• @Dr Aaij: Almost everything looks fine, but it seems that "catalog" in the hook should be "catalogue" since that is the spelling in the reference. SL93 (talk) 06:51, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

• SL93, please look at the source again. The reviewer seems to use "catalogue", but the poet used "catalog" and my quote is a direct quote. Thanks! Dr Aaij (talk) 21:33, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

• I got two quotes mixed up. This is good to go. SL93 (talk) 01:55, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
