I added the ones that made sense. About half didn't. DreamGuy 00:47, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from List of works

I'm not sure if there's an official policy about having the list of works by an author in the same page with his bio/related info. IMHO having all the info in just a page would help, but then maybe this article would be too large to handle? I've looked at Lovecraft's article and I am a bit confused now, since there's a list of works in the article and another list of works in an independent article.

They should be merged. Separate "work lists" are used for people with very long articles and very long works lists, like Pink Floyd. I will merge them in a couple of days unless anyone objects. Jdcooper 12:46, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

That seems like a good idea to me. Nareek 18:05, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge it in. Even if the list was extensive, it belongs with the authour. Dury 20:29, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sauk City

He lived in Sauk City. Sauk County is to broad. Also, is it in poor taste to upload a picture of his grave? --Al 01:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

For me - absolutely not. Grave of H.P. Lovecraft with "I am Providence" sentence is often shown in article about him. But please upload the file to Commons. --User:Derbeth ^talk 11:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean-up

Just for future reference, the clean-up tag is there basically because the page looks ugly, what with the massive bibliography. I don't know how it could be cleaned-up necessarily, which is why I haven't done it myself, but the tag is to get the attention of other editors, who might have brighter ideas.

- Note: i removed discussion of the previous clean-up tag, which was removed then replaced, because it was pretty confusing. Jdcooper 03:16, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
