Starts the Good Article Review. The review will follow the same sections of the article. -- Whiteguru (talk) 08:01, 20 September 2020 (UTC) 

Lead

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) Lead is simple and concise, introduces Afrofuturism and explains the inclusion of varia short stories.

Background

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) The background to the creation of the short stories is well scribed.
 * 3) The comment on self-reassuring "comfort fiction" is a telling point of reference for understanding the departure point for the short stories. A good inclusion.

Style and Themes

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) Although the opportunity is present to lump everything into Science Fiction and Fantasy as a default category for the short stories, it is good to see references to alternate history steampunk, climate fiction, sword and sorcery, post-apocalyptic fiction and cyberpunk, illustrating the range of Jemisin's writing prowess.

Synopsis and format

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) The table is well laid out and illustrated with synopsis for each short story.

Publication and reception

 * 1) Is it reasonably well written?
 * 2) There is a varied account of the reception of this collection, again showing the strengths of this author.

End Matter

 * 1) It is Broad in its coverage?
 * 2) Strong references, strong reviews, in fact, terrific reviews!
 * 3) Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
 * 4) As a preview or inview into a collection of short stories, it accomplishes the task.
 * 5) References are succinct and appropriate.
 * 6) Categories: I wonder if the Science Fiction Anthologies category is relevant?
 * 7) Works Cited: all examined.
 * 8) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * 9) A neutral point of view is given in this article.
 * 10) Is it stable?
 * 11) Page is created on 22 February 2019 and has had 1,178 page views in the past 30 days. A total of 13,732 pages views for the life of this article.  It has received a total of 17 edits from 5 human authors, and there are 40 links to this page. There is no evidence of edit warring, so considered a stable page.
 * 12) It is illustrated by images : The book cover looks good. You can't get a free book cover within the WP:NFCC ?
 * 13) Overall: Pass ✅


 * Thanks. I have added the cover photo. You're right that it looks good (fantastic, in fact) and in looking it up I found 2 more references to use. The anthologies category is for collections with stories from multiple authors. maclean (talk) 19:03, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
