New article is 4,251 characters long and nominated on the same day as its creation. No copyvios detected and no close paraphrasing issues spotted (AGF scanned refs which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 129 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 2 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source (accessed and read behind JSTOR paywall). QPQ done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 00:46, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

The only possible "issue" someone could imagine is the Quote of Linda Gowans, in a review for the "Jahrbuch für Volksliedforschung", I guess the quote was in german (was not able to fetch it) (?) per mos:foreignquote. Everything else looks fine.

CommanderWaterford, the first three episodes of Handmaid's Tale dropped, and I gotta say, you have not gotten any better as a human being. Very sad. The quote from Gowans is from the last paragraph of the article (which is in English): "The book has deservedly been awarded The Folklore Society's Katharine Briggs Prize for 1996 - a laurel on which one trusts that Constantine will not long be allowed to rest. She has provided a pioneering guide to an exceptionally perilous forest, and the results of her exploration of new trails will be eagerly awaited." Thanks for the review--I appreciate it!
