Comment Upon second review I consider ALT0a to read a little better. It remains consistent with the sourcing, though I welcome further feedback. ResonantDistortion21:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overall: Thank you for this interesting article. Just one minor issue:
Neutrality can be a delicate thing. The "nasty, brutish and not short enough" review balances the other reviews, so the body of the article is neutral in that respect. But the header only says "critically well-received", which is not neutral, and sounds like an advertisement. So please neutralise the header?
I have given the article a minor copyedit, and added a missing reference. That does not affect this DYK nomination.
Thank you for the review Storye book. Fair point - as ever I have aimed for neutrality, however this was not wholly reflected in the lead. I have edited the section to try and resolve this. Furthermore your copyedit improvement is most appreciated. ResonantDistortion22:09, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Bremps. I am not sure it is a judgement call - as the ISFDB general disclaimer [1] states the site is user generated with no peer review, therefore not reliable by WP standards. Also WP:DOB applies. ResonantDistortion22:47, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
