Can't find sources for...[edit]

It would be nice to find sources for the extensive changes that were made between the series and the final book.

It would also be nice to find a source about the "Why Louis Riel's Parents Got Married" strip in the back of Louis Riel issue #9, especially as to why it wasn't included in the final book. CüRlyTüRkey^Talk_Contribs 09:44, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments/Questions

In "Background", "in the end decided to "wing it"." - this appears to be an uncited quote. Quotes are typically used when it is important to capture the authors exact words (like explaining someone's opinion) but I don't see why a quote is useful here.

"wing it" were the words Brown used in the Two Handed Man interview, and since it was kind of slangy, I thought it would be best to put it in quotes. Looking at it now, I think it would be better to change it to "improvise" anyways. CüRlyTüRkey^Talk_Contribs 21:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not part of the GA criteria but I will ask it here anyways. Is the "Works cited" section supposed to be alphabetical by author's last name? It appears that way except for 4 entries.

That would be an embarrassing oversight on my part. CüRlyTüRkey^Talk_Contribs 21:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why spell role as "rôle"?

It's the obnoxious way I happen to spell it in real life. Technically, it's an "accepted" way to write it in English. If anyone were to change it, I wouldn't lift a finger to stop it, though. CüRlyTüRkey^Talk_Contribs 21:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears Brown was nominated for Best Cartoonist (Harvy Awards) in 2003 + 2004? [1] [2]

I don't know how I missed those. Thanks for pointing them out. CüRlyTüRkey^Talk_Contribs 21:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusion

This is an excellent article. I have passed it as a Good Article and I would support it as Featured Article if nominated.
