This was very long in the queue. Time to review it.--Kürbis (✔) 20:30, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   " and Lena Henderson a local Geordie girl" - and Lena..., a local ...

   "Theology" -> theology

   In the lead it says he lost his faith, but it is not mentioned in the subsequent sections.

   "and reviewing the novel in The New York Times, Anthony Boucher wrote, "Mr. Gardner succeeds in having it both ways: " Split from the sentence and start with, eg, "Upon reviewing the novel...."

   That's all

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

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):

7. Overall: Hold--Kürbis (✔) 09:46, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

• Note I reverted this edit, as it introduced a strange error in the left sidebar. Hope you don't mind. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 20:35, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

• I reinserted this reference and now it is ok. Not sure what caused this error... Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 20:38, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

• Hi GOP, the three tweaks are done, as is the 'loss of faith' information, including a supporting citation. Many thanks for your time and your thoughts on this: it's much appreciated! Please let me know if there is anything else you'd like me to do. Cheers - SchroCat (^ • @) 11:54, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks for your changes. I will pass this article. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 13:36, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

• Cheers GOP/Kürbis: your efforts are hugely appreciated and I'm very glad that your retirement was only temporary—the project desperately needs to keep people like you on board! - SchroCat (^ • @) 16:25, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
