Date, length and hooks all OK. My preferences are for either ALT0 or ALT2. QPQ done. No close paraphrasing. No picture used. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:34, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I question the length of the lead, especially for a fictional character. IMO all the characterization described in the lead should be moved to a section in the main article. Yoninah (talk) 20:50, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
- All of the characterisation info mentioned in the lead is already in the article. I can have a go at trimming it, but I have to ask if this was an article about a real person, would the length of the lead be an issue? - JuneGloom07 Talk 22:42, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- @JuneGloom07: Yes, if it was as long as this one. Yoninah (talk) 22:52, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Thank you. I think fictional characters get short shrift from a lot of editors, so I get a bit defensive. It just seemed like you were saying the lead was too much for a character, but not for a real person. I have trimmed it. - JuneGloom07 Talk 14:45, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
