A Christmas Carol edit

Previous peer review

A Christmas Carol is an annual favourite for many people, either as the source novel, or through one of the many film and television adaptations. The background to the novella is nearly (but not quite) as interesting as the story itself. I hope to take this on to either GA or FA after review, and I look forward to hearing the comments of others as to how this could be improved toward that goal.

Really nice article. I'm pretty sure it will become a GA but there are some things that might mention reviewers:
  • Shouldn't the characters be written under bullet points like

"*Scrooge" "*Ghost"

  • I don't think that's the right form for novels. I know it's used in all film articles (for listing the actors that playthe parts, but not for characters in a novel. - The Bounder (talk) 15:11, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also the plot section doesn't look that long so I suggest to remove the staves.
In reception I would avoid using too many quotes and instead paraprhasing it. I'm speaking from my previous past experiences with reception sections.
Additionally, in the section, look for similarities and/or contrasts between reviews to make a small point.

Other than that, the article looks really good. Also, I would appreciate if you could take a look at my own peer review. Regards.Tintor2 (talk) 14:37, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
