Vision in White

Nominator(s): Karanacs (talk) 16:10, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article has something to interest both women and men, those who settle in with a good book to relax and those who'd rather boot up their computer and play a video game, introverts and, well, introverts. Vision in White is a romance novel written by bestselling author Nora Roberts. The book was later turned into a video game, which is really odd for a romance novel. WP's coverage of romance novels is pitiful, and the newly launched

is attempting to fill those gaps. This article is only the third romance-novel related FA nomination ever (the others being articles I wrote five+ years ago).

Although it is at its core a love story, don't worry, I sprayed for cooties before I hit save. Karanacs (talk) 16:10, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: hello Karanacs, I remember you from a long time ago. I've only read the

  • Hey Ling, nice to see you (although I was a bit confused by the name change at first)! That's a great point, thank you. I rewrote the lead, and I think it makes a bit more sense now. Karanacs (talk) 14:15, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose per standard disclaimer. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. These are my edits. It's really nice to see a new wikiproject interested in FAC, especially one of particular interest to women. This would make a great TFA. - Dank (push to talk) 22:45, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, your changes were an improvement :) Karanacs (talk) 22:52, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty good. A couple of comments:

• "On average, she completes a book every 45 days." – If this refers to 1979 through 2008 from the previous sentence, it should be completed; otherwise, it should be specified as being as of the date from the source
• "...and celebrate the women's success at niche marketing." – Maybe its just me, but when I first read this, my initial reaction was 'which women?'. Is there another way of wording this so it more explicitly refers to the fictional characters?

Thank you, I addressed both of these. Karanacs (talk) 14:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Source review (spot checks not done)

• The use of title case or sentence case should be consistent for at least the same type of source (if not the whole article)
• ISBN for Prioleau (2013) doesn't seem to go anywhere, can you check for typos?
• Sources appear to be reliable in the context of what they support, no obvious reliability issues
• I did some copy editing of refs here [2] to fix minor issues.

• • The ISBN is for the ebook version of Prioleau's work. I double-checked the number, and if I google it, it brings me to a copy of the book. I don't know why it isn't showing up in the BookSources search.
  • I think I fixed all the case issues with the newspaper sources. I left the book titles as they were published. Karanacs (talk) 14:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks, issues resolved - Evad37 [talk] 18:23, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Image review: FUR for lead image should be expanded, and the "n.a." parameters filled in. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:06, 14 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nikkimaria, thanks for the feedback, images are not my specialty. I hope that this [3] is better. Karanacs (talk) 14:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Better but for one issue - is Roberts herself the copyright holder of the book cover? Typically that would be either the publisher or the designer/photographer. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:04, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I changed it to "Illustrator unknown; published by Berkley" Karanacs (talk) 15:31, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support on prose. Spot check of online sources show they back up claims. Ceoil (talk) 11:45, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
