Dylan Thomas edit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because I would eventually like to push the article forward for FAC status in time for the centenary of Thomas' death in October.

Comment: It is an excellent idea to prepare this as a featured article in time for Thomas's centenary in October (you mean of his birth, not his death). I hope to find time to review it properly; in the meantime here are a few points for consideration:

  • I think that an writer of Thomas's stature needs a complete, rather than a "selected" list of works. This I think should be in a subarticle. What I would do is transfer the present partial list to List of works by Dylan Thomas, and then build it up to a full list.

  • The present "Critical Reception" section looks very thin
Beefed up the Critical reception section. I will continue to read more into this. FruitMonkey (talk) 17:32, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Footnote content needs to be referenced as though it were text. Only one of these notes carries any citation at present.
    • Not sure how to do this with web cites, as you can't embed a normal wikicite inside a wikicite. FruitMonkey (talk) 17:32, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the references, David Thomas and Caitlin Thomas should be differentiated by initials. I could also find no citation to Caitlin's 1957 book, although it is listed as a source.

Back when I can; meantime congratulations to you and others on your excellent work to date on this article. Brianboulton (talk) 23:34, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
