Payment to Burroughs

edit

Ashley's Gernsback Days says Burroughs accepted $1266 in trade acceptances (p. 129) but Bleiler says he insisted on cash and took 7% interest on top. Need to resolve this, possibly by reference to Porges' bio of ERB, before this goes to GAN. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:52, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Porges confirms the version in Ashley. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

GA review
(see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar):  
    b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):  
    b (citations to reliable sources):  
    c (OR):  
    d (copyvio and plagiarism):  
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):  
    b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    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):  

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

  • Copyvio check - Earwing's Copyvio Detector produces a 0% result, so no issue with online sources.
  • Image - public domain, and appropriately use. Positioning and caption are fine. I'm not familiar with the story depicted, so I'm happy to AGF on the ALT text "A man and an alien examine a sleeping woman with red skin", but looks to me like there is a possibility that the woman with red skin is actually unconscious.
    What! You haven't read this literary classic! Well, it was a good catch actually; she's about to be operated on, so she's unconscious. I changed the alt text. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 00:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
  • Spot checks on del Rey (1979); Tuck (1982); Westfahl (2021) - no issues.

Thanks for your work on the article, Mike Christie, and many thanks also for your efforts in reviewing older GA nominations. I'm happy to discuss, or be challenged on, any of the few points above. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:40, 5 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the review, and I appreciate the thanks for my reviewing. Not sure how long my current energy level will last, but I'm still enjoying doing them so I hope to keep going a bit longer. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 00:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm satisfied that the article meets the GA criteria, so am passing this. Thanks and regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 08:49, 5 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
