Summary
This novel's summary needs to be tightened up. It doesn't make grammatical sense.

GA Nomination
I'm going to put this article on hold until a few issues are sorted out. Heres a guide for you:
 * GA review (see here for criteria)

Basically the prose, particularly in the plot section, needs work, and more references need to be found. Other than that, it does look like a very good article. Grover 11:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * 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.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * 1) It is stable.
 * 2) It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * 1) Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:
 * a Pass/Fail:
 * Hi, thanks for your time in reviewing this article. Specifically, which portions do you think need more references? I will see what I can do about the plot summary section. Thanks.  howcheng  {chat} 16:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok there are a few sections:
 * 1) The second paragraph of the lead may need one or two references eg "Initially serialized in the Christian Union on a weekly basis" is unsourced.
 * 2) The first paragraph of Major themes is entirely unreferenced. This may need one or two references again, especially for the quote included. Also a few more in the other paragraphs wouldn't hurt.(I may be wrong though. Do those references at the end of each paragraph signify that the whole paragraph was sourced from that reference? If so thats fine.)
 * 3) Again, some paragraphs in Cultural impact are not referenced.

In regards to the prose, really only very minor tweaking is needed, so if a few more references are found, thats fine with me. Good luck! :) Grover 02:29, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, nice work in a very short period of time! I think that's enough for a good article. Well done to all and good luck in the future! Grover 08:08, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Bringing the article back to GA standard
I've gone through the text copyediting and doing some minor work. Fixed the issues that were had with NPOV, added a (very brief) section about adaptations. The "plot" section needs heavy editing imo, to bring it up to the standard of the rest of the article. I don't know the novel, however, so I leave that to others. Same goes for the needed citations. Did a quick google search, but couldn't find anything useful. Perhaps someone who has actually read the book will have better luck. Norwaystudent (talk) 22:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
