Talk:Necronomicon

I fixed a bunch of errors, added some information from the main English article, and simplified some of the overly complex sentence structure. I think I converted all the compound sentences into multiple sentences, but I'm apparently too lazy to back and check for sure. I'm really unconvinced that we need so much detail on the hoax Necronomicons, and I ended up removing some extraneous details on the "Simon" Necronomicon, which was threatening to take over the entire article. Some of the language was rewritten to be more forceful about the fact that the "Simon" Necronomicon is fake, as it struck me as being somewhat wishy-washy. Furthermore, I tried to add some markup, though the article still looks pretty crappy. I wasn't sure how much of the original article to import, and much of it struck me as being a bit difficult to translate into simple English -- this is Lovecraft we're talking about here. I'm amazed that it's even possible summarize his prose in basic English.

I probably should have added some "See also:" entries, but I forgot. Also, it wouldn't hurt to expand on some of the vague details I alluded to, such as Lovecraft's circle using the Necronomicon, the look and feel, etc. If I remember, I'll try to come back and fill in the blanks later. However, I think this is a decent improvement, and the article is on its way to summarizing the main English article. 69.11.189.220 (talk) 02:59, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
