This was very long in the queue. Time to review it.--Kürbis (✔) 20:30, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * " and Lena Henderson a local Geordie girl" - and Lena..., a local ...
 * "Theology" -> theology
 * In the lead it says he lost his faith, but it is not mentioned in the subsequent sections.
 * "and reviewing the novel in The New York Times, Anthony Boucher wrote, "Mr. Gardner succeeds in having it both ways: " Split from the sentence and start with, eg, "Upon reviewing the novel...."
 * That's all
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall: Hold--Kürbis (✔) 09:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Note I reverted this edit, as it introduced a strange error in the left sidebar. Hope you don't mind. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 20:35, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I reinserted this reference and now it is ok. Not sure what caused this error... Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 20:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi GOP, the three tweaks are done, as is the 'loss of faith' information, including a supporting citation. Many thanks for your time and your thoughts on this: it's much appreciated! Please let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to do. Cheers - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 11:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your changes. I will pass this article. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 13:36, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Cheers GOP/Kürbis: your efforts are hugely appreciated and I'm very glad that your retirement was only temporary—the project desperately needs to keep people like you on board! - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 16:25, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
