Edgar Allan Poe[edit]

A very thorough article on one of the most famous poets in history. Featured article candicacy is deserved, and could also attract quality editors to fully perfect this piece. Harro5 00:48, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

  • Object. This article needs a lead section and some de-POVing. It is currently rather too sympathic to Poe, especially in three last sections. For example, there's no doubt (and the article needs to mention it) that Grisworld's work was defamation, but the general tone of the section shows the author(s) is rather partial. The Legacy section struck me as pretty good overall, however. Phils 11:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
