Reviewer:  The Flash  {talk} 02:55, 2 January 2010 (UTC) Hiya. I caught this quaint little article while sifting through GAN, and it's a sure-fire pass for GA. I'll be conducting the review in the manner of Talk:I Married Marge/GA1. Let's start. :)  The Flash  {talk} 02:55, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Lead

 * Short but to the point—nice.

Content

 * "Colbert explains in the introduction of his book[...]" → "[...]of the book[...]" as to not confuse readers that you're talking about a different book.
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * There's some times where it strays from "he explains" to "he commented," so please pick one tense to stick with.
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Background

 * Please explain that his nephew and nieces are children before you refer to them as "the children."
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Wikilink to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps change "[...]began to notice mythology references in the book" to "[...]notice mythological references[...]"
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you merge the second and third sentences in the last paragraph?
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Publication and reception

 * Same as above—work with fixing tenses to be consistent.
 * What parts are you referring to?  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind, after another read, the issues I had with that are to minor to count.  The Flash  {talk} 17:27, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * "The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter has been praised for learning children about literature and history" → "[...]praised for teaching children[...]"
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Please give a brief explanation about the Narnia book, like what you said about the Lord of the Rings one.
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Images

 * Can you add one of these images? From what I can tell, book FU images are like those of films and video games: infobox images are perfectly fine to use for identification purposes.
 * I don't feel an infobox image is useful here.  The left orium  17:35, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Any particular reason, though?  The Flash  {talk} 18:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I just don't see why we should use a non-free image in this article when it's not useful.  The left orium  18:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * It is useful—identification purposes.  The Flash  {talk} 19:52, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * People can identify the book by reading the text, IMO.  The left orium  19:55, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The people at WP:NFC seemed okay with it so I've added the cover art. I can't come up with any ALT text for it so feel free to do that yourself if you think it's necessary for GA.  The left orium  21:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks; I've added ALT text for you.  The Flash  {talk} 03:21, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Both images are fine—but can you please add some ALT text?
 * ✅  The left orium  11:49, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
