Lowest series ratings

[edit]

I added a sentence on the ratings tab stating that this episode, while highly viewed compared to other programs of the day, is the lowest rated epsiode in the revival of Doctor Who. This is fact, based on actual numbers. The only news story I could find was Daily Mail, but the facts remain the same - so I think the fact should be stated on this page. This is not my personal bias its simply a fact. (Aricmfergie (talk) 05:33, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Even if it's a fact (as you've stated above four times), which it is, it still requires a source. Unfortunately, Daily Mail cannot be used as a source per WP:RSPSOURCES; see the very clear consensus listed at WP:DAILYMAIL. If it's the only news story, then simply wait until another is available; see WP:NORUSH. There's no rush to add it. -- Alex_21 TALK 05:52, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Besides, if you actually read the source, it was posted on 4 January, and thus discusses the overnight ratings, not the consolidated ratings. This thus makes the article false: this episode didn't actually receive the lowest overnight ratings since the programme's revival in 2005; "The Eaters of Light" received 2.89M overnight viewers, as compared to the 3.21M overnight viewers this episode received, which is the rating that the Daily Mail discusses. I would recommend actually reading what you add; the Daily Mail is anything but "fact". -- Alex_21 TALK 05:57, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Under devolopement "Zooom" should be spelt "Zoom"  Done
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.
    a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
    Tell me about "Sanity" and "Thinkbox"
    @OlifanofmrTennant: Sanity is used in the same method that WP:RSPAMAZON would be used. It's simply verifying a non-controversial and undisputed release date. I replaced Thinkbox with BARB. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:08, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Selected 10 at random sources all check out
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the ytral 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 non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    Alt text needed for lead image  Done
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
