Improved to Good Article status by Isabelle Belato (talk). Self-nominated at 03:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is a recent GA, long enough and sourced. No copyvio on Earwig. Hooks are cited and interesting. The only problem with ALT2 is that the source (and others I found online) seems to indicate that the book was intended as a homage, rather than a retelling of the Berenstain Bears, so the hook should be tweaked. Other than that it looks great! Once qpq has been provided this nom should be good to go. BuySomeApples (talk) 05:17, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

• Hi and thanks for the review, BuySomeApples! I'd like to add Template:Did you know nominations/Naoki Saito as a QPQ, although I'm awaiting for the nominator's answer about their hook. Concerning the advice, I believe you meant Alt1, since that's the on which mention the Berenstain Bears? I've tweaked it (source should be the same). Isabelle ^🔔 15:11, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

• Alt1b: that Scary Stories for Young Foxes was initially planned to be an homage to the old Berenstain Bears scary stories?

@Isabelle Belato: Thank you for adding the qpq and tweaking the alt hook! You're right I meant ALT1 (sorry about that hehe). This nom looks all ready now. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:47, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
