GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

Ah, good, a mythology episode—and even better, a Skinner one.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   "seasonender" -> Is this one word in the source? Seems like it should be two.
   The "cultural references" thing should go under "reception", as it's about a reference made to the episode from a later source, not one found in the episode.
   In the plot section, perhaps link Assistant Director to Federal Bureau of Investigation#Organization and rank structure. Definitely add the cast to the plot section though, especially Pileggi, Barry, Duchovny and Anderson; and give Mulder and Scully first names. Link Alex Krycek and explain who he is.
   "Mulder and Scully witness a "bruise" on his ribs growing" -> it is a bruise, just not a boxing injury. I'd remove the quotation marks here.
   "0.69 million" -> I'm wondering if this would read better as 690,000 or 690 thousand. What's your opinion?

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

   Ref 5 doesn't need an accessdate, and again there's a few consecutive refs that could be folded in.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   Grand.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Grand.

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   Aye, fine.

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Pic could do with mention of how the makeup effects it depicts are discussed in the article.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Sticking this on hold for the time being. Season 6 is nearly done, I should probably get some work done for the season article and see if we can get it up as a good topic candidate soon.

OK, I believe I've fixed all the issues. As for the season, I just need to get "Field Trip" finished (I'm stuck on the critical reception part, maybe if you ever have some free time you can fill that in with that handy book you have). If you need any help on the main season page, I'd be more than willing to help.--Gen. Quon (talk) 03:44, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Working on the Millennium episodes, I found that whole-season reviews on sites like DVD Talk sometimes take the time to highlight a particular episode or even run through the whole set. There's likely to be reviews out there for the full season and they might make specific mention of "Field Trip". Even if they just do so in passing, if they call it good or bad it still helps you bulk out the section and shapes whether overall reception is positive or negative. I'll have a look for some when I'm working on season 6 (just a few more GA reviews left for it too), and stick any good ones on your talk page. I'll fire the Shearman review into it as well. As for this fella, it's good to go now. Stuck the information I mentioned about the picture on File:SR 819 x files.jpg, I should have been clearer about that, but the infobox caption looks good too anyway. Well done again!

Awesome. Found one on DVD Talk that mentioned "Field Trip," so I added it in. I'll look around. Thanks for passing!--Gen. Quon (talk) 16:28, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
