**Right, thanks for that Sceptre; I've made some of the corrections-improvements that you suggested. However, I have not altered the referencing system in its entirety (although made a few alterations); I see no reason why that really needs changing, as it is still fairly simple and self-explanatory for readers in my opinion. I have also failed to add information on how Herge progressed in his researched post-''Cigars''; this is a topic that should obviously be dealt with in articles on Herge himself and his later works, but I am unsure whether it is of particular relevence here.

***Hi. How you reference is fine as long as you're consistent, and while strange, your style is definitely allowed. Re, Hergé's attitude to research post-''Cigars'': I brought it up because I'm aware that [[Zhang Chongren]] didn't want China to be portrayed in the stereotypical way the Americans, Congolese, and Soviets were: did Zhang ever comment on ''Soviets'' or was it a general comment about stereotypes in the first three adventures? It's not a deal breaker, and I'd be happy to '''support''' this article at the moment; I'm just curious and it'd be interesting to give a sentence or two to if such a thing happened.

I am nominating this for featured article because it has achieved GA status, and although it has been rejected from FA status in the past, the comments provided at that point have been worked upon, bringing the article up to a better quality standard.

Source review - spotchecks not done. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:25, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- Don't include leading zeroes for single-digit page numbers
- Ranges should use endashes, even in titles. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:25, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- I have removed the two instances of zeroes, and retitled the section using an endash from "Re-publication" to "Later publications". (Midnightblueowl (talk) 14:33, 8 October 2011 (UTC))
Copyscape check - No issues were revealed by Copyscape searches. Graham Colm (talk) 18:02, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
Media Review Ahh, Tintin. Racism, plagiarism, gross cultural and social misrepresentation, all the things you want to expose your children to at a young age to help them develop into well adjusted human beings. That aside, the images are fine. I resized one, but for once, I didn't have to fix a T:I or FUR. Good show. Sven Manguard Wha? 12:24, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Comments: Ah, Tintin. It's obligatory that I should review this. Incidentally, do we have an FA for the release of the Spielberg/Jackson/Moffat movie up?
- The prose checks out, and I'll make a few little edits to the prose to make it read better.
- "It is one of only three Adventures of Tintin...": I assume the other two are Congo and Alph-Art, given that I have the boxset for the 1991–2 series which adapted all of the traditional 21, but a lay reader won't know that (or even know of the existence of Alph-Art).
- There are redlinks in the Background section, including one deleted image, which should be removed or replaced.
- The history section as a whole does a good job of talking about Catholic antisocialist sentiment in the 1920s and 1930s, which is, of course, important to the writing of this comic. One thing I think that should be included, if it exists in analysis, is the contrast between Land of the Soviets and Congo, which were effectively nationalist propaganda pieces, and anything from The Blue Lotus, which had a reputation for being extremely well-researched.
- I can see nothing particularly wrong with the "later publications" section.
- (Added 23:04, 22 October 2011 (UTC):) Your method of referencing is strange; have you considered using {{harvnb}} instead of plaintext in the refs? I'm not sure if there's a precedent for doing names in smallcaps either (especially when the parameter "last", I believe, has COinS issues.) Sceptre (talk) 23:04, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
- I'll leave it to you to do any improvements you see fit, and I'll check in a couple of days and decide whether to give it support or not. Sceptre (talk) 22:43, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
