Hello Schro, why stop now just because we've exhausted all the Bond books, eh? ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 13:16, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! My thoughts exactly - may as well polish off the only "junior Bond" book Fleming wrote! - SchroCat (^@) 17:19, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Toolbox checks

  • No dab link issues.
  • No external link issues.

Prose/content/structure

  • Happy with prose following my copyedit -- let me know if I unintentionally altered any meaning.
  • Characters: I'd have thought there should be more on the characters than a bare list. In the Bond novel articles this is a Characters and themes section; while I'd understand if there was nothing much to say on Chitty's theme, has no-one written anything about the characters? If not, then perhaps keep the list you have but briefly describe each one (a sentence or phrase each). Also any characters with WP articles should be linked, no?
    • Sadly not much has been written about the characters, but I've included a description about each of them. Let me know if this is what you have in mind, or if you want a little more on each of them. (And only Caractacus has his own article - now wlinked) - SchroCat (^@) 09:23, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Background: At the end of the first paragraph you mention Fleming suffering a heart attack during the Thunderball case, then at the beginning of the next paragraph you mention him suffering a heart attack two weeks after the case. If he did indeed suffer two heart attacks, the second should be identified as "a second" attack (or the first could be differentiated from the second as "a mild" attack). Or was it fact one heart attack and there's confusion about when it occurred?

Supporting materials

  • FUR for the book cover is fine.
  • While I can see the Zborowski car photo has been used a fair bit around WP, I'm not so sure about the licence: how can we be claiming PD status because it's 70 years after the photographer's death if we don't know who the photographer was?
