Book of Spells[edit]

  • Reviewed: Baldin Collection
  • Comment: I was aiming for this to be a double nomination, but couldn't get enough information together on the Wonderbook itself (without duplicating information from the Book of Spells article) to sneak past the 1500 character limit. I've tried to keep the hook catchy, but not intentionally promotional.

ALT1 ... that Book of Spells, an upcoming Wonderbook for PlayStation 3, is a companion to Harry Potter?
  • Since reviewers are not allowed to approve their own alternate hooks, can we please have an independent reviewer here? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:16, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I'm sorry! I wasn't sure what the protocol was for this, but I figured someone would step in if I messed up (which is what happened).--¿3family6 contribs 01:36, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
  • No problem! We all learn by doing. I think the article is borderline in terms of content size: while it is a couple of characters over the absolute minimum of 1500, there's a lot of duplication between the intro and the body of the article. Furthermore, there's a significant issue with sourcing: the cited [1] source does not state that this is the first Wonderbook, and the release "date", which only appears in the intro and not in the body, is not cited at all. (The sources I looked at say "at Christmas", which isn't very helpful, and doesn't even allow the use of "fall" as a time of year.) BlueMoonset (talk) 02:23, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I've added a cite to cover the Q4 release date, and added an additional cite to that sentence to confirm that it is the first Wonderbook release. Miyagawa (talk) 19:52, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Good to go. Date and length check. Alt1 hook is sourced. No copyvio found. Maile66 (talk) 00:55, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
