Copy edit[edit]

I performed a copy-edit of this page. While doing so, I noticed two problems in the "Reception" section:

The quote attributed to Mercier is actually part of a review of the book Girl Goddess #9 and does not directly refer to Weetzie Bat. Therefore, its inclusion in this article is questionable, especially since the article text specifically ties Mercier's statement to Weetzie Bat.
The citation given for the B.G. Censorship Watch does not, in fact, contain the stated quotation—at least not in the version available at the ALA's website. Was this article different in the paper version?

Those two-year-old problems are serious. Are they obsolete?

Reception continued

Today I inserted this comment at the head of section Reception (as I improved the 2009 Phoenix Award coverage, which should not be the lead sentence):

This section needs some attention to chronology. Readers should not need the reference publ dates for that. What was the contemporary reception? (beside winning no major annual book award, a negative that is equally true of most books, even most books with Wikipedia articles)
