Bibliography of Edgar Allan Poe

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 It's taken a lot of work but it is complete, including all known works of Edgar Allan Poe published and unpublished during his lifetime.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to make too many individual articles because there just isn't much to say about some of them (especially the incomplete/unpublished poems, one of which is only 13 words).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]

Hi. I'd also prefer to see the list of poems converted into a table. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 15:45, 29 March, 2008
Support I contributed to the peer review for this and suggested converting the poems to a sortable table there, and would still like to see that done. Otherwise no complaints and lots of praise for a job well done, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 21:54, 30 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]
