   Pass/Fail:

Comments

• "She was chosen for the role because series creator Craig Silverstein wanted an actress who was "beautiful, who could fight," and be believable with a gun, qualities the producers felt Q had, while the actress was intrigued by the original Nikita film and Luc Besson's creation of an incredibly flawed female character." Long, run-on sentence that needs rewording
• Too many "she"s and "her"s in plot; "Her first kill assignment was Victor Han (Russel Wong)." Her -> Nikita's
• "In "The Guardian" Nikita reluctantly takes an ally in Owen Elliot (Devon Sawa), Monroe's killer and guardian to a black box, which houses Division's operations.[5][6] " Reword
• Identify who Seymour Birkhoff is
• "Alex is discovered to be her mole who would no longer wish to help Nikita;" Reword, plus the sentence is too long (three semicolons!)
• Link The CW in creation section
• Also in creation section, you use "wanted" a lot; change it up
• "before we knew who Nikita ..." Capitalize before
• "Because the CW is a fashion-orientated network, there were times Nikita had to be dressed in a certain way to get her noticed." This is a little ambiguous; noticed by who? Viewers? Other characters on the show?
• Slate is italicized
• Either add publishers for all sources, or remove the ones who have (i.e. The New York Times Company etc)

Otherwise, article looks good. On hold for seven days while above issues get addressed. Please respond here when finished. Thanks, Ruby comment! 21:58, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

I have addressed the issues more or less. For the last comment I decided to add publishers on all sources I could. However, I'm having trouble identifying Collider, HitFix, and PopMatters. -- Matthew RD 17:13, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm I can't seem to find those publishers either. Oh well, it's possible there is no publisher. Anyways, I'm happy to pass this one. Nice work, Ruby comment! 18:52, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
