I'll review this article. Initial comments will hopefully be posted soon. --1ST7 (talk) 04:34, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

• Thank you for taking on the review, I'm looking forward to it.--ColonelHenry (talk) 04:44, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I apologize for the delay; I've been sick and wanted to do this with a clear head. Here's the review:

1. Well-written
   • The lead is a little confusing about the portrayal of Simeon - it says that he is depicted as "just and devout" but also that he is given a negative portrayal. Can you please give more explanation for this?
   1. • Addressed. Without going into excessive detail in the lede, I rephrased the latter sentence regarding the negative portrayal. The just and devout is in reference to the Gospel account which describes Simeon as such.--ColonelHenry (talk) 06:57, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
   • Please mention Eliot's nationality in the opening sentence.
   1. • Done. That might pose a sticky-wicket, as the parent article T. S. Eliot had a mini-edit war over how to describe him. I put "American-English poet" since Britannica does so.--ColonelHenry (talk) 06:49, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
   • "Faber & Gwyer, Ltd., printed the 'A Song for Simeon' in an 8½" × 5½" Demy Octavo..." I don't think "the" is necessary.
   1. • Done. --ColonelHenry (talk) 06:49, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
   • Please capitalize the first letter of each bullet point under "Gospel narrative and the Nunc dimittis".
   1. • Done. --ColonelHenry (talk) 06:52, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
2. Verifiable with no original research:
3. Broad in its coverage:
   • What was Eliot's religion before he converted to Christianity?
   1. • Done. Unitarian, revised. --ColonelHenry (talk) 07:18, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
4. Neutral:
5. Stable:
   • No edit wars, etc.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by images:

I'm going to put the article on hold for a week to give you time to address these things. Thanks for your work! --1ST7 (talk) 06:35, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

• @1ST7: Don't think I need a week, hopefully the above responses are sufficient.--ColonelHenry (talk) 07:18, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

The article looks good to go now, so I'm passing it. Thanks again for your work; you did an excellent job on this one! --1ST7 (talk) 07:30, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
