Almost there. Some copy tweaks and also some suggestions in re: sourcing. Templates like {{pq}} can come in really handy for heavy ProQuest users. 7-day hold to GamerPro64. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:08, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- @GamerPro64 I caught one other issue in fixing all the newspaper clippings. The Steve Hall review was not from the Indianapolis Star but its sister daily, the Indianapolis News. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 05:36, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Copy changes
[edit]- Hyphenate "most-watched"
- Add a comma after "joins the hospital" (User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences)
- Some of the sentences in the Production section are of very similar length back to back, leading to choppy reading
- Reworked some parts of the section around. GamerPro64 04:47, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'd use "lead to" rather than "lead into"
- the writing, calling the script "hackneyed" and Complete the appositive by adding a comma outside the quotation after "hackneyed"
- Steve Hall for The Indianapolis Star, while finding a few moments to be "undeniably powerful", he felt that the documentary crew plot device cheapened moments such as Dr. Morganstern suffering a heart attack. The "he" is not needed
- October 6th, 1997 Date formatting and an MOS:DATECOMMA; change to "October 6, 1997,"
Sourcing and spot checks
[edit]Earwig turns up no issues (top number is a content mill mirroring us).
- 5 (OC Register → New York Daily News): "More exciting than daunting" quote is included.
- 6 (USA Today):
Producers shot a version of the episode Wednesday as a fallback, in case of technical difficulties tonight, but the live show is expected to go smoothly.
- 8: Viewership figure in LAT national Nielsen ratings feature is correct.
- 15: Gold Derby list ranks the episode 12th.
- 17: List of Emmy nominations.
Images
[edit]This page has no images. I see one tangential one was culled during peer review.
Encouragements
[edit]Not required for GA specifications, but good best practices.
- Clip newspapers.com citations and use that as the URL. Some multipage articles require multiple clippings.
- Use ProQuest document IDs. You do this by adding to the
|id=
parameter of the relevant citation the document number corresponding to each resource, which is in the URL, wrapped in {{ProQuest}} or its shortcut {{pq}}. For instance, the USA Today reference has an ID of 408734998, so you would put {{ProQuest|408734998}}.- To make it easier, here are the other two.
- Orange County Register: 273015476. This is actually a reprint from the New York Daily News the day before.[1]
- Boston Globe: 403882861
