• ... that writer Jilly Cooper named a goat in her 2010 novel Jump! after a critic who revealed spoilers about an earlier work?

  • ALT1: ... that a goat called Chisholm was named after a critic of Jilly Cooper in her 2010 novel Jump!? Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20231202071105/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/booknews/8053718/Jilly-Cooper-takes-revenge-on-critic-by-naming-goat-after-her.html

  • Comment: 1) The specific QPQ is from the mutli-article nomination and is or Cóic Conara Fugill

2) I'm not sure whether naming the critic in the hook is OK as I think they are still alive (thinking of BLP guidelines)

• I'll review this either today or tomorrow. On the name of the critic, it's fine to include in the article but I'd go for the first hook to avoid turning the spotlight on someone who may not satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria (I haven't checked, but seems like a good principle to me).

Overall: All checks out. No issues with verifiability or copyright from the spot checks. I have a couple of small comments that don't need to be resolved but might enhance the article:

• As it is the ninth book in the series, are there any recurring characters? Rupert Campbell-Black for instance.
• Is the Laing review for the Guardian the same Guardian (Observer) review that is mentioned indirectly via Jarvis?
• Purely a matter of preference for different styles, but instead of "Cooper spoke out about the difficulty she had in writing [some of the sex scenes]" could "Cooper later reflected on the difficulty..." be a suitable alternative? Richard Nevell (talk) 22:45, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
