  • I'd wikilink Iraq War in the lead
  • "The Libby character played a minor role" - this character hasn't been introduced yet, I'd give her a title. I.e 'The junkyard owner Libby', or whatever she is
  • I'd change MOTOR GIRL to Motor Girl in all your Comic Book Roundup references as per MOS:ALLCAPS
  • Inconsistent dating formatting in the references, I.e 'Retrieved November 28, 2016' and 'Retrieved 2017-09-18'
  • How come your The Comics Chronicles references feature the "|website=" parameter but all your other sources do not? Personally I don't think that parameter adds anything of value to a reference but just make it consistent either way
  • One reference describes it as "Abstract Studios" and another calls it "Abstract Studio Comics". Be consistent.
  • In one reference Abstract Studios is in italics and in another it is not. Looking at your references some of them are formatted manually (I.e Moore, Terry (November 11, 2017), "[htt ...) and others use Templates like Template:Cite web. Using this mix and match of reference formatting is going to cause more formatting inconsistencies. I'd pick one format and stick with it.
  • "Per a note from the author in Motor Girl #4" - not a fail point but a page number would be good here

Interesting little article. Placing on hold until issues are addressed. Freikorp (talk) 00:26, 27 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the review! About half of this article was written by a banned user, and we prefer different citation styles. That's the root cause of the inconsistency.
I'll get started on these today, but some (like the page number) might take me a day or two to dig up. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:27, 27 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
No worries, that's understandable. Oh and don't let searching for the page number hold you up, I'll be happy to pass this with just the other issues addressed and you can add that later in your own time if you like. :) Freikorp (talk) 13:45, 27 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Freikorp: - All the citations are now in templates, so that should fix the consistency issues. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:20, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Looks much better. Happy to pass now. :) Freikorp (talk) 14:29, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
