Opening statement
Hello, and come what may from this review, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. During the review, I may make copyedits, which I will limit to spelling correction and minor changes to punctuation (removal of double spaces and such). I will only make substantive edits that change the flow and structure of the prose if I previously suggested and it is necessary. The Nominator(s) should understand that I am a grammar pedant, and I will nitpick in the interest of prose quality. For responding to my comments, please use ✅,, , ❌, , or , followed by any comment you'd like to make. I will be crossing out my comments as they are redressed, and only mine. A detailed, section-by-section review will follow. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  03:37, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

This article is... massive, and this review will take a while. Expect me to read a couple sections at a time and to take frequent breaks. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  03:37, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Thank you for this grand undertaking :) I totally understand it will take a while. Took me a while to write the thing! Been at it since last year. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 17:58, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Will you still be able to tackle this? If not, totally fine, just lemme know so I can find another reviewer :) CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 20:16, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I am; I'm just waiting on my comments in #Refrencing to be addressed. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  22:14, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , Oooh, sorry, didn't realize you wanted each section to be addressed in turn, I haven't done it that way before CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 22:39, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't, and I should have explained that. I just take referencing seriously, and like to gauge receptiveness to input with first sections. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  23:41, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Captain, I must offer you my apologies, but I cannot continue this review. I have decided to temporarily pull back from Wikipedia for some soul-searching. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  12:28, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Referencing
I'll start here. The referencing is reliable, but also a mess.
 * There are books and journal essays with long-form citations in #Notes that should be moved into #References.
 * The short-form in-line citations are not uniformly SFN or uniformly not SFN. Uniform SFN format is desirable unto requirement for an article this size.
 * There are broken SFNs in #Notes.
 * There are long-form citations under #References that do not have in-line citations leading to them.
 * There are missing ISBNs.
