  • Article new and long enough. While the plot section is just under 700 words, it is also half of all prose text on the page, which feels like too much. Fifth nom so no QPQ needed. Hooks all check out in article, though I feel like ALT2 and 3 are the best, with ALT0 another option. 1 and 4 are a little vague/empty for my preference. The image is commons and used in the article, but even the infobox image of Colfer is better quality and more recent, so I would either not use the current image or change which image is used in the article (and set an upright parameter for portrait images so they're not so big!) For general improvements, the reception section really needs work, and one quotation plus text that is not quoted in the paragraph-long "summary" of Common Sense Media's review actually are more than 25% of the source text - even attributing the second part (messages of kindness, teamwork, inclusion, and being the best you can be) as a quote that is a lot of direct text that you have copyvio concerns about. Similarly, there are large parts from The Advocate's article that are not quoted but lifted directly, here in the "Influences" (and it should be "Influences", not "Influences and messages"...) section. Clean-up needed to pass: improve image if you want to use the image, cut down plot and/or expand real world text, fix quotations and potential copyvio. Kingsif (talk) 17:15, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kingsif: I think I've resolved the issues you've addressed. Pamzeis (talk) 03:44, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good. Preference for ALT2 (without wikilinking manifesto/compassion as common terms), ALT3, or ALT0, but all check out. Kingsif (talk) 13:25, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
