A favorite of mine. Happy to review this - if you have any interest in returning the favor I have a list of unreviewed nominations here. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 04:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead and infobox

This is very pedantic, but the image caption in the infobox strikes me as being potentially very slightly incorrect if the character's actual name is "Aaron" and not "A-a-ron"
"While taking roll, Garvey states the name of each person in the class" → could potentially give off the impression that he gets through everybody's name, which he does not

Plot

I'm not sure if this is an actionable point or just a thought, since I'm not sure what to suggest instead, but the formatting for Garvey's pronunciations seems a little unsatisfactory. I'm not entirely convinced throwing IPA in the middle of the paragraph is the best option:

...pronouncing each name incorrectly, including Jacqueline—pronounced /dʒeɪˈkwɛlɪn/ (jay-KWELL-in), Blake, pronounced...

It's just a little clunky and weirdly formal. Interested to hear your thoughts though I suspect your solution will probably end up being best.

Production

"Key used his "Gupta"—a term " → I'd move this one sentence up, to be right after the sentence about the emphasis of that first syllable
"early for yearbook photographs for their extracurricular clubs" → a bit repetitive with uses of "for"
"after telling him that he needs" → ditto with "him" and "he", which also introduce a bit of ambiguity; recommend "after telling Garvey that he needs"
"pronounced Jess-see-ca" → "s" in both the first and second syllable respelling seems unnecessary; it seems that this sound wouldn't span two syllables and would make more sense being classified as being part of either the first or the second

Reception and legacy

Update dated view count statement
"the fourth best" → hyphen
"seventh best" → as above
"attributed "Substitute Teacher" 's success" → to avoid the awkwardness with the quotes here, you could reword to "attributed the success of the sketch" or something similar
"The plot would purportedly involve" → this sounds strange in past tense

Analysis

"Qin also highlights" → switch to present tense from past
the bit about parallelism is a bit confusing without explanation of the term
"professor Kakali Bhattacharya reevaluates" → switch to present tense from past

That's all I have on the first read-through, take your time in getting to these! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:15, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All issues resolved. As for the pronunciations, a footnote could work, but I see no issue with the current implementation. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 05:45, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at the pronunciations again I'd agree. The spot checks I did all look good; awesome job with the article overall. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 07:36, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
