Never seen the series, but I like the episode title, so I'll review. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:08, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Passing infobox, lead, EL.
Production
- "Inspiring" is technically correct for the intake of helium, I'm guessing most readers either won't know this meaning, or will have to pause for a second to consider whether it's correct (as I did.)
- Nothing you need to be concerned of, but I thought I'd remark my surprise that Runewars doesn't have an article on Wikipedia. I've heard of it, I'm pretty sure it's even featured in the front window of a store at Ontario's largest mall. Anyway, intriguing.
Reception
- "payed off" is technically correct, and avoids the money connotation of the word, but again confusing overall to the average reader. Since the series is Canadian, I'll defer to the Globe and Mail Style Guide, which actually suggests payed is "misspelled" (which is an extreme interpretation). Complex language is always welcomed, but this variant only serves to slow down readers.
References
- So, fun... TV Guide Canada just shut down after 60 years (they stopped in print earlier). It seems that they pulled their content from Loop. Which is stupid, because presumably the owners could still get royalties for them. Archive.org seems to only have archived the "oops" message.
- I tweeted the former editor in chief, and apparently all the TV Guide content is 100% gone. (She has a new site, thetvjunkies.com, but that only helps us for upcoming episodes.) Ultimately, WP:LR says that we can leave this be, and ultimately, I do trust this citation was accurate.
- Otherwise, the references are all clear.
Plot section review still to come. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:15, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, Zanimum - I've made the changes you suggested. Re: TV Guide Canada, I have removed the URL from the citation and used the cite news template, but let me know if you think the link should've stayed. 97198 (talk) 14:03, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- So long as Wikipedia maintains its history function, I think we're safe as you've got it now.
- GA! -- Zanimum (talk) 16:26, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
