Hi, I am reviewing this article. I think it is very well done and have only a few questions:

• "Edward behaves in a childish manner about his short height; he tends to humorously overreact to any comment about it (and often misinterprets the words) in a fit of rage" - he is "humorous" and "in a fit of rage" at the same time? Or how does that work?
  • Removed humorous. It works like a comic relief in the series.Tintor2 (talk) 19:14, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
• "Despite his occasional bouts of immaturity, he is a selfless, strong, independent and mature young adult that gains a reputation as a "hero of the people"." - How can he be immature and mature at the same time? I assume that he shifts between seeming immature and mature.

• "Edward's childhood friend, Winry Rockbell, designed Edward's automail limbs alongside her grandmother Pinako." What does "alongside her grandmother" mean?
  • Fixed.Tintor2 (talk) 19:14, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
• "allows Edward to float between the comical moments and the underlying drama without seeming false." - This is word for word from the source. The wording should be changed, or it should be put in quotes.

I will put the article on hold while you address these issues. Thanks, Xtzou (Talk) 19:03, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
