I know almost nothing about Veronica Mars, but I think I can review this episode article on quality though.

Lead and infobox

• An image of the episode would be useful.

• I can add one if you want, but I don't feel that there's an image that's really necessary or appropriate…the less non-free content the better if it's unnecessary!

• "the only person who can give the stepson a life-saving bone marrow transplant." Can you link bone marrow?

• done

• "Dianna Agron, Richard Grieco, Ryan Pinkston, and Robert Ri'chard guest star or make their first appearances as recurring characters in the episode." Are you sure that some made their first appearances as recurring characters? Three are stated to be guests. Also, Agron isn't even in the infobox, even though the image states that she guest starred.

• Yes, I'm sure. See Dianna Agron filmography. I'm not sure why she isn't in the infobox, so I changed that. Johanna (aka BenLinus1214)^{talk to me!}_{see my work} 16:46, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Synopsis

• Should rape and criminology be linked?

• done

• "Veronica tells Weevil that she’s dating Logan (Jason Dohring), and he reacts negatively." "Veronica walks into Mars Investigations" I was wondering if it should start like this: "After the study, Veronica tells Weevil that she’s dating Logan (Jason Dohring), and he reacts negatively." And "Veronica then walks into Mars Investigations"

• done

• "Wallace (Percy Daggs III) is failing a class." Erm, more detail please?

• done

• "Sheriff Lamb (Michael Muhney) arrests Weevil for the robbery." Should start with meanwhile.

• done

• "Sheriff Lamb accuses Keith in the ex-husband’s disappearance." Wait, what? There was no mention that the ex-husband disappeared.

• oops. done

• "but when he visits the Dean, it turns out that his wife and stepson have disappeared to a hospital in Mexico, presumably taking the ex-husband with them." Don't think it should be "the Dean" also link Mexico.

• done

Production

• "Dianna Agron, famous for her role as Quinn Fabray on Glee, makes her first appearance on the series in this episode as Jenny, Veronica's classmate." Does that mean that she did NOT guest star? If so, remove the info in the image that said she did.

• Well, recurring characters are still credited as "guest stars"--they just guest star for several episodes. But I did change the wording in the caption.

Reception

• The ratings should state that this episode ranked lower and had fewer viewers than the previous.

• done

• "Eric Goldman, writing for IGN, gave a mixed to positive review, giving it a 7.5 out of 10, indicating that it was a "good" episode." To be honest, I don't think a "good" review is a mixed to positive one.

• done

References

• Used Checklinks and found the following problems:
• Ref 10 redirects.

• Maybe you picked up the "original" link--the page is archived as well in the ref.

• Ref 3 goes to TalkTalk, who states that they could not find the link and asks if I want to go to Teva instead.

• Those urls are so short that I sometimes just type them in myself, and it was a typo. Done.

• What makes Ref 14 a reliable source? Curious.

• Alan Sepinwall is a notable critic, and per WP:BLOGS, "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." Sepinwall is definitely an expert, and even this blog has been continued when he left The Star-Ledger and was employed at HitFix, thus the piped link in the "work" parameter of the ref.

Placing on hold for now. Good888 (talk) 13:30, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
