General

• Referencing to itself is not necessary. At least put the page numbers.

• RemovedGreg Heffley 19:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Lead

• Diary of a Wimpy Kid should be in quotation marks, not italics

 Fixed

• "The books focuses on Greg's life as he enters middle school and faces many hardships with his family." that sentence is completely redundant to the previous one

 Fixed

• "The sequel to the book isRodrick Rules." There needs to be a space.

 Fixed

• 2nd paragraph, name should not be in italics, but in quotation.

 Fixed

• "Diary of a Wimpy Kid first appeared on FunBrain.com in 2004. The online book was read 20 million times." You could merge the two sentences.

 Done

• "The sequel to the film is Rodrick Rules" there should be a point.

 Done

Plot

• Could you merge some paragraphs

 Done

•  Done Saw that in history.
• "Not all goes to plan though and when they get home and Greg's dad, who was hassled by kids, throws water at them and the water soaks their candy.The Wizard of Oz play[5] is also a hardship for Greg, Patty Farell, who plays Dorothy, is coming on stage, and since Greg is a Tree, he thinks he can throw apples at her, but the director takes it out for health and safety." After 1st sentence, We need a space.

 Done
