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

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

General points

• All images look good, either free or fair use.
• Length and scope are good.
• No obvious NPOV or edit warring.

Writing

• "But all four writers left the series at the end of the season." I would either remove the "but" or combine it with another sentence. The first option makes the most sense to me.

• I'ved removed the "but". Miyagawa (talk) 20:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Casting

• I made some minor copyedits. Feel free to revert if any of them changed the meaning of the sentences.
• "Her departure has subsequently been blamed on Maurice Hurley" Who blamed Hurley?

• In this case, Keith Candido - he's written a few Star Trek books in the Pocket Books line and knows quite a bit of the background. I've copyedited it to make that clear. Miyagawa (talk) 20:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

• "There had been a letter writing campaign by fans..." might be better as "Fans started a letter-writing campaign..."

• Changed as suggested. Miyagawa (talk) 20:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

• "Todd also appeared as the older Jake Sisko in the Deep Space Nine episode 'The Visitor'." I'm not sure this line is relevant to the article.

• Removed. Miyagawa (talk) 20:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

• "Katsulas became better known for a main role in another American science fiction television series, Babylon 5, as G'Kar." Again, this may be beyond the scope of the article.

• No worries, removed it. Miyagawa (talk) 20:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Ratings

• "By the end of season two, The Next Generation had risen to become the third most viewed series in its timeslots." Timeslots? Is that intentional or a typo?

• I've changed it to timeslot. Miyagawa (talk) 20:50, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Other than those minor points, it all looks fine to me. Nice article! --Coemgenus (talk) 18:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
