Reviewer: JuneGloom07 Talk? 21:24, 6 April 2010 (UTC) Okay, this is a nice article, well done. There are no Dab links, Checklinks shows no dead or broken refs, the external links are fine and the image has the appropriate rationale.[reply]

A few things to be fixed -

Lead:

There appears to be a random The Guardian's floating around in the lower half. I assume another sentence was going to be written or was mostly removed.
- Do you mean The Guardian's Gareth McLean? Gareth McLean writes for The Guardian. anemoneprojectors talk 22:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At the end of the lead, just before it mentions June Brown's award nomination; The Guardian's Brown received... - JuneGloom07 Talk? 22:16, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah. I forgot you were refering to the lead. I searched "guardian" though and didn't find it! anemoneprojectors talk 22:23, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception:

Jim Shelley from Daily Mirror praised... - It looks like a 'the' is missing.
Reviews were not uniformly positive, however. - Can the 'however' be moved to the front of the sentence?
- Done both of those. anemoneprojectors talk 22:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Award nomination:

References:

The work and publisher fields need to all be linked or delinked to keep consistency.
- Done, I could only see one (The Guardian) anemoneprojectors talk 22:21, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Some publishers are missing, eg BBC News is published by the BBC, The Telegraph by Telegraph Media Group, The Stage by The Stage Newspaper Limited, etc.
- Done, but I haven't used the work field for BBC News as it shouldn't be italic. I actually changed to BBC News Online as I had two references from there, one with "Online" and one without, and BBC News Online seems more accurate. anemoneprojectors talk 22:21, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The Times is actually published by Times Newspapers Ltd (I only recently learnt that one myself).
- Done anemoneprojectors talk 22:21, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now, June, where exactly would you learn the publisher of The Times? I can't see any reason not to pass this, but if you give me a minute, I'm sure I can find something! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- There's nothing that would hold the GAN back, however, when you're dealing with attribution of quotes, it's better to be consistent with "person of place" or "place's person" (HJ Mitchell of Wikipedia v Wikipedia's HJ Mitchell). Also "The Guardian" is used several times very close together in the reception section. Like I say, nothing that would hold it back, but worth looking at.

  - Yes HJ, I learnt the The Times' publisher from you. Anemone, I'm happy to pass the article. :) - JuneGloom07 Talk? 23:48, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
