edit

This really needs a clean up. There is no plot synopsis, it's just the blurb. There aren't any details on the characters. Also I reverted because of a comment with LOLZ in it. I'm guessing blurbs aren't allowed so I'll try and replace it by summing up the plot.--Nuclear froggy 18:16, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Real reviews

I have removed the so-called "reviews": this are not reviews but blurbs or extract from advertisements, unless sourced (each reference to a real review has to mention the author of the review, its title, when it was published etc.). As I already said in Talk:CHERUB talk page, if real sources proving the notability of the single books are not added, I shall propose the deletion of these articles, leaving just the main CHERUB article, where informations about each book can be merged. --Goochelaar 10:52, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Recruit cover big.jpg

Image:Recruit cover big.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Assessment

As requested on my talk page, I have assessed this article and moved it from Stub class to Start class. To improve, I recomend adding more reliable sources, ensuring that all comments are cited where possible, dramatically expanding the 'Critical Reception' section and either removing or expanding the 'Sequel' section. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 12:59, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
