This article will be reviewed within 7 days, and just a note to the nominator, I do my review with a "main list" with the title Review and then separate sections for prose and source reviews. Let's have fun! Brandon (MrWooHoo) • Talk to Brandon! 02:26, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for taking this one on; please, take your time as it is a longer article and I have another article being reviewed at the moment. Thanks! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 02:42, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

@Bentvfan54321: By the way, I do my reviews in a style with a "main review" then with prose and source separate reviews (if necessary) (Here is a good example.)

Usually, I finish in 3-4 days, but I have tommorow off for a school day, so I'll probably get the review done by tommorow. ;) Brandon (MrWooHoo) • Talk to Brandon! 22:24, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Main Review

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	The prose doesn't veer off topic, there are no copyright issues, and no glaring mistakes in the prose (more in-depth check will be done in the prose review below)
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	The article from a first glance follows The Manual of Style and the lead, layout, etc. are all suitable. Also, there aren't any "pigeon words" that I clearly see.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	From a first look, all sentences/paragraphs are relevantly sourced. More details in source review. No mistakes in how the article is referenced.
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	All prose is suitably referenced.
	2c. it contains no original research.	There are no paragraphs/sentences that are not sourced aka are original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	Again, the article is to the point, and covers the aspects that it should cover.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	The article is focused, with no "unnecessary detail."
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	The article is neutral.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	No edit wars that I've seen.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	All pictures are tagged correctly for copyright status,
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Images are relevant to each section, there are plenty to go around. Captions are also relavent.
	7. Overall assessment.	Article is now on hold. Please see comments in prose review. Good job! Pass. Brandon (MrWooHoo) • Talk to Brandon! 21:41, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Prose Review

Note: If you correct what I noted, use Y. However, if you think it can only be somewhat corrected use Y. Lastly, if it can't be corrected/shouldn't be corrected use N. Place 1 out of these 3 after the note. You do not need to respond to comments that say Good.

• For example: Make the lead shorter. Y Done. -sign- OR Y Partly done. -insert text- OR N Not done. -insert text-

ACTUAL PROSE REVIEW BEGINS HERE

• Lead: Good. It sums up the article and its length is appropriate.

• Gameplay Section

"The main game is a quiz competition wherein the goal is to correctly answer a series of consecutive multiple-choice questions." Is main needed?

Y Done. --SethAllen623 (talk) 14:07, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

"Contestants were originally faced with fifteen questions of increasing difficulty, but since the format was overhauled in 2010, the contestants are faced with fourteen questions of random difficulty, distributed into two rounds." Maybe say "...however since then the format the format was overhauled in 2010 and the contestants are now faced with only fourteen questions....."

Y Done. --SethAllen623 (talk) 14:07, October 16, 2014 (UTC)

(Payout structure, lifeline, and top prize winners' subsections have no errors)

• Personnel Section No problems. Good.

• Production Section No problems. Good.

• Broadcast History Section No problems. Fantastic! (You really worked hard to fix prose mistakes! I applaud you on your effort!)

• Special edition Section Dang, no problems. Great!

• Reception section NO PROBLEMS!

Excellent, thank you Seth. I came here to get to fixing these issues as I've been in school all day, but I see I've been beaten to it (which certainly is not a bad thing). Looks like it's  Done! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 21:34, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
