Oo change of pace! I'll review this tomorrow (2 August UTC). ツ LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 05:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Copyvio check

Earwig gives me no concerns.

Prose

• How about instead of "and aired on" you make it "that aired on" (without a comma) to improve the flow of the sentence?
  • Good call.
• "WFIL-TV/Philadelphia's" – why a slash?
  • Definitely more of my helper on this one, User:Nathan Obral. Not quite right stylistically here.
• § Synopsis should really be entitled § Background.
  • Done
• I am a bit confused on Milt Grant's Record Hop (vs The Milt Grant Show).
  • The name changed by April 1957 and not earlier than the end of January. Added a ref to its first
• Wikilink ABC.
  • Done
• Wikilink UHF.
  • Done
• "Grant went on to a career in independent station management" – I would wikilink independent station here as it is wikilinked in the lead.
  • Done
• "Washington in 1966 and" – comma before and IMO since the sentence is long.
  • Reworded a bit
• "his 2007 death" – recommend "death in 2007" for formality.
  • Done
• Do we have an article on which National Archives it was screening it?
  • Yeah, good catch.
• I would honestly summarise the Grant National Archives quotation a bit.
  • Done

Refs

Passes spotcheck on refs 2, 8, 13 and 22. Nice work!

Others

• Reccomend template:use X English (optional)
• Short description goes at the very top.
  • Fixed

@LunaEatsTuna: First group of fixes. Awaiting ref checks. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 01:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Milt Grant Show; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• First hook verified; AGF on second offline source. Prefer first hook as it puts more emphasis on the show itself (is in Washington, D.C. really necessary though?), but both are fine. Article was promoted to GA within 7 days. No NPOV, no copyvio, hook cited inline, quotes cited inline and verified. @Sammi Brie: Nice job! :3 F4U (they/it) 14:49, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
