Review
edit- Initial comment
- At a start, there are no reasons to quickfail; fairly obviously, this article is in good shape.
- General
- No disambiguation links, follows WP:TV-NAME, follows WP:LENGTH well (1365 words).
- Infobox
- Production code needs to be cited.
- Removed it as I couldn't figure out where it came from (I had just lifted it from the episode list). GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) There should be a reference at IGN or epguides, or at the very least, the DVD. TBrandley 23:37, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Removed it as I couldn't figure out where it came from (I had just lifted it from the episode list). GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Production code needs to be cited.
- Lead
- No issues; follows WP:TVLEAD well.
- Plot
- Background
- No issues; follows WP:TVPLOT well.
- Events
- The paragraphs are really short, in turn detracting from the readability. Merge some paragraphs into larger ones.
- Merged a few. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- "Ferguson is identical to Laura save for her red hair." -- What is that sentence trying to say?
- Clarified this. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- "Elsewhere, Jacques realizes his brother is in truoble, and calls Johnson for help." -- "Trouble" is misspelled.
- Got it. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- The paragraphs are really short, in turn detracting from the readability. Merge some paragraphs into larger ones.
- Background
- Production
- "The episode introduces the character of Maddy Ferguson, the second role played by Sheryl Lee after Ferguson's cousin Laura Palmer." -- WP:SURNAME says after a name is given in full, the surname should be given thereafter. That said, "Sheryl Lee" and "Laura Palmer" should just be "Lee" and "Palmer".
- Got it. Shortened "Laura Palmer" to "Laura" though as "Leland Palmer" is also mentioned elsewhere. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- "Lee had been a stage actor living in Washington, where "Pilot" was filmed, and had remained there after production moved to Los Angeles as she believed that, with her character dead, she would have no further part in the series." -- Link Washington and Los Angeles.
- Got it. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- "Rathborne chose to open the episode with a shot centred on Sherilyn Fenn, finding the actress to be "seductive" and "absorbing" in similar manner to screen icon Marilyn Monroe." -- It should say "in a similar manner".
- Got it. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- "The episode introduces the character of Maddy Ferguson, the second role played by Sheryl Lee after Ferguson's cousin Laura Palmer." -- WP:SURNAME says after a name is given in full, the surname should be given thereafter. That said, "Sheryl Lee" and "Laura Palmer" should just be "Lee" and "Palmer".
- Broadcast and reception
- ""Episode 3" was first broadcast on the ABC Network on April 19, 1990. -- MOS:ACRO says to write out the acronym's meaning in full with the acronym in parentheses after on first mention. That said, it should say "on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC)".
- Got it. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- "Television Without Pity's Daniel J. Blau praised the episode's black humour, singling out in particular the scene in which Miguel Ferrer's character is punched after an argument in the town morgue. -- WP:SURNAME (only say "Ferrer's character").
- Got it. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- "However, Blau was critical of guest stars Walter Olkewicz and Clay Wilcox, finding their attempted French-Canadian accents particularly poor." -- WP:SURNAME applies here as well.
- ""Episode 3" was first broadcast on the ABC Network on April 19, 1990. -- MOS:ACRO says to write out the acronym's meaning in full with the acronym in parentheses after on first mention. That said, it should say "on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC)".
v**"Writing for Digital Spy, Tony Delgado has also praised Ferrer's role as Albert Rosenfield, adding that his dialogue "may not appear to be the epitome of wit, but the way [Ferrer] delivered such lines caused plenty of howling hysterics in living rooms across the globe"." -- WP:SURNAME.
- Got it. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Footnotes
- Due to many of the citations being print sources, I was unable to check most of them. However, I did check FN4, 5, 7, 16, 17, 19, 20, & 21; no plagiarism or copyright issues exist. The hopeful lack of copyright violations and WP:SYNTH in the unavailable sources is on the honor system.
- Coinciding with the above, all reference links are intact.
Overall, very well put-together article. I am placing this on hold for the minor issues to be addressed. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your review. I believe I've got everything, let me know if there's anything else that needs to be addressed. GRAPPLE X 21:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
