Regarding possible theory’s on Edgar Poes death Add Cooping to potential reasons of death ~2025-39084-50 (talk) 06:06, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 06:18, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's... already listed? Also, explored in further detail in the death of Edgar Allan Poe article. --Midnightdreary (talk) 13:11, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Formally requesting that quotes or things mentioned by Poe in interviews available or even newspapers for citation and quotation in other works ~2025-41068-56 (talk) 00:59, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You'd need to be more specific as it's hard to understand what you mean. Do you think Poe was interviewed like a celebrity back in the 19th century? --Midnightdreary (talk) 23:14, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And I apologize but I've gone and removed it. Claiming that his alma mater is the University of Virginia without additional commentary is misleading at best. The full story is covered in the article and is not helpful in a minimalized infobox such as the one used here. --Midnightdreary (talk) 23:16, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
