Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Peer review/The Last of the Masters
I've been giving this article a lot of attention over the past year, but recently ratcheted up my efforts to drive this to GA status. At this stage, I'd like some input from members of this project, as this is the first article for a short story I've put serious effort into, and I'm very unfamiliar with the unique type of attention this type of article needs. --Cast (talk) 06:46, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Update: This article has successfully passed a GA nomination since my initial request for a peer review. However, I would still like a review so as to improve it further for a potential FA nomination.--Cast (talk) 06:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- One suggestion, based on the (admittedly outdated) Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/ArticleTemplate, is to move the publication history to the end of the body of the article. The technical details about publishers and so on might lose readers early on, whereas a synopsis provides a more immersive, interesting point to start from. Skomorokh 03:19, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- I really like the pull quotes in the plot summary. FAC might force you to remove them all, but you should fight to keep at least two. Those are pretty interesting :-) The pull quotes in the analysis section could be integrated into the prose, though.
- Is there a picture of the cover anywhere? (was it ever published in book form?)
- Spaced emdashes are outlawed per MOS:DASH. Either spaced endashes or unspaced emdashes.
- In the bibliography: lulu.com?
- Be sure to take a look through The Sword of Shannara's FAC's for advice and possible objections you may recieve. Otherwise, great article! —Ed (Talk • Contribs) 21:57, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
