Apologies for the delay; my holiday was quite busy. Putting on hold now. — GhostRiver 18:52, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

@GhostRiver:  Done. Skyshifter ^talk 19:08, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Skyshifter I have a few additional comments now that I am looking at this article again:

• In the lede, per MOS:QUOTEPOV, "project" should not be in quotes
• As a direct quote, "to encourage people to acquire knowledge" should have a citation after it even in the lede
• "which had received negative reviews
• "which Borges and his mother said was not the case" → "which Borges and his mother denied"
• Accusations Borges's disappearance was a publicity stunt to promote his book has been mooted Still confusing, suggest "Since the discovery of the contracts on May 31, Borges has faced accusations of using his disappearance as a publicity stunt to promote his books."
• Still some issues throughout with "Borges'" → "Borges's" and "Bruno" → "Borges"

@GhostRiver: all  Done. Skyshifter ^talk 20:33, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
