Overall: @Justiyaya: Good article. However, i'm not going to approve the article due to a lack of a plot section that I feel the article needs. So adding it would be appreciated. Also the bold link in alt1 isn't correct. Onegreatjoke (talk) 00:38, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Justiyaya: good, but I feel like the plot is a bit too long, so a trimming would be nice. Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:15, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'll try to trim it a bit and expand other sections so they seem more proportional maybe tomorrow Justiyaya 08:20, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Onegreatjoke: sorry, got distracted by new page patrol and procrastinated a bit. I trimmed it a bit and its currently 15 words away from the recommended maximum of around 700 (MOS:PLOTLENGTH). I've also expanded everything else by a bit so hopefully it looks relatively shorter. Apologies again for the delay. Justiyaya 13:10, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Onegreatjoke: Is the article ready to be approved? Z1720 (talk) 19:07, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
i guess it's fine. More trimming can be done later. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:47, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Word Choice

[edit]

Referring to sentence: Garmus said that she doesn't share other commonalities with the Zott, instead claiming to have written her "role model".

The word 'claiming' implies disbelief. The word 'stating' would not infer judgement. Role model doesn't need quotes. The author's words from Ref. 7 are "I wrote my role model. I would like to be more like her." This conveys a little different thought. She wanted to write a character that provided her inspiration. ("Garmus claims" is similar a few sentences down.)

Referring to sentence: Prior to the auction, the eventual winner, Brie Larson, video called the author asking for her permission.

Awkward sentence. Brie Larson contacted the author by video to ask permission to make a bid. Scotter87 (talk) 02:36, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Scotter87, I've added them into the article. Feel free to edit the page directly next time :D Justiyaya 03:06, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
