No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Overall the article is looking really good. There was some minor lang issues that I have fixed. However I ran the article through Earwig's Copyvio Detector and it has a 85.5% similarity with this blog wiki. Upon first glance, this is a blog wiki so I could just ignore (right?) but I'll take more time to look into it. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 04:42, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to be a fan website..a blog but not much information about it. One stark difference is that the blog does not cite any sources and it definitely isn't a secondary source. Nothing is verifiable in that blog whereas the article I'm reviewing is well cited and verifiable. There are no other similarities beside that blog and I assume good faith that contributors to the article wrote in their own words (and that blog took a large part of the Wikipedia article) so I am going to pass the nomination.

Yes, that blogs copies prose from Wikipedia for all of their articles. ℛonherry☘ 05:59, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

unrelated / incorrect citation[edit]

removed from the "Writing" section: citation to an article of literary criticism on author Jonathan Swift. Proper citation for that sentence (on Swift's inspiration) needed. -- Castle, Terry J.
