Dibs on this one too actually. I think I can knock the initial review on both of these out this weekend so you can get started upon your return. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 18:37, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Criterion #1: Well written

• Lede is high quality, don't see any problems here.
• Background section also good.
• Again, despite his hesitation, his friends persuaded him might be clearer as Despite his hesitation, his friends again persuaded him
  • Yeah, swapped
• Rest of Concept and collection and Runway show seems good.
• Reception quite well written.
• Since McQueen is British and this uses British English, we should probably avoid false titles like "British fashion designer Alexander McQueen" or "Fashion theorist Caroline Evans" in lieu of " The fashion theorist Caroline Evans" and "The British fashion designer Alexander McQueen".
  • I've been consistently not doing the "the" since Widows; I find it inescapably clunky. It's not completely unacceptable in BrEng, just not the norm.

Criterion #2: Well-sourced

• Sourcing looks good and consistent, SFNs correctly formatted. I'm a bit confused why Mora & Berry 2022 and Arnold 1999 aren't using SFNs though; you only have one cite for Homer (albeit used many times).
  • Hm, yeah. My rule of thumb is books always get an sfn, journals get one if I'm reusing them. But I suppose that's not terribly intuitive to anyone not residing inside my brain. I'll fix.

• Citations are out of order in several places.
  • Should be fixed now

Spot check:

• 1a and 1b: Both check out.
• 10: Checks out.
• 15: Checks out.

It's accessible so I'll check all the Watt cites:

• 29: Yep, tho this is just on pg. 64, no need for the range. Might be good to mention the home was in Tooting just for some context.
  • Both done
• 31: Yep.
• 33a, b, and c: Yep on all.
• 40: Yup.
• 45a & B: Yes.
• 49: Yes.
• 56: Yep.
• 57: Yep.
• 58: Yep.
• 63: Checks out.
• 64: Good quote, checks out.
• 65: Yep.

• 52 & 53: Love random cites like this. Checks out ofc.

• 60: Checks out.
• 67: Checks out as well.

I'm impressed; you've really polished this one off! No major source discrepancies.

• Thanks! I'm a bit surprised, usually I fuck something up somewhere :P ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:20, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Criterion #3: Broad

I can't find any areas where coverage is lacking. Coverage is just as broad as your other McQueen collections.

Criterion #4: Neutral

Yup. Good mix of critical feedback that follows guidelines on reception.

Criterion #5: Stable

Yep.

Criterion #6: Illustrated

Good images, properly licensed. They don't have alt-text, which isnt a requirement but you should still add it.

@Premeditated Chaos: Just a couple things to respond to! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 20:50, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Laura! Changes made per suggestions, alt text is alted. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Looks good to me! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 14:20, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
