Use 'while' only when two things are happening separately at the very same time. I don't remember if it is the case here. Replace it if it is not so

Fitz and Simmons, after looking over Coulson's files, realize that Coulson was revived at a place known as the "Guest House", where Coulson, Ward, Garrett, and Fitz find many explosives after taking out the only guards. - its fine. If possible, just mention that they went there. Right now we talk about the files and immediately about explosives at the place

This concludes Phase one ;) — Yash! ^[talk] 05:24, 26 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Phase two

Production

Shouldn't “Ragtag,” be 'Ragtag,' since it is said inside ""
- The "" are used because it is an episode title. - adamstom97 (talk) 04:32, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
We don't have an article on B.J. Britt?

directors' responsibility is "to visually interpret the writer’s intent as written in the individual episode teleplays. - that applies to TV shows in general. Even if said particularly for the show, it goes for every show directed. It goes off topic so best to remove that part.
- Done - adamstom97 (talk) 04:32, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
There are a lot of things as quotes. Last paragraph of filming can be written without them using the material.
- Have cut the quotes down. - adamstom97 (talk) 04:32, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
It is a modified C17 transport plane that is outfitted with S.H.I.E.L.D. technology. It serves as the mobile headquarters of Agent Coulson’s S.H.I.E.L.D. team - Facts like that for sure should not be in quotes. Please write that in your own language
- I removed it since we already explain this in our own words above. - adamstom97 (talk) 04:32, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
FuseFX also worked on Lola, Coulson’s "vintage 1962 Corvette. It’s a classic car - FuseFX also worked on Lola, Coulson’s "vintage 1962 Corvette" which was described as "a classic car...
Lola is described as a Chevy Corvette then a 1962 Corvette. Better to have it one way. I would prefer 1962
In 'Episodes' it is 'after the events of Iron Man 3 and here Avengers. Clarify that please and stick to one.
there is no need to mention '2013 film' and '2014 film. Remove them

That is it for Phase two! — Yash! ^[talk] 03:19, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Phase three: Finite Part 1

Reception

biggest drama launch of the year - use of words such as 'biggest' is discouraged. Either use it with "" if that is how it is present in the source or use something else. I would not prefer the former
'The Seven Network'. If you mention that about Australia, mention about other countries as well or don't mention the networks at all. Whichever you like
'first episode'. In England it is 'episode' so go with 'episode' or 'it'. No need to mention 'first'
By the time the full season was picked up it ranked... - in which country?
the entire pilot - the pilot
there is no need of mentioning 'especially on a network with "Scandal moms and Dancing with the Stars grandparents",'. Please remove it
while Entertainment Weekly 's initial reactions were that... - its too long. Start with the EWs comments in a new sentence.
link IGN
as a whole 7.5 - a 7.5
- Done all above. - adamstom97 (talk) 15:28, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
You have done a great job. My only concern is the lack of notable reviews in the "critical reception". Like you have forbes and lat in the "analysis", can we have names like that in "cr"? You don't need to write a whole paragraph or something big. All I want to see is addition of one line or two from notable sources and removal of a line or two, both things in the current existing big paragraphs with reviews from only one less notable site. I am talking about last three paragraphs. Though IGN and the artist are notable, an entire paragraph about what one person is saying, is not right. Trim it and add at least one other review in each of those three paragraphs
- @Favre1fan93: do you have any thoughts on how to proceed with this one, especially since we have been trying to use season reviews for this section? - adamstom97 (talk) 15:28, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
  - @Yash!: As Adam stated, we (for the most part) were using the reception section to highlight responses to the season as the whole. So if the LA Times or Forbes did not give those type of reviews, they are not included. We can look to see if maybe the AV Club has one, maybe Zap2It or Variety, but I think that was it. That was partially the reason for the "Analysis" separation. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:35, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
    - Fair enough :) — Yash! ^[talk] 18:00, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Favorite New TV Drama - Is there something wrong with my phone or is the font of it actually bigger than the other awards?
- I don't see any issue, could just be how your phone is presenting it. - adamstom97 (talk) 15:28, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
  - That's a pattern with all pages. I guess I need a new phone! — Yash! ^[talk] 18:00, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

I will go through the references and imagining in part two and it will over. Thanks — Yash! ^[talk] 06:33, 28 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Phase three: Finite Part 2

Remove the reference from the lead and include that in the prose please
- Declining that, as there is no reasonable place in prose to place it, as it has nothing to do with any aspect of the first season. It is acceptable per WP:LEADCITE. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:06, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Images need WP:ALT
- Done - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:06, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
in the 'Art of Level Seven', highlighting -> highlights
- Do you mean in the caption? I don't feel that has to change. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:06, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
TVLine is italicised in ref 30, not in 33. Be consistent. It shouldn't be in italics
Unlink TVLine from ref 33.
Deadline.com is linked every time in the references. Only keep it linked when it is first introduced.
'crave online' should not be italicised in ref 71
ref 72 needs 'work'
ref 73 needs as well
link HitFix once in the references
ref 78 needs 'work'
so does ref 79, 80, 81, 82, 83 and 84.
IGN shouldn't be italicised in ref 85
MTV splash page should not be italicised if I am not wrong, ref 87
Entertainment Weekly should be only linked once
same goes for Marvel.com
Digital spy shouldn't be italicised
ref 150 needs 'work'
What is the purpose of 'General references'?
- Okay, so I just notice that the ref section was really in bad shape. I cleaned it up to make sure everything had a publisher and/or work fields. I will continue to check this, because I may have missed some, even if this review passes. Additionally, all should include links in those fields, not the first occurrence. General references are for the episode info (minus plot). Even though they eps them selves are their own source, it is just there for a "catch all" if necessary. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:06, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
  - It shouldn't be link every time. For e.g., if you have linked IGN once in a source, it should not appear again in any other. It will be clear overlinking. — Yash! ^[talk] 05:30, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
    - This is an exception to overlinking, and is not in violation of it. I've never had any issue with this from other GA reviews. They've actually encouraged the linking of publishers when there weren't any. Because the ref list is not static, the first instance that is chosen, may not always be the first one in the list if the refs are moved around in the article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 05:35, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
      - From 7 to 27, it has been linked 20 times. And THR, from 140 to 144. I am not asking to unlink all. I believe that is too much. — Yash! ^[talk] 05:48, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
        If you look at the list, yes it looks like a "mass of blue", but if a reader hovers over the ref link, so they never get to the list, each should be link for that reason alone. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 06:15, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
        I still think it shouldn't be linked that much. However, it isn't a big concern. — Yash! ^[talk] 06:41, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

That should just about do it. — Yash! ^[talk] 03:20, 29 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
