Evan Lorne?

Since this character now has an established first name, shouldn't this article be moved to Evan Lorne?

Greetings! I've previously reviewed Jeffrey Spender and as there is a rather large backlog under Film and Television I thought I'd help out and review some more.

Pass or Fail:

Lead/infobox

"introduced as a recurring character in the season seven episode "Enemy Mine", " season seven of what? SG-1 or Atlantis? Done

"Throughout the series, it has been speculated by fans that he is second-in-command of Atlantis." typically the lead doesn't need CITEs if the claim is supported by information in the article proper, however this has no supporting claim, so either needs a CITE here, or expanded (and CITEd) in the rest of the article. Done

Character arc

"but the origins of his having the ATA gene are unknown." could do with a rewrite. Done

"that the Replicators take the form of," Done

Conceptual History

DoneI've added {{fact}} tags to all claims needing a CITE, other than that no major problems.

The whole section is cited?

Now it's correctly cited. I don't make the rules, but we should both be expected to follow them.

Reception

Done The first and second sentences need CITEs, particularly the direct quotes.

Done "Many critics have noted Smith's strong fanbase." And these critics can be CITEd?

Done "They've been known for following his work from Battlestar Galactica to The 4400 and Stargate Atlantis." Boy is this a bad sentence... it reads like WP:POV and WP:FANCRUFT and has no CITE stating who "They" are, or that "they" have been following them for all the three series mentioned. This is going to be quite difficult to CITE so removing it is fine.

References

Done As stated here it needs to be better clarified who was doing what.

Done Can CITE 9 be templated using {{cite news}}?

and can we add an ISSN? That i can't.. i have lost the magazine No problems.

Done can CITE 10 be link to the direct post?
