GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
In general this is a really good article that I found interesting and enjoyable. There's not much to do with it. I have a couple of small points, however
First, a minor point: I wonder about the use of [sic] outside the context of a quotation. It would be very unusual in British English, but perhaps not in US English? Reading the article through, I can't help feeling it's over-referenced. Per
WP:REPCITE, you don't need the same citation cited three times in one sentence (as you do citation 5 in the final paragraph of "style and analysis"). It does make the article harder to read.
Sorry, but reviewers have insisted more than once that quotations must be followed immediately by inline cites, even if that means repeating them in the same sentence. This doesn't seem to be spelled out anywhere, but it does appear to be a common practice and expectation.

OK, I have no doubt you are right about WP consensus, though it seems pretty odd to me. I know I'd get taken to pieces if I referenced one of my academic essays like that!
