Hi. :) Will begin reviewing soon. Kaguya-chan (talk) 22:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Quote in lead needs a ref and the lead is a little short. Add the critical reception to lead?
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * The whole Poem section lacks a ref.
 * 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:
 * "It is known that the Ode to a Nightingale is considered among one of the greatest poems ever written in English Literature.[3]" Something about this does not seem neutral. In the author's opinion, maybe.
 * 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:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:

Comments:
 * Is it Ode to a Nightingale or "Ode to a Nightingale"?
 * Suggestion: In "In many of Keats's poems, Keats incorporates the internal vowel sound reptition in a conscious pattern." you could rewrite it to something like "In many of Keats's poems, he incorporates the internal vowel sound reptition in a conscious pattern."
 * "Ode to a Nightingale describes a series of conflicts between reality and the Romantic ideal." The Romantic ideal of reality?
 * Suggestion: "This emphasis on pleasure provoked Albert Guerard, Jr. to argue that..." Provoked sounds a little too strong here.


 * Overall, this is a nice, well-written article. :) I'm putting it on hold to give time for the comments to be addressed. Kaguya-chan (talk) 23:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * 1. Expanded the lead by about 4 lines. 2. I completely rewrote the poem section with references and poem extracts. 3. I moved the quote about it being a great poem down to Bate's reaction to the poem. 4. I took your suggestion about the ideal and I instead put "Romantic ideal of uniting with nature". I think it makes more sense now with the revised poem section. 5. I rewrote the two assonance sentences to read as one: "The poem also incorporates a complex reliance on assonance, a repetition of vowel sounds, in a conscious pattern as found in many of his poems." 6. I rewrote the Guerard sentence to read: "Responding to this emphasis on pleasure, Albert Guerard, Jr. argue". Ottava Rima (talk) 03:09, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Wonderful work. :) Since all the concerns have been addressed, I will now pass the article. Kaguya-chan (talk) 16:39, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
