Ok, this article needs major cleanup. It sounds like a third grader wrote it and its completely disorganized. I'll do some minor corrections to make it easier to read but we should all work to make this article much better. Noneforall ( talk) 16:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Marty Preston - the main character Shiloh - one of the main characters of the movie (the dog)
Judd Travers - first owner of Shiloh also mean character Doctor Murphy - doctor David Howard - Marty's best friend Mrs. Howard - other character Mr. Wallace - other character Dara Lynn Preston - one of his sisters Becky Preston - the other sister Mr. Preston/Ray Preston - Marty's father Mrs. Preston/Lowis Preston - Marty's mother
the people who wrote the book and made the movie probably want you to see what is happening in your head and hope that you enjoy there book i really think that people should read this book it is really good.
The story of how Marty finds Shiloh closely mirrors the actual event in which Phyllis Reynolds Naylor and her husband, Rex Naylor, found an abused female stray near the Middle Island Creek in the unincorporated community of Shiloh, Tyler County, West Virginia, (not to be confused with another Shiloh in Raleigh County of southern West Virginia). They were on a walk while visiting friends, Trudy and Charles "Frank" Madden, when they first noticed the shy dog. It had begun to rain hard so they headed back to the Madden house. Naylor also used the real community of Shiloh for the setting of the book and its two sequels. The church schoolhouse building has since burned down, and the old single lane, iron frame, plank bridge were due to be replaced as of 2005. Shiloh now consists of only a handful of houses. The area is very hilly, with many winding, narrow gravel roads.

Hi Cunard, it seems like you've waited long enough for a review. I haven't edited intensely for some time, but I've been lurking around GAN and noticed this article. A couple of weeks ago, I saw it at the top of the list and wondered why it had been sitting there. When I saw that Shiloh, which seems like it should pass easily, was still here today, I decided to just sit down and do it. My comments should be up by the end of they day. Thanks, Mm40 ( talk) 22:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Like I initially perceived, the article seems pretty solid. The things that might be big issues, like sourcing or completeness, seem to check out. My biggest concern is how the beginning of the body is organized.
Ruminate on these suggestions; you obviously know the article much better than I do, so if they're absurd, feel free to say so. I'll finish the review when you've addressed them. Mm40 ( talk) 22:46, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for this initial review, which has helped me improve the article's flow. I may be unable to address further comments until Monday or Tuesday, so I hope you can keep the GA review open until after then. Cunard ( talk) 00:59, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
What is the status of this review? It has been open for nearly three weeks. Is it completed, or still waiting further comments? If it is completed, place it on hold while improvements are made to the article. AstroCog ( talk) 15:06, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

I'll try and curb my natural Britishness on spelling, grammar and punctuation, but if I suggest you do something that is wrong or awkward in US English, please let me know. It'll probably be around hyphens or comma use I suspect, but while I know some of the obvious US spellings, I don't know them all! I've made a few edits of my own of the smaller pieces, but please feel free to rv if you think I've made a mess, or committed some linguistic faux pas in Americanese.
Overall this is a good, well-structured and well-built article. All the usual pitfalls seem to have been avoided and this is close to a GA standard. There are a few hoops to jump through first, I'm afraid.
*There are a few too many one / two line paragraphs – preferably try and expand, where possible, but if not, combine with other paragraphs to create something more substantial that keeps the flow of the article. This is true throughout the article.
All in all a good article overall – if you can sort this lot out I'll have no hesitation in passing. - SchroCat ( ^ • @) 20:21, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
In the light of the comments above - and because I prefer to have more than less links in the references - I'm going to pass this as a GA. Congratulations - a well written article covering all the main points, nicely balanced and well sourced. - SchroCat ( ^ • @) 10:46, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
So far I like Shiloh it is so cool but some of it is sad like the part where the bakers dog got a hold of Shiloh — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.14.96.177 ( talk) 22:39, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
