I saw this article and thought that it looked very interesting; it was only then that I noticed that the nominator was User:J Milburn. There could arguably be some minor conflict of interest as Josh has recently passed three GA nominations of my own but I nevertheless believe that I can undertake a fair, unbiased review of this one, if Josh agrees that I am an acceptable candidate for the job ?

More than happy- I know you've written high-quality articles on recent academic books, so I am sure you would be in a good position to fairly judge this one. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:05, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

doi:10.1163/15685306-12341412. Eva Meijer writes that Cochrane "shows that there is an underexplored territory between" established welfarist and abolitionist camps, but "is less convincing in its criticism of existing animal rights theories and in defending the claim that nonhuman animals have no interest in liberation." She has formal objections to his conception of rights, and more empirically objects to his "narrow view of animal agency" and of "political human-animal relationships in which the animals are indeed not autonomous nor have a chance of changing this."
I could read it more carefully and take a shot at integrating it, but I suspect others around here are more qualified. FourViolas (talk) 15:38, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Brilliant! I'll making integrating this a priority. I have a half-eye on FAC; maybe a few hours' work could push the article to where it needs to be. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:12, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
I've also added a review from Radical Philosophy Review. Between the Species and the Marx and Philosophy Review of Books also have reviews. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:01, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
