Comments

 * Lead


 * I think the  parameter of the infobox could be replaced with the   parameter.


 * It is done. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 21:09, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * The third paragraph of the lead
 * "In these letters, he discussed his world view and his daily life" the second "his" could be removed.


 * It is done. I look forward to reading any other comments that you may have. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 21:06, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Ref 6 - St. Armand 1972 might be linking to the wrong page (p. 3).


 * The source has been removed from that sentence. It was a bit too indirect. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 21:16, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * New Lead


 * "According ot this philosophy, humanity was an unimportant part of an uncaring cosmos that could be swept away at any moment." misspelling of "to".


 * It is done. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 13:08, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Marriage and Move to New York


 * "Lovecraft's single-room apartment at 169 Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights, not far from the working-class waterfront neighborhood Red Hook, was burgled, leaving him with only the clothes he was wearing." Not sure that the specific location should be included here, already mentioned two paragraphs earlier.


 * I removed it. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 21:45, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Personal views


 * "Lovecraft began his life as a Tory.[121] This is likely the result of his conservative upbringing." The two sentences can be merged into "Lovecraft began his life as a Tory,[121] which was likely the result of his conservative upbringing."


 * It is done. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 21:55, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Influences


 * "One of Lovecraft's most significant literary influences was Edgar Allan Poe, whom he described as his "God of Fiction".[146] His fiction was introduced to Lovecraft when the latter was eight-years-old." Does "the latter" refer to Lovecraft or Edgar Allan Poe?


 * "The latter" refers to Lovecraft. I have made it a bit more clear. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 22:18, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * "In "H. P. Lovecraft: New England Decadent", Barton Levi St. Armand, a professor emeritus of English and American studies at Brown University,[155]"
 * It might be a bit excessive to add a source to prove that he was a professor at this university.
 * Wikilink to Brown University


 * Both have been done. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 17:50, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Critical reception


 * "According to Joyce Carol Oates, Lovecraft (and Edgar Allan Poe in the 19th century)" "in the 19th century" is also a bit redundant.


 * It has been removed. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 23:02, 18 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Lovecraft studies


 * "After Derleth's death, the scholarship entered a new phase." The date of Derleth's death could be specified


 * The date has been added. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 23:02, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Image review
All of the images have fitting licences, and except for H. P. Lovecraft, 1930.png, the images are relevant to the section that they are included in.


 * I chose an image of the subject, as that section is not the easiest to illustrate. If you want, I could replace it with a photograph of one of the critics. Unfortunately, it looks the image of Edmund Wilson is going to be deleted from Wikimedia Commons. That was my first choice for a replacement. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 13:08, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * I replaced the image with one of Colin Wilson. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 13:35, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Source check
Ref 239 - Since is split into multiple sections, the section that is cited might be included to improve verifiablity. this can be done with the  parameter (see the Template documentaion). This can also apply any uses of in the article (Ref 243 and Refs 246 – 249)


 * I will look into this. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 13:08, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It is done. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 18:10, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * - Citation contains two links to an archive url.


 * I am not sure what was going on there. It might be linked to the power outage that disabled the Internet Archive itself. For now, I have replaced the links. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 17:50, 19 September 2021 (UTC)


 * - does'nt include a url and / or a ISBN / ISSN.


 * I added the ISSN. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 18:18, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

Copyvio check
After a check on copyvio, I think this might be ok, as long as it can be proven that these specific three urls copied from the article, and not the other way around;


 * https://erneacouniphypoul.tk/
 * https://www.whosdatedwho.com/dating/h-p-lovecraft-and-sonia-haft-shifirkin-greene
 * https://www.newstatesman.com/uncategorized/2014/10/weird-realism-john-gray-moral-universe-h-p-lovecraft

I saw the third one on a previous check through Earwig's service. It appears to be triggered by the quotes and titles that are in the article. The other ones look like spam. The "erneacouniphypoul.tk" website—which was not there a month ago—appears to have copied. The dating website appears to have never been archived. This implies that it was recently created. Meanwhile, the text was first placed here between and. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 21:06, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Overall rating
, the article has passed the Good article criteria. I'm just pinging you in the case that the bot notifies you of a failed good article nomination; which can happen if the article has previously failed a good article nomination. I think we should see if we can bring the article back to featured status. Realmaxxver (talk) 20:55, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
