1) Did your partner follow the format guidelines for a Wikipedia article (contains a lead and a reference list, the right things are bolded, section headings are correct, etc.)? If not, what needs to be altered to make it look like a Wikipedia article? The format is all correct and looks like a Wikipedia article.

2) Is the article well-written? (“its prose is engaging, even brilliant, and of a professional standard”) Select one sentence that you consider to be well-written. Also select at least one sentence where the writing could be clarified or polished up to make the article more interesting and informative.

Well-written: I like the first sentence of the Plot section simply because it goes right into the storyline. There's no analysis of the book or anything, it's simple and straightforward and easy to understand.

Needs work: I don't think there are any sentences that really need work.

3) Is the article comprehensive? (“it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context”) List one section of the article you find to be very comprehensive. Also list one section of the article that needs to be expanded or contextualized better to make the article more complete and persuasive.

Comprehensive: The Plot section is super comprehensive.

Needs work: I think the Adaptations section is small and very short however, there's not much you can say about adaptations and I think the section is fine the way it is.

4) Is the article well-researched? (“it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature”) If the sources listed are from websites, follow the links. List each website and include whether you find it to be credible or not.

Websites: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/bitter-blood-jerry-bledsoe/1001894533 I think this is credible because it's from Barnes & Noble. There's a lot of information about the book on this site including reviews and factual content. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110124/ This is a credible source because it gives factual information about adaptations of the book and that's the only information used from the site.

5) Is the article neutral? (“it presents views fairly and without bias”) Does it fulfill the Wikipedia ideal of Neutral Point of View (NPOV)? Include any sentences that appear to be biased.

Biased sentences: I don't think the article is bias at all.

6) Is the article of the correct length? (“It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail”) Does it meet the minimum length requirement for the class of 2 pages of text double spaced? It seems short but I think the article is an appropriate length for what it's about. If it were longer, it may be obnoxious and too much and it could take away from the comprehensiveness.

Replaceable fair use File:New Rockingham County Courthouse in Wentworth, NC.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:New Rockingham County Courthouse in Wentworth, NC.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
