I like this character (probably influenced by my fondness of the actress!). I won't be able to get to this until Friday or Saturday (at the earliest) though. Ruby 2010/2013 15:43, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   Pass/Fail:

Comments

• Perhaps mention the years she was in the series earlier in the lead?
• introduces, a running joke - unnecessary comma
• Despite being introduced as fair minded and hard working, the character - make clear you're talking about Harriet here
• is killed off in the penultimate episode of the - link of this episode?
• Make sure direct quotes are immediately followed by citations
• No need to link Eccleston more than once in article body
• I got to sacrifice myself to save the world." [8] - unnecessary space
• Collinson "[couldn't] bear the thought she's dead" - did he actually say that, or is that what someone else attributed to him?
• death and Davies stated - add comma after death
• Use single quote marks within quotations (" vs. ')
• I assume Davies intended for Harriet to reflect Margaret Thatcher (what with the Doctor's "looking old" line); perhaps add something about this to the production section? Currently all that is said about it is what critics are reading into it

My Comments -- Oh I loved the ending where she blew up that ship! Spot-on as you Brits like to say! I didn't think the story was a anti-war message, I thought it was right down the middle. Both reasonable sides (Hawk/Dove) were presented and for the record, I would have done exactly the same thing. It was also a good way to introduction Torchwood. It is a shame that Torchwood was so violent. Torchwood was a great idea but to much blood was spilled. --68.118.188.188 (talk) 19:40, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

oh, and for the main picture, it would be fabulous if you got one of her showing her ID!--68.118.188.188 (talk) 19:41, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Seems comprehensive and no issues on images. Well done with the prose, just a few minor nitpicks above. I'll place the review on hold for seven days. Nice work! Ruby 2010/2013 22:17, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Eshlare, don't forget about Esther Drummond. Glimmer721 ^talk 01:51, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

I made a few more tweaks, and the article now looks ready for GA status. Nice work! Ruby 2010/2013 04:16, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
