• You'll need to note that this is part of the first season of the series.

• Done. Miyagawa (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• The lead should be expanded a little to include more background information about the episode. I like the way people are writing up the articles on The Office with a note about where its broadcast, some brief background on the show, the subplots, and a little more detail about critic responses.

• Modified in a similar way to Hide and Q. Miyagawa (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• I don't know that the information about the Armus suit belongs in the lead. Also, it should be rearranged, I think, because Yar's death, and the critic's reaction to the episode were the most substantial developments for the series.

• I removed the Armus suit information from the lead, and rearranged the order of the paragraphs in Production. Miyagawa (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• Plot section: you alternate between refering to Armus as "him" and "it."

• It should all now be "it"s. Miyagawa (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• It might be helpful to split the production section into several sub-sections, one dealing with the monster effects and the other dealing with Denise Crosby's departure.

• Done. Miyagawa (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• In "Reception," there's no information about the market share or viewership of the episode when it first aired.

• As per the note in Hide and Q, Next Gen was broadcast directly into syndication and so viewer numbers are not known. Miyagawa (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• You mention the guest actors in the infobox, but their roles there are not cited. Would be best if you added the roles next to the names in the "Production" section.

• Done. Miyagawa (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• Given that Star Trek is the origin of the term, I'm surprised that there's no link to the Redshirt (character) article, and whether Crosby's character is or is not a redshirt in the episode.

• I think that she was used in a similar manner to a redshirt, however I can't find any sources that also suggest that, and so I'm not sure if I'd breach independent research guidelines by suggesting it. Miyagawa (talk) 18:10, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

• Dup links tool shows no problem with duplicate links. Dab links shows no disambiguations. Checklink tool returns no errors with external links.

I am placing the article on hold pending the above comments. —Ed!^(talk) 05:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Great work. Passing the GA now. —Ed!^(talk) 00:03, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
