I Am NOT Going to Get Up Today! → I Am Not Going to Get Up Today! – The book cover uses ALLCAPS for "not" but we use Letter_case#Title_case. Timmyshin (talk) 01:52, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• Support. I don't see the relevance of the link given by the nominator. Libraries and booksellers use the title proper, which is given on the title page and on the title verso. Occasionally there are small differences between this title and the one on the cover, which is part of an artwork. Wikipedia follows authoritative secondary sources. The Library of Congress and Amazon both use the proposed title. Whiff of greatness (talk) 02:37, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
  • In this case, the title page displays the same artwork as the cover. That is to say, it gives the title as I Am NOT Going to Get up Today! (Note the lower cased "u".) The title verso gives I am not going to get up today![1] (This is also the Library of Congress title.) Whiff of greatness (talk) 22:14, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support per MOS:ALLCAPS and MOS:TM. - Station1 (talk) 22:06, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
• Yes, get rid of the all-caps for "not", and someone should also review which letters at the beginning of words are capitalized per MOS:CT. (Wikipedia has its own style guide and does not necessarily follow what sources do for capitalization in the titles of creative works.) —BarrelProof (talk) 00:18, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

A kid's book article with philosophy. I'm in. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:58, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Although this article is on the shorter end, which I normally complain about, it includes all the sections I would expect for broad coverage, and they are as complete as they can be based on the sourcing.

• In the lead I would identify Alexander as an actor, for context (and also in the body) - you can't necessarily assume people know who he is
• No gripes about the plot summary
• I feel like there might be a way to condense "written by Dr. Seuss. By the time Seuss began work on this book, his health had begun to fail." into a single sentence, although I won't die on the hill of trying to find it
• Since you later mention Seuss is a pseudonym, it might be worth mentioning it in the first sentence so it doesn't come as a surprise
• "It was the first one" - 'first one' reads a bit casually. Maybe "First work" or "First publication by Seuss in eight years"
• You managed to integrate Socrates pretty neatly, which is fun
• If you're trying to get this to FA level, I might suggest noting other books that Einhorn compares it to, but that's at your discretion and not GA-prohibitive
• "the method of Kenneth Burke" this is a bit opaque if you don't know who Burke is or what his method was.
• "its unpopularity relative to other Dr. Seuss books" - this comes from having Reception under Analysis, but right now this comes as a surprise to the reader. I realize Reception is combined with Legacy, but I think it still makes more sense to move it above Analysis
• Any particular reason why Common Sense Media is first? It's the only non-contemporary review, while the rest are from the 80s.

All of this is really FA-level nitpicking. There's nothing here that puts the article below the GACR or is worth holding up promotion over; take these as suggestions for improvement. No concerns with CV, image use (though I wish to god we had an image of a "Pineapple Butterscotch Ding Dang Doo"), and sourcing checked out. Good work! ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:39, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Untrue

It is twice called the only Dr. Seuss book not to be illustrated by Seuss himself, but I got here via Great Day for Up! illustrated by Quentin Blake. 147.235.207.189 (talk) 13:33, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
