  • I moved Newton's image down to the second paragraph so that he wouldn't be confused with the author who is the subject of the first paragraph. --Jaldous1 (talk) 23:31, 18 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • I think I got lucky with my first GA article. This definitely meets seven criteria set out in WP:RGA--it is well written, provides great use of reliable sources and citations. Good use of notes also for easy access to podcasts and videos.
  • I also believe this is a good example of a non-fiction book article as it covers not just a summary of the book but also the background on the creation of the book.
  • the critical review section also is balanced--covering both good and bad reception.
  • the only thing I'd like to see a bit more on is maybe the name of the book's editor if Hochschild mentioned him in any interviews or perhaps in the book's forward or acknowledgements. Or mention of publishing campaigns, print-runs, etc. It isn't necessary to fix to make this a good article, my personal focus is on publishing history and editors serving as a driving force in our culture and ideas so it something I look for.
  • I say, "Pass."--Jaldous1 (talk) 23:31, 18 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
