Comments

• Please fill in the "n.a."s in the File:Flamer (2020 graphic novel) cover.jpg fair use justification. Not applicable is not a reasonable justification for any field.

•  Done

• "The novel is set in" It is set.

•  Done

• "a Boy Scouts summer camp" do we know where?

• I couldn't find an exact location in any reliable source.

• Link closeted.

•  Done

• "the last week of Aiden Navarro," like literally he's going to die? The plot ends with "suicide ideation" so I'm not clear.

• Haha, reading that sentence again, you are very much correct that it gives that impression. Rewrote it to be clearer Aiden goes back home.

• " Boy Scouts summer" link here too.

•  Done

• "public high school" link.

•  Done

• ""Navarro is also excited, since he has always been a good scout." not sure I understand the link between that and going to a public high school.

• I've rewrote the two sentences to make it clearer he was excited about going to camp, but nervous about high school.

• One sentence of the whole plot is referenced, why?

• I usually reference sentences which could be challenged, usually for being interpretations of the text, which I felt was the case here. If you feel it's unnecessary, I can remove it.

• "sharing about more intimate " about not necessary.

•  Done

• " the toxic masculinity and homophobia present in the Boy Scouts and Catholic organizations" this sounds like someone's opinion rather than encyclopedic fact.

• I've rewrote so it doesn't attribute the characteristics to the institutions, since only one source says that.

• "had a Catholic upbringing" leaving it late in the article to link Catholic.

• Moved the wikilink to the plot section.

• "bullying suffered by Aiden at home" is this his Catholic upbringing, because the plot doesn't mention any bullying at home.

• I've removed the mention of his home

• "and Kampung Boy" that's called The Kampung Boy.

•  Done

• "such as queen" no need for italics.

•  Done

• "in Horn Book Magazine's" it was The Horn Book Magazine before.

•  Done

• Don't force the references into one column.

• The reflist was probably defaulting to one column due to bad wikicode from my part. Should be fixed now.

• Pick a date format and stick with it, consistently.

• I've changed the date of the first source, which used day-month-year, to month-day-year. All the dates should be formatted correctly, as far as I can tell.

That's all I have. The Rambling Man ( Keep wearing the mask...) 18:17, 3 September 2021 (UTC) reply
