Book articles

Hi! I saw that you were working on a book draft prior to it being deleted as stale. I wanted to give you some general tips and feedback about the draft, since book related articles are kind of my jam.

• For the section about the differences, this would need to have sourcing of some type and be more concrete, so as to avoid issues of original research. It's why most book or adaptation articles lack a section of this nature, so I recommend leaving it out until you find good sourcing for this.

• Avoid blanket statements like "Many reviews compared...", as this poses a few issues. The first is that it's often inaccurate and not backed up by the sources - in this situation you have a sole review. You could write that the specific review outlet drew a comparison, but you can't say that more than one reviewer did this. The term "many" also implies a majority, at least when it comes to Wikipedia. When it comes to this sort of thing I usually like to write it as "Multiple media outlets compared..." or "Multiple media outlets such as (one of the outlets) compared...". You could also use the statement "Media outlets such as...".

This seems like it's splitting hairs, but essentially this shows that more than one outlet made the comparison or statement without implying that it was a very large number or majority. It's also often better to cite an example, since that can help as well.

• I would make the translations section into a general release section that lists the original publication that includes information about the translations. This is mostly because in general the translations typically won't receive enough coverage to justify its own section. It's not an absolute hard rule, but it's how I typically style such sections and it's common to see this on Wikipedia.

• Only the first word of a header should be capitalized unless it's a formal title or name.

This needs more coverage as a whole, but I'm not as focused on that since you're clearly still in the process of working on the article. If it helps you out any, I do have a generic framework for book articles that I created a bit back. Not all of the sections have to be in every article, but it has the basics. This brochure on creating and editing book articles may also be helpful. It was written with students in mind, but can be used by anyone.

Also absolutely feel free to ask me with any questions, as well as let me know when you're done with the article. I can help review the article and let you know if it needs anything or if it's ready. I think that your draft looks good as a whole, so I'm excited to see how it looks when you're all done! ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:15, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
