Original research?

The full text of the first paragraph of the synopsis was originally this (the removed portion is in italics):

The story is told from the first person perspective of an American Naval officer at the onset of World War I. In the tale, the unnamed narrator finds the ship he is serving on overtaken by a German man-o-war. The sailor escapes on a lifeboat and sails aimlessly across the sea until he eventually comes upon an unnamed black, murky islet. (Note: Some consider this island to be Y’ha-nthlei, a city mentioned in a companion story, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth". However, Y’ha-nthlei is implied to be located off Devils Reef, Innsmouth which is off the coast of New England, whilst the narrator of the tale in Dagon is adrift in the Pacific Ocean.)

I removed the Note portion because it contains dubious information. What published source makes this claim? (Besides, Y’ha-nthlei is supposed to be an underwater city!)

Weird Notes

What's with the weird notes? They don't refer to anything at the bottom of the page and even clicking them produces no result....What function do they serve???Colin4C 10:33, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deep Ones

Are the creatures found on the monolith deep ones? And is the monster supposed to be Dagon, as in the deity worshiped by the Esoteric Order? It can't be an ordinary Deep One, because it is far larger than the deep ones described in the Shadow Over Innsmouth. Ameratsu (talk) 05:12, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
