# Talk:Snakes and Earrings

As requested as part of the current Women in Green editathon, I've had a look through this article with an eye towards GA nomination, and honestly I think it's ready to be nominated.  A few points to think about:

It seems strange to have the third section in the article be the one which discusses the background to the novel; I would be inclined to put that first
All of the academic analysis discussed is English-language and written by westerners. Obviously this is English wikipedia and that is to be expected, but I wonder whether there's any Japanese-language scholarship on the book? I don't think this is strictly necessary at GA-level, but if you were ever to nominate for Featured Article this would certainly be asked!
The citations to Welsh and Driscoll have parenthetical page numbers, but those to Holloway's two articles and to DiNitto don't: any reason for this?  Generally I would include page numbers for all of these longer articles.
None of this is an impediment to GA status, though, and I would expect that a review would go fairly smoothly. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 08:35, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Caeciliusinhorto, thanks so much for taking the time to look this article over. The feedback is really helpful. I'll make a few changes based on your comments (section order, +Japanese analysis, page numbers for long articles throughout) and then start the GA nomination.
