Review section

I am nominating this featured article for review because...This old article isn't written properly. Some of the citations are poorly formatted, for example. the lack of authors and etc. + There are several unsourced statements and too many quote tables + It needs some updates for books and video game appearances + the books, in-other media (should be converted into prose written style, not lists), comics, and especially the video game sections are a mess + Thematic analysis and reception could be expanded. Overall, it needs some love to meet its current FA standard. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 06:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

From a cursory read, the quote tables do certainly seem a bit odd. They don't provide much context for the work for someone not familiar, and they don't (at first glance) support the content in the text in an obvious way... added captions to put the quotes in context might help. Some parts ("It has been a matter of disagreement regarding the treatment of minorities in the books.") seem like they would fit better in a criticism or reception section.

FARC section

Issues raised in the review section include sourcing and organization. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:49, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delist. Tagged for needing prose work since June. Unsourced statements including "it is unknown", "for unknown reasons", "lifelong fan" and "successful". Miscellaneous other media and video games sections are lists of selected works instead of summarizing the cultural impact and are either unsourced or rely on primary sources.

  • Delist: No edits since November, uncited statements and disorganization remain. Z1720 (talk) 02:24, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
