Pre review comments
The article looks good. One minor issue in the last section: "Lovejoy was also influential in business." It doesn't let the facts speak for themselves. I'd like to see some more detail into his business dealings (facts to speak for the influential).User:calbear22 (talk) 05:46, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Note: I still think it would be nice to see more information about the business ventures in his later years and some expansion of the final section to better meet section length guidelines (although the section is by no means too short to fail the guidelines). But, seeing that Lovejoy died over a hundred years ago, (and I looked at some of the sources in the final section) it seems unrealistic to demand more from that section to pass GA review for an article that is very good quality. Congratulations on a good article.User:calbear22 (talk) 19:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, I was working on that when you passed it, and will see if there is anything else to add with an eye towards a possible FA. If everything was online and search able it would make writing these things a lot easier, damn internet! ;) Aboutmovies (talk) 20:42, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
