findings of science ..." This is an unnecessarily editorialized comment. Evangelicalism as a religious movement would not exist for almost 125 years after the writing of this poem. This seems like anachronistic reference for the purpose of highlighting a contemporary political debate. --68.183.11.35 (talk) 17:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
