• Gordon Cole - A target?

  Target? GRAPPLE X 18:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

  Like a link to Gordon Cole

  Ah, I get you now. Done. GRAPPLE X 23:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

• "the two are having an affair and planning to burn down the town's sawmill." - How are the two events related?

  Pretty much every interaction between the two concerns both; they're in bed together talking about the sawmill, or they're cooking the books and having it off. There's no real causality in it, though, as far as I can tell. I could try to make things clearer if you'd like. GRAPPLE X 18:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

• "confiscate the surgery's files to find who owns any birds." - Pardon?

  Reworded a little; it's a tricky thing to convey since things like "patient" or "client" surely refer to the animals and not the owners. GRAPPLE X 18:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

  Confused by "surgery". Is that used as a location in American English? Perhaps "office's files"

  Hmm, not sure about AmEng; I'd certainly use it (a local doctor or vet, like a General practitioner, would work from "a surgery"). I've changed it to "practice". GRAPPLE X 23:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

  Oxford says that's BrE.

• Standardise: Madeline or Maddy

  Got it. GRAPPLE X 18:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

• The Wild Wild West, Mayberry R.F.D. and The Fugitive - Contextual information for the uninitiated? Don't forget, Wild Wild West and The Fugitive may be remembered for the films (one good, the other a snark buffet)

  Added the "1960s television series" bit from the lead to the other mention. GRAPPLE X 18:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

• May 3 or May 5?

  3rd; not sure where I got 5th from. GRAPPLE X 18:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Further discussion

Thanks for your review; I believe I've seen to everything mentioned thus far. Let me know if there's anything else; and check this show out if you haven't already (though by now you probably know how it turns out). GRAPPLE X 18:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

• Okay, I think that's it. I gave a light copyedit too so be sure to double check. Passing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:45, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
