Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"The episode is one of those which helped to explore the series' overarching mythology." I feel this is kind of a clunky why to write this, maybe say "The episode helps to explore and expand the series' overarching mythology."

LEAD, no summary or mention of production

Infobox, maybe cite where you found all the guests stars at the very bottom, maybe after "Tegan Moss as Young Dana Scully" Is there a way to put a cite after the words "Guest stars"?
There isn't, I don't think, without constructing the whole infobox as a coded table. I've added a reference to the last listed name. GRAPPLE X 20:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson are in parenthesis and wiki-linked in both the intro and plot section, probably a little redundant
Wikilinks and info in both are meant to be redundant, but I've checked the article to make sure these are the only links to them. GRAPPLE X 20:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"At Scully's bedside Mulder meets her older sister..." I would add a comma after "At Scully's bedside..."

"Frohike visits Scully and sneaks out a chart on her that the Lone Gunmen investigate" Probably should be "Frohike visits Scully and sneaks out her medical chart, which the Lone Gunmen later investigate."

"Chris Carter described the opening scene, where Scully discovers about death and the related sadness and sorrow" should be reworded to something like "Chris Carter described the opening scene, in which Scully discovers the truth about death, sadness, and sorrow..."

According to my copy of The Truth is Out There: The Official Guide to the X-Files, the episode received 9.1 million household views, not just 9

"Chris Carter in 1996 declared this one of the series most popular episodes thus far." would sound better as "In 1996, Chris Carter declared "One Breath" to be one of the series' most popular episodes."

Episodes in quotations should be marked with single apostrophes ('...') instead of parenthesis ("...")
Going to double check the print sources to make sure I've got the quotations right before I change these but you might be right. GRAPPLE X 20:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I feel the last paragraph of the "Reception" section is a little run-ony. Many clean it up a bit and try to break the long phrases up.
Broken it down into smaller sentences. GRAPPLE X 20:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Some of the references don't have spaces in between the last name and the "p." I'd prefer if they all had spaces
I assumed you meant between "p." and the number, as all the refs had a space between the author and the "p.", but I've spaced the numbers. GRAPPLE X 20:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Thorough coverage, no sign of trivia
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Neural POV
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
No edit warring
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
One picture, properly tagged. Are there any other free pictures to spice up the production section, it's kind of boring right now?
I'll have a look about now for what I can find. GRAPPLE X 20:29, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Added one of Anderson pregnant at the I Want to Believe première, it seemed fitting. GRAPPLE X 20:33, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed.--Gen. Quon (talk) 17:37, 23 January 2012 (UTC)--Gen. Quon (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you've fixed everything! I pass this!--Gen. Quon (talk) 20:25, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
