GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


Should be the last review you need for that GT, so let's get working.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    Nothing wrong here. I made a few fixes but the standard is grand. There's maybe a little too much quote manipulation going on, where you could maybe just paraphrase the intent of the quote without having to run it through hurdles with brackets and such.
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
    Episode synopses are a bit on the long side. 4-5 lines is usually the standard. I've trimmed some of them a bit, but since I'm not really sure what is and isn't important it's been quite difficult. Feel free to revert if I've excised too much, though some of the later episodes do have very unwieldy summaries which need tightened.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
    Everything's sourced and cited well.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
    Scope is grand, not too much or too little.
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    Article is neutral.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
    Article is stable.
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    Two commons and a fair-use image. The DVD cover could maybe explain that it has been used as representative of the full season as no other singular image would achieve the same effect.

  1. B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
    Images are used well and captioning is grand.
  2. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    I can pretty much see that this is heading to FA territory, so I'm going to keep it on hold to make sure those plot summaries are sorted out before I pass it here, which will give you less to worry about after this process. Everything else about the article is grand, so if that's tightened up this will pass with flying colours.
Thanks very much for the review! I've tried to trim down some of the longest plot summaries, but am having a difficult time going further. Some of the episodes are just too complicated to explain well in a shorter summary. How do they look now? Ruby2010 comment! 01:04, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's the impression I was getting, which is why I found it hard to figure out what was important. I think 6 or 7 lines is forgiveable but is there anything in "Over There" (both parts" that could be cut? If anything's more of a minor plot thread or the like. I've had another bash at it myself. Some of it's really just about economy of words, but anything else I'm lost with. Is Bell's sacrifice made to be a big plot point? If not that sentence could probably come out. If it's not feasible to squeeze them some more then I'll just pass it straight. GRAPPLE X 01:48, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Did a little more trimming. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 02:55, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Looks a lot better now than it did. I'm going to go ahead and pass this. Well done, and congrats on getting the whole season promoted. Good luck with the GT! GRAPPLE X 03:08, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
