At the lowest reaches of Special:Longpages (#998 ranking at this edit), I came across this profile of a Romanian children's writer. Should be GA-ready soon, and made the rounds at WP:Did you know last August.

I note here that you have never made an edit to this article. It's a huge article, more than 135 kilobytes long, with 256 citations, quite a few of which are in Romanian. It would better if the main contributor, User:Dahn, requested a review, because he or she would be in the best position to make changes based on a reviewer's recommendations. That said, the article seems quite impressive on a quick read. Here is a very short and incomplete list of superficial things that need attention:

Nothing should be redlinked more than once in the article. Some are, Cartea Românească and The Story of the Pig, for example.

The tools in the toolbox at the top of this review page find three dead links in the citations.

Page ranges take en dashes rather than hyphens. I ran a script to fix these.

I'd suggest trying to get the article down to 100 kilobytes by one method or another. Reader fatigue sets in when articles get as long as this one.

I hope these suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog at WP:PR; that is where I found this one. I don't usually watch the PR archives or check corrections or changes. If my comments are unclear, please ping me on my talk page. Finetooth (talk) 00:23, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
