Review

Nice work on this. Some initial observations

• Section headers should follow MOS:HEADCAPS

 Done Best, Barkeep49 (talk)

• Finding an orphaned female bear ... he becomes Colebourn's regiment's mascot - shouldn't that be "she"?

Yes. Fixed. Best, Barkeep49 (talk)

• This is generally thought not to be the case judging ... the gender of Christopher Robin's doll, Edward. - There's no other mention of this doll, Edward, and I can't figure out the relevance.

Edward was a bear who was also an inspiration for the world of Winnie the Pooh. I added a word. Does this help? Best, Barkeep49 (talk)

It might help to say "later renamed Winnie the Pooh" or something that for people like me who know apparently absolutely nothing ;) Guettarda (talk) 04:48, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

• Refs 1, 3 & 11 go to Ebsco login pages, and 16 appears to be a search term. I don't think these links are helpful (a paywalled doi link is still helpful if it gives an abstract of first page, but this is just a login page). As is, I don't think these link are very helpful.

Certainly not helpful if you don't have a login - the references do note that they're Ebsco. However, if a person does have access they're able to see my work. I've added the subscription required template. Best, Barkeep49 (talk)

@Guettarda: Thanks for the review. See my comments above. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 21:13, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

A few more things

• The sources I can access call Lindsay Henry's great-granddaughter, not his granddaughter
• In the "Background and publication" section, you say She was moved to write the book to explain her son's name to him., but her son's name, Cole, is only mentioned in the second paragraph of the "Writing and illustrations" section, and it's never actually said that Cole is the child in the story. Maybe you could change the last sentence of the first paragraph of the "Background and publication" section from She was moved to write the book to explain her son's name to him to say ...to her son Cole's name.... That would make the rest of it a lot clearer.

(And aside, I'm charmed by this story. Thanks for writing this!) Guettarda (talk) 04:48, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Guettarda Thanks for the kind words. Both changes made. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:52, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Looks good. Congratulations! Guettarda (talk) 13:47, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Guettarda Thanks. Does this mean you're done with the review? I ask because I noticed you haven't yet done the stuff to pass the review. If you are still working on it no worries but I thought I would ping in case that part got skipped. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:04, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot to finish it. Done now. Guettarda (talk) 01:37, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
