Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:56, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Add a comma after "April 29, 2008" per MOS:DATECOMMA.
• Add a serial comma after "Milgram experiments".
• "Milgram experiments" → "Milgram experiment" (consistency with #Production)
• Add a serial comma after "Grand Central Terminal".
• "10pm" → "10{{nbsp}}pm" (10 pm) per MOS:TIME.
• If you add a quote to the lead, you have to recite a source per WP:QUOTE.
  • Done all of the above. Removed the quote from the lead, as it was from a source long gone from the article. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:32, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Plot

• "voice skills" → "vocal skills"
• Remove the comma after "his ankle".
• Without the names in parentheses, this section is 416 words. Try to get it down to 400 per MOS:TVPLOT.
  • Done. Plot should be 400 exact now. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:38, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Production

• "guest starring" → "guest-starring" (both uses)  Done
• Add a serial comma after "Milgram experiment".  Done
• Also add a serial comma after Mo Rocca.  Done
• Various references in this section are dead. I'll point them out but an archive or replacement needs to be found for each of them.  Done
• Reference in the caption, which is also used in prose, is dead.  Done
• The first reference in this section is dead.  Done
• "and who faces serious repercussions" is not part of the quote.
  • Changed.
• The current-live reference after "like to appear on the show" doesn't show any text.
  • Not quite sure what to do here. I can try contacting the site to get a fix. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:56, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
• In the reference after Homicide: Life on the Street, I don't think the use of "|quote=" is necessary since it's recited later on.  Done
• Reference after "event" is also dead.  Done
• Why is there a summary of the episode in this section? I would remove it.  Done
• The reference after "pillow fight" (from Just Jared) is not reliable per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 266#Just Jared.
  • I had this particular source whitelisted at WT:WHITELIST and thus believe it can be used in the article. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:56, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
• With the archive not showing any content and the link not working anymore, the reference after "appeared as himself" is dead.
  • Long story short, I saved all the HighBeam articles offline and just archived this one using dropbox and archive.is. - JuneGloom07 Talk 18:15, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Reception

• Try lowering the use of quotes in this section with the help of WP:RECEPTION.  Done
• Recite sources at the end of each quote per WP:QUOTE.  Done
• The reference from The Radio Times is dead.
  • Updated.
• Same issues for the references after "by Rook", "grand exit", and "unsung roles".  Done

References

• Archive all archivable references (either manually or with this tool). Keep in mind that references from The Futon Critic can only be archived with archive.today.
  • Archived them manually, including FC. Also updated some urls. - JuneGloom07 Talk 03:07, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
• Instead of "(subscription required)", mark that reference with "|url-access=subscription".  Done
• Most of my comments on references are in #Production above.
• Mark references from Los Angeles Times with "|url-access=limited".  Done

Progress

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: 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):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

While I am grateful for the pass (and review), it was a bit premature. I'm working on finishing the last of the points raised now. - JuneGloom07 Talk 18:02, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
