Checking against GA criteria

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

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Again, "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."

   Done. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

   LEAD, no summary or mention of production

   Done. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

   Just before the lead plot summary, maybe add, "In this episode..." I think it helps to separate fact from fiction

   Done. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

   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"?

   Done. Also culled a few names off the bottom, the list looked far too long and crufty at a second glance. GRAPPLE X 03:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   All good

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Thorough coverage, no sign of trivia

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Neural POV

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   No edit warring

6. 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?

   The only relevant one I could think of was the one of Spotnitz and Carter together, since they co-wrote the episode. Tried looked for an example of the magnetic fluid they rejected as a black oil prop, but it's definitely not a ferrofluid and there's nothing else I could see about magnetic fluids.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed.--Gen. Quon (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

   Alrighty, I like the look. I pass! The magnetic fluid would've been cool, but oh well. :P--Gen. Quon (talk) 15:48, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
