Great work here. Just some copy tweaks (MOS:INOROUT trips you up a fair bit) and this will be ready. 7-day hold to. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:09, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Lead

 * in the last couple of decades I wonder if there's something more durable for the lead.
 * the reality television series, RuPaul's Drag Race Remove this comma *and* the word "the". The show isn't inessential information that can be placed into an appositive. If I read an article that said "Journal issues have been devoted to David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Keanu Reeves, and the reality television series", I'd ask which one.
 * brought in a network of international media, film, and television scholars together This is kind of a fluffy line. If it's worth keeping, remove "in".

History

 * who in 2006, published a review of recent debates about celebrity Complete the appositive by adding a comma after "who".
 * In the inaugural issue of the journal, the co-editors note that "noted", use past tense
 * Such a task of "uncovering and analyzing the systems and structures" of celebrity, lies at the Remove unneeded comma
 * that celebrity studies was "more central to understanding the everyday than maths, English or science." This happens quite a few times: you're quoting a fragment of a sentence, so quotation mark before period. See MOS:INOROUT.
 * was titled: "Avatar Obama in the Age of Liquid Celebrity." No need for the colon (also another INOROUT issue).
 * Graeme Turner, Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Queensland, was featured in the invitation-only first issue of the journal where Add a comma after "journal"
 * Additionally, Turner issued a challenge to other academics that celebrity studies scholars do more than contribute to the "discursive regime surrounding celebrity," and instead A comma you don't need. User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences (CinS)
 * Holmes and Redmond attribute ... Additionally, the editors believe I'd use past tense here.

Notable studies

 * titled, "And Bringing Up the Rear: Pippa Middleton, Her Derrière and Celebrity." No need for the title (also another INOROUT issue).
 * McCabe wrote that "The, maybe wrote, "The?
 * under the headline: "Meghan accused of dropping feminism like a hot potato." No colon, INOROUT
 * Clancy and Yelin criticized the headline as "problematically inaccurate" and Yelin later appeared You need a comma after "problematically inaccurate", outside the quotes (CinS).

Sourcing and spot checks
Earwig's highest number, a 37.1% to the Guardian article about the Pippa Middleton buttocks study, is mostly a cited quote as well as the title of the work. Indeed, journal article titles tend to skew up the results. I don't have issues.

Nine sources of the 92 were selected for spot checks.


 * 7: The volume of celebrity studies scholarship led to Holmes and Redmond (2006) review of recent debates about celebrity, which examined celebrity culture across a wide range of media and contexts. The expansion of celebrity studies continued with the launch of the journal Celebrity Studies in 2010 ✅
 * 17: Can't access.
 * 23: The first was the establishment of an academic journal entitled, simply, Celebrity Studies and dedicated to exploring the ongoing relevance of celebrity to a number of academic disciplines, from literary studies to sociology to political science. ✅
 * 24: Edited by a highbrow panel of 15 editors based at universities in the UK and overseas Wonder if this might be reworded a bit? I almost thought they had an editorial board of 30. ✅
 * 48: Shortlisting of journal for ALPSP award. ✅
 * 72: While the body of The Sunday Times article represented our work reasonably well, the title ‘Academics accuse Meghan Markle of dropping feminism like a hot potato’ proved problematically inaccurate ✅
 * 76: Can't access.
 * 79: That it is possible to publish national material in an international journal is evidenced by Brent McDonald and Daniel Eagles’ (2012) examination of Australian diver Matthew Mitcham as a gay sporting icon citing an article titled "Matthew Mitcham: the narrative of a gay sporting icon" ✅
 * 83: Can't access.

Other items

 * The cover art has a valid NFUR. All of the other items are appropriately licensed. I wonder about the visual value of File:Study on Keanu Reeves.pdf. Images need alt text.
