I'll take this review. Neuromancer has long been one of my favorite novels. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:32, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks π, looking forward to it — ImaginesTigers (talk) 20:44, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Infobox and lede

• Not required, but might be good to update the non-free rationale on the file page to one of the standard templates.

 Working I'm pretty bad with this sort of thing. Let me get back to you. — ImaginesTigers (talk)

• Warhola isn't mentioned in the article; I would either add his name to the prose and cite it, or remove it from the infobox.

 Working I've found Warhola mentioning making the illustration for the original cover in an interview — ImaginesTigers (talk)

• Explain the acronym ICE in its first use

 Done — ImaginesTigers (talk)

• The penultimate sentence needs rewording - was this the first novel to win all three awards?

 Working Not sure what you mean here—the sentence begins It remains the first and only novel to win. I've tweaked the grammar – let me know if that helps. — ImaginesTigers (talk)

• I don't see anything in the prose that demonstrates It remains an enduring classic; the latest date in the "impact" section is from 2005. I would either add sources indicating continued popularity, or remove/rewrite this phrase.

 Done IMO "enduring classic" was a reasonable paraphrase. While the latest in-line date is 2005, there are sources from 2020 and 2022 attesting to it as a quintessential cyberpunk novel etc. That said, I concede the point and have tweaked the text. — ImaginesTigers (talk)

Background

• Use the default thumbnail size (or the upright parameter) rather than hard-coding the image size.

 Done — ImaginesTigers (talk)

• The first sentence should be split in two. As currently written, it states that "Johnny Mnemonic" was working as a teaching assistant.

 Done This made me laugh – fixed — ImaginesTigers (talk)

• I would link "moll" to Gun moll#In fiction.

 Done — ImaginesTigers (talk)

• Link to The Long Tomorrow (comics)

 Done — ImaginesTigers (talk)
