WP:LAYOUT:

• Fix section Personal life (MOS:PARAGRAPHS). The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading. Either this section should be merged into the previous section, or else more information on the character's personal life should be added.
  • Rearranged.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:28, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

WP:WTW:

• Puffery (WP:PEA)
  • Use a different heading for section Critical acclaim. Many FAs on fictional characters refer to "Reception" or "Critical reception", which would be more neutral.
    • done.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:29, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
• Synonyms for said (WP:SAY)

• • Fix "Parker further notes that". What follows is his interpretation, so a verb like "assesses" or "opines".
    • O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:31, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Fix "Laura Bennett of The New Republic notes". This is really an opinion.
    • Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:34, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
