Review

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

---

This is a nice article. It has some minor issues that it could improve on. See below for issues

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   This is mainly good. But it includes Canada in lead, and is not in the article, other than there, great work

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   References are mainly good, other than a few sentence in the "Production" area

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Great work. No improvements needed here.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   Great work. No improvements needed here.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Great work. No improvements needed here.

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Great work. No improvements needed here either.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Nice article. Good luck.

Problems

• Lede: Fox Network → Fox network
• Lede: and subsequently aired in the United Kingdom. What channel was it aired on?
• Production: In this sentence, The episode was written by executive producer Frank Spotnitz, and marked his directorial debut. Because of his position as both the writer of the episode and the director, Spotnitz alter noted that it was hard to achieve perfection when filming the episode. There are no references, so a reference is needed. A few other also need citations. Please check the full section for unreferenced statements
• Reception: In the lead paragraph, it says that is debuted in the United States and Canada on May 6, 2001, so Canada should be added to first paragraph
• Reception: Add comma after On June 14, 2001
• Reception: For this sentence, On June 14, 2001 the episode premiered in the United Kingdom and Ireland and received 480,000 viewers making it the sixth most watched episode that week, behind Star Trek: Voyager and The Simpsons. Again, what channel was it aired on
• Reception: Not all reviews were positive. for Television Without Pity rated it B-, that doesn't seem very positive, that seems mixed

Nice article. I will put on hold for a few days to fix the above issues. Tate Brandley Stockwell 14:11, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

I believe I've addressed all the issues. The reason there isn't a reference for some of the production is because a majority of it is sourced to the commentary, and instead of putting that ref after every sentence (which is about every sentence), I just put it after the last sentence that uses the info in each paragraph, per this essay. Other than that, however, I have changed all the issues. Thank you very much for reviewing this.--Gen. Quon (talk) 14:49, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Agreed. Great work. I will promote to GA now. Tate Brandley Stockwell 22:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
