I'll be glad to do this review. I'll do a close readthrough in the next day or two, noting any initial issues I see, and then start the criteria checklist. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 20:59, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Initial readthrough
On first pass, this looks like strong, quality work. I don't anticipate many problems in this passing GA.


 * It would be helpful to add a half-sentence on what the Massey Lectures are, though of course it can be inferred.
 * "Gopnik claims" -- avoid if possible per WP:WTA. Perhaps "Gopnik later stated by the end of the 20-minute bus ride"?
 * I think it would be helpful to split the "Background" and "Content" sections into at least two paragraphs each, but this isn't a factor for this review, just a suggestion.
 * "from being portrayed as bleak and bitter or sweet and sublime" --should this be "to sweet and sublime"? Or does he argue that winter was formerly considered bleak and sweet by different people?
 * The block quotation is well chosen, very good touch there.

Since this appears close to ready, I'll begin the checklist now. -- Khazar2 (talk) 21:32, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
