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

Did a few copyedits myself.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    dupdet spotchecks return no bulk copying.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral 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 fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
Specific
  • Per WP:LEADLENGTH, the lead should probably be condensed to one to two paragraphs; the last two can probably be merged without changing much.
  • Trimmed down to two paragraphs.
  • Removed it.
  • "Lost and Alias helped ABC win the night"; maybe change to: "With this, Lost and Alias helped ABC win the night" or some other transition.
  • I like your wording and have used it.
  • "... main characters crossing paths (Sawyer is ..."; is this an error, or the start of a parenthetical statement?
  • '... Ryan McGee characterized the episode as having a "weak backstory with a creeptastic ending," and enjoyed Locke for being ...'; perhaps change to: '... Ryan McGee characterized the episode as having a "weak backstory with a creeptastic ending," although he enjoyed Locke for being ...' (better contrast).
  • I like your wording and have used it.

Very good work! A few points, but nothing major. Might bring this one to DYK as well. 23W 08:42, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reviewing! I've addressed all but the "crossing paths" comment. I don't see any issues with that sentence (the parenthetical just includes an example of characters' crossing paths); could you clarify your opinion? Thanks! Ruby 2010/2013 03:22, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Whoops, looks like I didn't see the closing bracket. Looks good to me: pass! 23W 04:03, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
