• "Convinced Siam must be destroyed, Cyan confronts her and learns she was once a Free Collar until her brother, Puriam, was chased onto a road by humans and killed by a bus." - Consider adding a "that" after "Convinced".
  • Done.
• Are all characters described in the first paragraph of the characters section members of the Free Collars? Please clarify.
  • I've added a sentence describing the Free Collars, which implies that the entire paragraph is about them (with the exception of Scottie, who is noted as not being one). A bit has also been added to the sentence, to make sure the reader knows that those characters are on the opposing side.
• In "drawn as hot anthrophorphic cat-girls and cat-boys", I guess "anthrophorphic" is supposed to be "anthropomorphic". If the word is misspelled in the source, please mark it with {{sic}}.
  • I don't know; that review wasn't added by me. I don't have the book, so I'll ask AnmaFinotera if it was a spelling mistake or a typo in the book.
• "and praises it for having a unique twist" - This is rather vague. If the source uses the words "unique twist", consider placing them in quotation marks.
  • Again, I don't have the book. I'll also bring this up.
    • That was purely my typo. I've fixed that and added the missing quotes for "unique twist". -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 00:39, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
• Polley, Dan. "Free Collars Kingdom v2". Manga Life. Retrieved 2009-01-18. - This reference is missing a publisher. Also, what makes it a reliable source?
  • Fixed the publisher bit. The site is an "offshoot" of Silver Bullet Comics, and has a team of reviewers. People who work with the site include columnist writers, editors, writers, professional comics writers, and others; this is explained here. Also, they have an article in the "featured" section written by Alethea and Athena Nibley, who have translated such works as Saiyuki and Fruits Basket among others.

    • Are you saying that Manga Life is reliable because it's an offshot of Silver Bullet Comics? If so, what makes Silver Bullet Comics a reliable source? Nothing else you said makes Manga Life reliable. If you are unsure how to respond to this comment, this signpost provides advice. Goodraise 01:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
      • It has a limited set of contributers, most of whom are experts in the field of comics and manga and it has been used as quotes/sources by other publications, including Publisher's Weekly. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 02:24, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
        • AnmaFinotera's assurance that the website is quoted/sourced "by other publications, including Publisher's Weekly" as well as the cited statements at Comics Bulletin#Awards and Comics Bulletin#Acknowledgements have convinced me that Comics Bulletin and Manga Life (as its "offshot") are reliable for statements of opinion.

WP:GAN suggests "giving an overview of how you believe [the article] fulfills the Good article criteria". In this case I don't know how to do that. There are no close calls. I checked the article for all of the criteria and it solidly meets them; hence I'm promoting it to GA-status. Goodraise 07:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
