Hello. I will review this article. --Edge3 (talk) 00:56, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

• You don't need to link talk show. --Edge3 (talk) 03:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done--Work permit (talk) 05:01, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

• "Fearsome, devouring, vicious..." should be "Describing (or an equivalent) her as "fearsome, devouring, vicious..." --Edge3 (talk) 04:00, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

. Done--Work permit (talk) 05:01, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

• Instead of "Since that show, there had not been another Asian-American centered show or a main character who was Asian at the time the Ling character was created," try using "When the show aired, there had not been another Asian-American-centered show or an Asian main character at the time the Ling character was created." That might clarify some things a little bit. --Edge3 (talk) 00:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done Excellent suggestion, it is much clearer. I made the change. Not sure if "When the show.." or "After the show.." works better. What do you think?--Work permit (talk) 01:38, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I prefer "When the show...", since that fits in with the usage of the past perfect "there had not been" --Edge3 (talk) 01:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, done as you say.--Work permit (talk) 01:56, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

• "Nor is Ling above impersonating..." - Remove "above" since it really doesn't make sense. --Edge3 (talk) 01:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

It is confusing. How about "Ling will even impersonate the blind to get her way"?

Even better--Edge3 (talk) 02:01, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

• I would like to bring your attention to WP:LQ, which says, "On Wikipedia, place all punctuation marks inside the quotation marks if they are part of the quoted material and outside if they are not." I've tried to fix some of the punctuation errors, but I don't have access to your sources. Could you please address this? --Edge3 (talk) 00:00, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done--Work permit (talk) 20:57, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

• The article discusses the character's personality, but what about her role in the show? Brief statements in the lead and infobox aren't enough. --Edge3 (talk) 02:36, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I'll dig up the references and address the above two issues in the next day or two--Work permit (talk) 07:04, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm having problems using undeniably reliable sources to describe her role (as opposed to her personality). I could use a site like TV Acres, I've posted a thread on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard--Work permit (talk) 00:17, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't see TV Acres as unreliable, but let's see what the others are saying on the noticeboard. --Edge3 (talk) 00:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I just read this comment. You can go ahead and add the info in. --Edge3 (talk) 21:57, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

 Question:  Done Is this what you were looking for?

Looks great!--Edge3 (talk) 00:35, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

• I can't access ref 8. Are there issues with the link?--Edge3 (talk) 17:23, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

http://www.villagevoice.com/1999-11-30/news/the-ling-thing/http It works for me. would you like me to "webcite" them?

I'm using an iPhone right now, so that might be part of the problem. I'll get on a computer and take a look later. --Edge3 (talk) 18:26, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

• The infobox says that she's a judge, but the sources say that she's a lawyer. This is a contradiction. --Edge3 (talk) 21:00, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

she was originally a client of the firm, then a litigator, then finally a judge. I'll dig through references to make it clearer.--Work permit (talk) 21:55, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done--Work permit (talk) 00:14, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Good job with the article. I'm going to pass it for GA status now. --Edge3 (talk) 00:35, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the diligence and hard work.--Work permit (talk) 01:00, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
