  •   Done
  • "The novel is set in" It is set.
  •   Done
  • "a Boy Scouts summer camp" do we know where?
  • I couldn't find an exact location in any reliable source.
  •   Done
  • "the last week of Aiden Navarro," like literally he's going to die? The plot ends with "suicide ideation" so I'm not clear.
  • Haha, reading that sentence again, you are very much correct that it gives that impression. Rewrote it to be clearer Aiden goes back home.
  • " Boy Scouts summer" link here too.
  •   Done
  • "public high school" link.
  •   Done
  • ""Navarro is also excited, since he has always been a good scout." not sure I understand the link between that and going to a public high school.
  • I've rewrote the two sentences to make it clearer he was excited about going to camp, but nervous about high school.
  • One sentence of the whole plot is referenced, why?
  • I usually reference sentences which could be challenged, usually for being interpretations of the text, which I felt was the case here. If you feel it's unnecessary, I can remove it.
  • "sharing about more intimate " about not necessary.
  •   Done
  • " the toxic masculinity and homophobia present in the Boy Scouts and Catholic organizations" this sounds like someone's opinion rather than encyclopedic fact.
  • I've rewrote so it doesn't attribute the characteristics to the institutions, since only one source says that.
  • "had a Catholic upbringing" leaving it late in the article to link Catholic.
  • Moved the wikilink to the plot section.
  • "bullying suffered by Aiden at home" is this his Catholic upbringing, because the plot doesn't mention any bullying at home.
  • I've removed the mention of his home
  • "and Kampung Boy" that's called The Kampung Boy.
  •   Done
  • "such as queen" no need for italics.
  •   Done
  • "in Horn Book Magazine's" it was The Horn Book Magazine before.
  •   Done
  • Don't force the references into one column.
  • The reflist was probably defaulting to one column due to bad wikicode from my part. Should be fixed now.
  • Pick a date format and stick with it, consistently.
  • I've changed the date of the first source, which used day-month-year, to month-day-year. All the dates should be formatted correctly, as far as I can tell.

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 18:17, 3 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
