• One free image from Commons with proper license.
• One non-free image with proper rationale.
• No disambiguation links.
• No dead or suspicious external links.
• There is a category Category:Humble Bundle books. I did not understand it's purpose.
  • Tried to find a source for this, was not able to, and removed the category. I'll see if I can work in the two comments below when I get home tonight :) ~Mable (chat) 07:46, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
    • Ok.
• The article doesn't mention how many questions are covered in the book. At least an approximate number. Or "more than nn" or "around nn"... something like that. It can be counted from index if no secondary ref has put that in words.
• Munroe's other books, previous and future ones, should find one liner mentions somewhere.
  • I haven't been able to find the number of questions in any reliable sources, nor is it directly listed in the book. I would have to manually count the chapters, is that all right? Relatedly, I have some difficulty figuring out how to bring up Thing Explainer in this article, but the best way might be to expand the lead section. I'm still thinking about how to handle it. ~Mable (chat) 14:12, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
    • @Maplestrip: Its fine if you manually count and write "around nn" or something such.
• Surfing here and there I had also found something written about the book cover. Its a dinosaur being dropped in some mythical creatures' pit hole, the name of whose I can't recall now. See if you can add something about it. I will see if I can again get that reference. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 05:22, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
  • Ah yes, it is a Star Wars reference. I'll probably be able to find it, so I'll look for it :) ~Mable (chat) 19:00, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

• I made some major changes today, which you may want to check out: diff. I believe this solves all the issues named above, including mentioning the other books and describing the cover. ~Mable (chat) 19:54, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

The six good article criteria checks

New changes are good and they incorporate all my previous comments. Have done some minor copy editing edits. Also rephrased to "more than 50". You may revert it back if you wish. The article is well written and good job @Maplestrip:. It was difficult finding comments for this review. Congratulations for the new GA!! §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 04:15, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like it :) ~Mable (chat) 05:23, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Mention of What If? 2

I believe that a mention of _What If? 2_ is neccesary. Maccore Henni user talk Respond using tb, please. 01:11, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
