I'll review this article. Initial comments will hopefully be posted soon. --1ST7 (talk) 04:34, 29 November 2013 (UTC) I apologize for the delay; I've been sick and wanted to do this with a clear head. Here's the review: I'm going to put the article on hold for a week to give you time to address these things. Thanks for your work! --1ST7 (talk) 06:35, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking on the review, I'm looking forward to it.--ColonelHenry (talk) 04:44, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Well-written
 * 2) *The lead is a little confusing about the portrayal of Simeon - it says that he is depicted as "just and devout" but also that he is given a negative portrayal. Can you please give more explanation for this?
 * 3) * Addressed. Without going into excessive detail in the lede, I rephrased the latter sentence regarding the negative portrayal. The just and devout is in reference to the Gospel account which describes Simeon as such.--ColonelHenry (talk) 06:57, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) *Please mention Eliot's nationality in the opening sentence.
 * 5) * Done. That might pose a sticky-wicket, as the parent article T. S. Eliot had a mini-edit war over how to describe him. I put "American-English poet" since Britannica does so.--ColonelHenry (talk) 06:49, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) *"Faber & Gwyer, Ltd., printed the 'A Song for Simeon' in an 8½" × 5½" Demy Octavo..." I don't think "the" is necessary.
 * 7) * Done. --ColonelHenry (talk) 06:49, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * 8) *Please capitalize the first letter of each bullet point under "Gospel narrative and the Nunc dimittis".
 * 9) * Done. --ColonelHenry (talk) 06:52, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * 10) Verifiable with no original research:
 * 11) Broad in its coverage:
 * 12) *What was Eliot's religion before he converted to Christianity?
 * 13) * Done. Unitarian, revised. --ColonelHenry (talk) 07:18, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * 14) Neutral:
 * 15) Stable:
 * 16) *No edit wars, etc.
 * 17) Illustrated, if possible, by images:
 * Don't think I need a week, hopefully the above responses are sufficient.--ColonelHenry (talk) 07:18, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The article looks good to go now, so I'm passing it. Thanks again for your work; you did an excellent job on this one! --1ST7 (talk) 07:30, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
