Created by Morgan695 (talk). Self-nominated at 04:44, 23 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Winter Soldier (story arc); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

  • Passed copyvio check, the two possible violations were in fact quotes and given as quotes. Spot-checked the accessible sources, AGF on the offline sources. Interesting hook. Article long enough and new enough at the time of nomination.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 00:31, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    A few things need addressed before the article passes


  • Can the ISBN and TPB be added in the infobox since those parameters are listed? If not, I recommend just removing unused parameters
 Done I think I did that correctly. -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was written by Ed Brubaker, and drawn primarily by Steve Epting - the comma isn't needed

  • He noted that to reverse Bucky's death necessarily meant - I think a word is missing before necessarily
 Fixed I'm not sure, I think the word was meant as an adverb meant to further clarification altogether rather than conveying new info. -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Brubaker selected the name early in the pitch process, as it was name that "that could - another missing word and a double "that"
 Fixed Minor clarification -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there a reason that the ref at the end of the production section isn't list defined like the other refs?
Green tickY All web refs converted to LDRs -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same thing with the refs in the releases section
Green tickY All web refs converted to LDRs -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article isn't super long, but it is a bit quote heavy, so maybe try to clean that up a little where possible if you can.
 Fixed -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not absolutely necessary, but I recommend adding archives to the refs that are websites where possible.
Green tickY -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:58, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Images look good and all have proper licensing
  • Spotchecks: Check refs #7, #13, and #16 (as of this edit). All refs are used properly and the info in the article is supported by each of these refs.
  • Earwig also found no big issues. The 2 biggest matches were quotes which are properly cited.

Overall great job. Just a some minor things need cleaned up. I'll do spotchecks once everything else has been addressed. -- ZooBlazer 01:21, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ZooBlazer Hey there! It's good to see you here Zoo. I just decided to quickly pitch in and help decide to expedite the process here by going ahead and already take care of the above issues. Feel free to update me as the GAN progresses, both Zoo and the OP. -Dcdiehardfan (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dcdiehardfan Thanks for helping out! Everything looks good to go. I did the spot checks and checked Earwig. No issues came up, so I'm happy to pass the article. We didn't get to interact, but congrats @Morgan695! -- ZooBlazer 01:21, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
