Comments from Reidgreg

I don't want to interrupt this review process, but I was already doing some follow-up on the WP:GOCER copy edit of the article, with particular attention to close paraphrasing and quotations. I have not directly edited the article and will post my notes here as advice. I yield to the GA reviewer who I'm sure will do a more thorough job of examining the article.

A few possible changes (not needed, but nice):

Paraphrasing:

I see you've done quite a few DYKs and GAs, so you're probably familiar with the Earwig tool which can help identify potential copyvio. If you haven't already, feel free to list this article at WP:CAN10K. Please ((ping|Reidgreg)) if you have any questions. – Reidgreg (talk) 13:15, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Observations

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):
  • There is excessive linking in the infobox. I think we can remove links to 'Canadian literature' and 'Hardback' from the infobox.
  •  Done
  1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
  • Copyvio check completed: no issues.
  1. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  • Given this is a children's picture book, the reviews are important and have been well utilised.
  • In the Reception section, it tells, Critics praised the book and some readers may ask who?. Are we referring to critics or reviewers here?
  •  Done revised it to "Reviewers".
  1. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  • NPOV is presented in the article.
  1. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  • Page created 11 April 2021
  • Page has had 9 editors for 67 edits;
  • 1,599 page views in the last 60 days
  • page is considered stable
  1. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  • Birdsong (Julie Flett 2019) book cover.jpg = Non-free use rationale book cover: (acceptable for picture book)
  1. Overall:
  • If we can attend to the minor issues raised above, the article will likely pass the GA Review. --Whiteguru (talk) 07:25, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
