Hey
[edit]Hi there. I'm not quite sure if you do have enough time, but do tou think you're able to review? I actually based my FAC at Jill and some parts of your Ur-Quan article. Thanks! 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 13:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hey! I can find some time for this. It looks like a few other reviewers still have outstanding comments, so I might wait until one or two have finished before adding another opinion. Will be less confusing that way. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:58, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I did asked one of them and they said they will leave final comments tomorrow. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 22:21, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hey. I'm still kinda surprised that Ur-Quan survived FAC because of that usage of quotes (which was declared "excessive" from my article). I guess it really defends at the reviewers at this point. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 05:33, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- I had to cut back a lot of quotes, and they were right to ask me to cut it back. One thing is to make sure that you don't use too many quotes back to back -- 50% quotes and 50% summary is a good target. Also, if the quote is just a superlative ("they're amazing", "I love them"), you could easily substitute a summary. Vice versa, if the quote is something dense and analytical ("they are an example of the great man theory of history which posits that history is only written by great men, and the character illustrates this particularly at the moment in the third act of the story"), you absolutely do need to summarize it. There is a sweet spot in the middle, where a quote is interesting enough to add more than a short summary, but not so dense as to get lost in the weeds. That's just what worked for me, and you're right that different reviewers have different opinions. But I find there is less debate the closer you get to the sweet spot, and most reviewers will let things go once you are close enough. Shooterwalker (talk) 16:18, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tips. I mean yeah after I threw my second peer review, trseems like the reception section was my main issues, and thank god Aoba reviewerd it and it helped me. I hope the article will be there soon. 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 03:07, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- I encourage you to give it another shot. Even with the objections, it wasn't far off from FA. You'll get there. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:40, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- I will once the peer review is pretty inactive. I have since rewritten the reception section (feel free to take a look if you will). Thanks! 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 02:29, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Shooterwalker Hi. Can you review my FAC if you're able to. Thanks! 🍕Boneless Pizza!🍕 (🔔) 21:43, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- Added it to my watchlist. I promise to get to it in the coming weeks. Shooterwalker (talk) 13:40, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
