Reception

@HumanxAnthro: I must thank you for adding more content and reviews to the newly-revamped reception section, but I am a bit concerned over its condensed presentation. The authors' names in brackets disrupt the flow (something GA and FAC reviewers will certainly pick up on) and the mention of specific tracks in the third paragraph give it a slightly informal nature. While repetitive praise can be summarised in a sentence or two, this level of compacting takes away the rubric of reception sections in that each reviewer's opinion must be succinctly illustrated. I feel that in its current state any GA reviewer would request more to satisfy the broadness criteria. I am grateful for your additions and I am in no way discrediting you, but it leaves me in a position where I will have to rewrite parts of it and restore some content. ♦ jaguar 21:06, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the compliments. I'm pretty sure the goal of a reception section is to put in summary the entire critical response and not just detail each specific reviewer's opinion; however, I'll be happy to quote specific reviewers, though, if that is required. The only reason I use the parenthesis is out of concern for attribution to specific authors while at the same time keeping the flow going, but feel free to rewrite. 👨x🐱 (talk) 21:57, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
