Cirt, first and foremost, I'd like to thank you for your continued efforts in covering censorship topics. Following a more thorough review, this article meets all the criteria for Good Article status. However, I had a few brief comments and suggestions that should be addressed before passing this article to Good Article status. I hope that you don't see my brief comments as an indicator of a quickie review--I honestly had no other comments or suggestions as the article is of superior quality. My brevity indicates that you're good at what you do. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with the below comments and suggestions. Thanks again for all your hard work on this article! -- Caponer (talk) 00:58, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• In the second paragraph of the lead, would you be open to utilizing an Oxford comma after "(RIAA)" and "Mapplethorpe"? This is merely a suggestion, and certainly not a deal breaker. There is an Oxford comma after "hip hop music," so for consistency's sake, it would be good to use the Oxford comma for all listings of multiple subjects throughout the article.
• In the first paragraph of the Content summary section, it may help the reader to understand Comstock's government position as a United States Postal Inspection Service inspector. Rather than just "put forth," perhaps describe how Comstock put forth laws and influenced the United States Congress to pass these laws.
• Since the Holt source is the sole source of the second and third paragraphs, you may need only to utilize the internal citation at the end of each paragraph.

These seem pretty straightforward. Will go through them and note back here when done. — Cirt (talk) 02:19, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1. Done. Added comma where recommended by GA Reviewer, above.
2. Done. Added suggested material to help explain further in this sentence, as recommended.
3. Done. Trimmed citations to ends of those particular paragraphs.

Thank you, Caponer, the article is better for these helpful recommendations, — Cirt (talk) 22:09, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
