Shall review. Still remember this episode like yesterday...

General

• No dab links or dead ones for that matter.
• Rationale for the image seems fine.
• Remove whitespace in lead
  • There actually isn't any according to the wikitext...it has been showing up on some articles and I don't know why. Glimmer721 ^talk
• Is it "the Motorway" as the article styles under production, or just lowercase like in the plot?
  • Frankly I just don't know. I used it capitalized because I swear I had seen it before, and the TARDIS wiki does use that, but the BBC website and Davies' Radio Times episode guide this neglect mentioning it altogether. I'm not sure where else to look. I may just change it all to lowercase. Glimmer721 ^talk 20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
    • I'm not really fussed about whether it is capitalized or not -- which ever way you choose to style the word, just ensure all conform to that style.

Content

• The plot reads fine. "The Macra are monstrous crab-like alien beings that were once intelligent but now have devolved into feral beasts who attempt to capture and eat those that fly in the fast lane." needs a comma before 'who'.
  • Done. Glimmer721 ^talk 20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
• The plot needs to be cited.
  • I have never run into this issue before, as it is generally assumed that the primary source (the episode itself) is used. This appears to support this convention. Glimmer721 ^talk 20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
    • My mistake.
• '"Those on the Motorway sing the hymn "The Old Rugged Cross", and the hymn heard at the end of the episode is "Abide with Me"' hymn is already linked under "Davies also used hymns to signify hope". To avoid repetition, I suggest rewrite the sentence to "Those on the Motorway sing the hymn "The Old Rugged Cross", and the hymn heard at the end of the episode..."
  • Done, although I linked "hymn" on first occurrence in the plot summary instead. Glimmer721 ^talk 20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
• ""Gridlock" was broadcast directly after the FA Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Watford.", on what channel?
• BBC One could be wikilinked.
  • Both done; I liked BBC One on first occurance in the former sentence. Glimmer721 ^talk 20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
• I would advise you to put a note on the BARB citation because webpage just redirects to the current top 30 programmes. Something like "Note: Information is in the section "Apr 09 – Apr 15", listed under BBC One in 2007"
  • Done. Glimmer721 ^talk

Shall pass once comments have been addressed. On hold until then. Lemonade51 (talk) 17:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Have addressed everything, with some questions above. Thanks for reviewing! Glimmer721 ^talk 20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

User:Redrose64 was kind enough to fix the white space problem, and I capitalized all mentions of the Motorway unless quoted (as it was in one review). Glimmer721 ^talk 01:32, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Great, happy to pass. Nice job. :) Lemonade51 (talk) 15:37, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
