Hello! I'll be starting the review later today. Daß Wölf 18:57, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

@Unexpectedlydian: Thanks for contributing this excellent article! It was very interesting to read about a book touching on such modern topics, yet written way back in the 70s. I've only found a few issues with the article. Daß Wölf 12:01, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

@Daß Wölf: Glad you found the article interesting! It is definitely one of my favourite children's books and I've thought about the themes a lot since first reading it aged 10. I've addressed your comments below, do let me know what you think. Unexpectedlydian^♯4talk^‽ 14:25, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

@Unexpectedlydian: I think we've covered everything, so I'm going to mark this as  Passed :) Great work! Daß Wölf 17:09, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Checked most of the sources I could access and they attest to the statements cited to them.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• The WP:LEAD should not introduce any content not in the rest of the article, so it doesn't need the refs.
  • Thanks, have removed the refs.
• The non-free use rationale for the book cover is a little terse, e.g. see Template:Non-free use rationale#Example.
  • I've changed the free-use rationale to reflect the example. I agree the previous version was lacking.
    • The new rationale is better, thanks. Daß Wölf 17:09, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
• WP:ALT texts shouldn't repeat context from the caption. They're meant to be read by screen readers in addition to the caption. For example, "A painting of Sir Galahad" would be enough.
  • Thank you - I have changed that now.
• The fact that Tyke is a girl is itself a revelation is, Brindley writes, "reinforcing sexist roles in society". -- that's a bit of a garden-path sentence. I think it would be clearer with a different verb in place of one of the "is".
  • Hmm I agree that doesn't read particulalry well. I have reworded to: "Brindley writes that the idea of Tyke's real gender being a revelation reinforces "sexist roles in society"." What do you think?
    • Yes, that's much better. Daß Wölf 17:09, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
