GA Review[edit]

Hello. I'll be doing the Good Article review for this article. Here are some suggestions for improvement:

  • The image of the logo in the infobox is not low resolution, so it needs to be scaled down.
Done.
  • For the lead, I think the first two paragraphs should be combined, as they deal with the same basic topic. Then, some more points of the article should be added in a new paragraph. Some points to consider adding might include small notes on characters, awards, DVD releases, style/music, and maybe the number of episodes thus far.
  • What makes this a reliable website?
On their about section they state that Television Heaven is a factual work and not a work of fiction. Pretty ambiguous I know, but its not like the site is being used as a source for exceptional claims.
Done.
  • The last paragraph of the reception section needs some citations for the ratings.
  • These sentences "This campaign was reminiscent to CBS's Jericho fans' reaction over the show being canceled. On that occasion, fans sent over 20 tons of nuts to CBS headquarters." from the public reaction section don't really add anything, so I think the article would be better off without them.
Trivia removed.
  • Ref #50 is dead. Can a replacement be found?
  • Maybe the CSI Effect section would be better as a sub-section under criticism, add the info from currently in that section to it. Then, it won't have to be mentioned twice.
  • The rating figures for the 7th and 8th seasons need sources.
  • There are a couple of things cited by the IMDB that need a more reliable source. For example, "Anthony E. Zuiker chose to set the series in Las Vegas because—as mentioned in the pilot —that city's crime lab is the second most active in the United States, after the Federal Bureau of Investigation lab in Quantico, Virginia."

The article could also use a really good copyedit, but I'm willing to do that if everything else gets sorted out. The article will be on hold for seven days to allow for improvements. Nikki311 18:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the stuff that need better sources are on the DVD's extras, I'll try and find transcripts or locate the info on the DVDs.--Yamanbaiia(free hugs!) 09:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The seven days are up, but I'll let the editors have a few more since progress is being made. I plan to close this review on June 30. Nikki311 02:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. I went ahead and failed the article, but continue to work on this list and improve the article. Feel free to renominate in the future. Happy editing! Nikki311 21:06, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
