I've listed this article for peer review because I've been working on it for many months, and feel it is becoming mature. I'm running out of ideas for improvement and how far off it is from becoming a Good Article. Any help much appreciated!

A few things:

Add a bit more to the lead if you can. The first paragraph is mainly a listing of issues. You could maybe add something about it's critical reception.
There's a couple references that need to be formatted properly. They're currently just links. (ex. ref #2).
"There is also a Skins bot for Windows Live Messenger." - explain what the Skins bot does. I have to click on the reference to know this.
Refs 21 and 31 are dead links.

Cheers and good luck on GA. Mahanga^Talk 14:36, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your review, Mahanga. I've fixed up all the references, and expanded the bot section. I'm unsure of how to expand the introduction though... Pretzels^Talk! 16:47, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would look at the article and see if the lead sufficiently summarizes the text. You can add stuff about its reception and also a sentence about the creation of 'skins parties'.

MOS:BOLD generally advises against using bolding for emphasis except in the first sentence of the lead. I'm not sure if other tv related articles use bold to highlight character names. Mahanga^Talk 17:56, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
