replies: text: Two very important things: shorten your plot summary and format your references. If you don't know how, I'll be happy to help you. There are other small things, but fix those first. PrincessofLlyr royal court 12:50, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

text: *I agree with PrincessofLlyr. Also, per 1(b) "it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections" - currently the lead needs to be expanded to "summarize the body of the article". maclean (talk) 15:58, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: *So your suggestions are: Shorter summary as in 600-700 words (its about 1400 at the moment)? And an actual introduction. However I am unsure as to which referencing style Wikipedia uses and to what extent. Thanks for your help --Limolover (talk) 06:18, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: *I'll format a few of the refs as an example. For a good idea of how referencing on Wikipedia works, read WP:INCITE. That will give you some good directions. PrincessofLlyr royal court 14:23, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

text: *I completed the first three on the first section. I'll do some more later. A few of the links were dead, so I found the originals and used those. PrincessofLlyr royal court 14:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

text: *Thanks for your help with the referencing. Is it fine now? Not sure if a cached page is ok for the Darwin play (no longer online), but it was earlier. --Limolover (talk) 10:20, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: *Much better. You did a really good job of formatting all of those. I think the references for the play work fine. Just work through Tea with Toast's suggestions and I think the article may very soon be ready for GA. PrincessofLlyr royal court 12:52, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: *Many thanks. I believed I have now worked through all of the suggested changes. --Limolover (talk) 12:58, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: *Yes, it does look like you've gotten through most of it. If you would like, I could do a complete analysis of the article for any nit-picky details sometime in the next week. I would also suggest asking review from some good copyeditors for other details that I might miss. User:Brambleclawx has worked on several GA's, as has User:Truthkeeper88. Input from either of them, or anyone in the guild of copyeditors, would probably be helpful. PrincessofLlyr royal court 18:08, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: *That would be great thanks. I have put a general request in at the guild of copyeditors. --Limolover talk 10:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
