Ouch. Actually, the article is still listed as a GA. You changed it only on the Poetry Wikiproject rating. Please explain why you think this article should no longer be listed as a GA. --

oh. is that happened. I gave it a verification, after that edit, and removed the note. Perhaps you want to add or change that, but giving the full citation of the work in question seems useful. cygnis insignis
I restored it back to the prior version. 3rd party references are considered more reliable sources, rather than sourcing to itself. I'm not sure about the rest of your comment, Cygnis ("oh. is that happened"). --

I went to change it and thought the user must have done it. Then add that ref as well. I'm weary of your baseless blanket reverts, I'm reverting it cygnis insignis16:42, 22 March 2010 (UTC)reply
I'm not sure what you're referring to but the edit history is available. What revert? I restored the 3rd party source, reasoning is explained above (not "baseless"). If you want to add more, we can do that, I think. --

(undent) Okay, so the source's reliability is challenged; I won't stand up for it. But, if we add a new source we should remove any info that the new footnote does not verify. I still disagree about using a self-reference rather than a third-party source. --

(ec)The Christies site has other supporting documentation, but primary sourcing does suck. I will try to find a better secondary ref. I agree it is a bit clumsy to insert it those as what seems to a supporting ref, which eapoe.org is, but the ultimate referent happens to be noteworthy and appears in the "notes" section of the article. Articles in other publications would note this in a bibliography or further reading, the latter would also suit me. cygnis insignis17:10, 22 March 2010 (UTC)reply
To answer another question of yours: I think the format "H L Poe" looks fine to me. I couldn't find a specific suggestion in the MOS but I might be missing it. If anyone has other thoughts, I'd love to hear 'em. --

Ta, I don't know if the stopped 'H. L. Poe' style is favoured - there is probably an archive full of unresolved debate about it somewhere. cygnis insignis17:10, 22 March 2010 (UTC)reply
They are say something about most paid for a first edition book of poetry, RS is tricky with current events - I'll try to get to some recent journals. cygnis insignis18:16, 22 March 2010 (UTC)reply
