 * Hi, Fainites! Nice to see you again! Thanks for reviewing the article. Awadewit (talk) 21:05, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

1. Well written
 * I find this sentence First published in 1971, the book eventually contained a group of previously published newspaper articles as well as the short story "Ali's Smile", all of which address Scientology. a bit confusing. Would it better if it said First published in 1971 as the short story "Ali's Smile", the the book eventually contained a group of previously published newspaper articles all of which address Scientology.
 * This eventually comes a bit soon after the previous one. Burroughs had been interested in Scientology throughout the 1960s, believing that its methods might help combat a controlling society, eventually joining the Church of Scientology later in the decade. How about and he joined or some other wording.
 * expose should have an acute accent.
 * Should this be two sentences? He became increasingly disenchanted with the group and wrote a series of critical articles published in Mayfair;[18] he also forced one of their headquarters to move by publicizing photos of it.[19]

2. Factually accurate and verifiable

3. Broad in its coverage
 * Is there any particular reason why "Ali's Smile" is at the bottom of the description of contents? If not, it would be better at the top. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fainites (talk • contribs)
 * Comment: Yes good question, this is the order in which it appears in the book itself. (Essentially the bolded headings within that subsection follow the order of the book's table of contents.) Cirt (talk) 20:50, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I wondered if that were the case. Best leave it then. Fainites barley scribs 22:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
