Feeling pretty rotten about my comments concerning another Eastenders article, so I'll take this one for review. Having had a quick read through it, my initial thoughts are that it looks to be fairly good so there shouldn't be any major problems. I'll have a closer look though so give me a day or so to have a good read of it. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 00:58, 21 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

ok, here goes. I must mention before I begin that I haven't watched EastEnders for several years, so am not overly familiar with the later storylines, other that what I've read about them in the press. Mostly this seems to be fine to me. There are no dead links or disambiguation pages, and the prose is reasonably well-written. The storyline appears in the present tense, and the past tense is used for the background and reception. It's fairly in-depth with reliable citations throughout, and gives a good overview of the character. We also have a couple of images that seem to be ok. There's one or two things that should be addressed before it passes, but it's definitely heading in the right direction.
  • Actual detectives thinking Marsden and her colleagues misrepresented their profession seems like a fairly big deal, so that should be included in the lead. Also a couple of quotes about her character would be nice.
  • Related media You need to do a quick read through here for punctuation. I've spotted 'hasnt' and im'. This would be ok if it quotes a misspelling in a printed journal, but as it's from a video it should appear correctly. Also you've misspelled her name as Mardsen. I found a couple of other things earlier on, but have corrected those.
Overall comments

Fairly good article that's within sight of a pass. Just needs a couple of tweaks then it should be fine. I'll pop it on hold for a few days so you can address the points I've made above, and I'll keep an eye on this so I can close up once everything's done. Good luck.

ok, I've done these because M Mario is reviewing another article for GA and there isn't much to do here. Now it can pass. Paul MacDermott (talk) 13:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
