Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Peer review/Jean-Claude Mézières

Jean-Claude Mézières
I confirm that I have completed the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. This article attained B-status in its quality assesment. I have expanded the lead section as per feedback received and am now submitting for peer review as suggested. Would like to attain GA status. Joe King 19:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Nice article. Some comments: You should nominate it for GA, I think you won't have many problems. Nat91 05:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The inline citations go after the full stop, comma or semicolon. Try to fix that.
 * As for the section named "America", personally, to me that word means the American continent (I'm from Argentina). Perhaps you should call it "Work in the United States" or something similar if he only worked there.
 * The picture in the infobox doesn't have a fair use rationale, add it. Also, it would be good if you could find another picture related to his work, since the article only has one picture.
 * Thanks for the comments. In response:
 * Inline citations fixed (thank God for "find and replace")
 * Very good point about America. Section renamed.
 * Added rational for the infobox picture. Regarding additional images, as I understand it fair use only allows the use of one image to illustrate an article.  I'd love to add more but I'm not sure it's possible.

 * I don't think you'll have problems for adding another picture. I've seen FAs with 2 or 3 fair use images. Nat91 06:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Nicely done. Some remarks for further improvement:
 * You should turn "Awards" into prose. Like now it is a trivia section and trivia sections are no more recommended.
 * "Christin, Pierre, Mézières, Jean-Claude (2002). Les Correspondances de Pierre Christin : Adieu rêve américain (in French). Paris: Dargaud. ISBN 2-205-04904-6." You mention you source, but you don't citate the exact page. The same with "Lofficier, Jean-Marc and Randy (2004). Shadowmen 2. Heroes and Villains of French Comics. Encino, California: Black Coat Press. ISBN 0-9740711-8-8".
 * You have a variety of sources, but you overwhelmingly citate the first two ofyour sources. Try to have  a better distribution of your citations.
 * I repeat what Nat91 mentioned: According to WP:MoS, citations go straight after punctuation marks.--Yannismarou 12:42, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Again, thanks for the kind comments and the useful feedback. In response:
 * The Awards section was originally prose but changed to a list by another editor. I did think about changing back but felt, in the end, that a list was a better way of conveying the information.  I could go back to prose but I remain unconvinced about what value that would add to the article - as it stands I think as a list it's more useful and makes it easier for a reader to extract the information it seeks to impart (which, after all, is the ultimate purpose of an encylopedia).  Your point about Trivia sections is well made but, I feel, does not apply here - each list item remains relevant to the section it is in whereas Trivia sections usually present endless lists of wildly disjointed and useless information - the trivia sections in The Fifth Element and Blake's 7 are a case in point.
 * Your call! You may be right!--Yannismarou 07:05, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Page numbers for the Lofficers book added. Page number not needed for Adieu rêve américain since the entire book is quoted.
 * Not being based in France makes accessing sources difficult. I accept your point but I don't think there's much that can be done about it.
 * As mentioned above, inline citations are now fixed.

I don't have anything to add to the above; I did some copyedits... I also think it's ready for GA! --plange 00:01, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It's always useful to have someone with fresh eyes do this. Much appreciated. BTW, I've nominated the article for GA this morning. Joe King 13:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
