It would be nice to find sources for the extensive changes that were made between the series and the final book.

It would also be nice to find a source about the "Why Louis Riel's Parents Got Married" strip in the back of Louis Riel issue #9, especially as to why it wasn't included in the final book. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 09:44, 11 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.

    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

  1. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
Comments/Questions
  • In "Background", "in the end decided to "wing it"." - this appears to be an uncited quote. Quotes are typically used when it is important to capture the authors exact words (like explaining someone's opinion) but I don't see why a quote is useful here.
"wing it" were the words Brown used in the Two Handed Man interview, and since it was kind of slangy, I thought it would be best to put it in quotes. Looking at it now, I think it would be better to change it to "improvise" anyways. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 21:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • This is not part of the GA criteria but I will ask it here anyways. Is the "Works cited" section supposed to be alphabetical by author's last name? It appears that way except for 4 entries.
That would be an embarrassing oversight on my part. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 21:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • Why spell role as "rôle"?
It's the obnoxious way I happen to spell it in real life. Technically, it's an "accepted" way to write it in English. If anyone were to change it, I wouldn't lift a finger to stop it, though. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 21:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • It appears Brown was nominated for Best Cartoonist (Harvy Awards) in 2003 + 2004? [1] [2]
I don't know how I missed those. Thanks for pointing them out. CüRlyTüRkeyTalkContribs 21:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Conclusion

This is an excellent article. I have passed it as a Good Article and I would support it as Featured Article if nominated.
