  • Lead: I think production info should stay together (i.e. rearrange it so that the casting info with the writing, directing credits).
  • Brian Craston is wikilinked twice in lead
  • "...investigating possible, and erroneous, domestic terrorism." How is the domestic terrorism erroneous? I assume you mean that there ultimately was no terrorism?
  • No need to wikilink United States, United Kingdom, and Ireland (common words)
  • "The episode received 0.70 million viewers..." An episode does not "receive" viewers ;)
  • "The episode later won an American Society of Cinematographers award for best regular series" -> "Drive" won the award for Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography – Regular Series from the American Society of Cinematographers.
  • Quotation mark problems persist (" versus ')
  • Use consistent ref formatting (5 vs 7 for example)
  • Ref 7 publisher should be New York (also provide wikilink)
  • Unitalicize Critical Myth

I believe that's it. I'll place the review on hold for seven days (though it'd be cool if you get it done by the 28th, (b/c of the Wikicup). Thanks! Ruby 2010/2013 01:10, 24 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

OK, I believe I've fixed all the issues. Thank you for reviewing!--Gen. Quon (talk) 04:01, 24 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Drive (The X-Files). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals.

  • If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
  • If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.
