[edit] Requested move

The Shadow over InnsmouthThe Shadow Over Innsmouth – Capitalization fix.

Based on my sources, "Over" in title should be capitalized. For example, see The Locus Index to Science Fiction and the definitive Arkham House version in The Dunwich Horror and Others (see Contents).

[edit] Zadok Allen

Zadok is killed by Dagon after he blabs about the town to Robert. I can confirm this by pulling out an old article about Lovecraft which has a synopsis of the story in it. I've added this to the article.65.255.130.104 21:27, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Surely you should be able to confirm this by looking at the story itself? It's available online. john k 02:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Zadok is named after a priest of Israel . . . in one of the Kings. 68.31.45.54 (talk) 09:24, 30 January 2008 (UTC)Ascaris

[edit] Other appearances - Gilman

"The hotel owner in the game is named Gilman, an obvious reference to the stories protagonist. "

This seems like a mistake to me. In Lovecraft's story Gilman was, in fact, the name of the hotel owner (just like in the game, apparently), not of the protagonist.

Perhaps it was meant to read along the lines of "the hotel owner in the game is named Gilman, an obvious reference to the hotel which the story's protagonist stayed at." I believe it's actually called the Gilman Hotel. 75.108.205.201 23:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
