I shall be reviewing this article against the Good Article criteria, following its nomination for Good Article status.

Disambiguations: I found and fixed two disambiguations.diff

Linkrot: I found three dead links to The Times, but they are now live. Please note that all News International titles, The Times, Sunday Times, The Sun, News of the World will become pay per view from June 2010.

Checking against GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
The word "coupling" is used twice to describe the pairing of Frank and Peggy."Coupling" does have some connotations: "The act of uniting sexually." Might I suggest "pairing off" or something else? (NB not a GA requirement)

...rebuffed Frank's attempt at reconciliation and left him to depart the serial alone. Could we tweak this a bit - it mixes the in-universe world of the soap with the real world of leaving the cast of the series. Done
This now reads ...rebuffed Frank's attempt at reconciliation and left him to depart alone. anemoneprojectors talk 20:18, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I made a few minor copy-edits.diff
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Windsors final scenes will be filmed in July 2010 and aired around September 2010,[citation needed] almost a year after she announced her exit. Citation needed tag. This stray sentence should consolidated with the previous paragraph as well. Done
I have removed that line as as far as I know the only source about her final scenes were to say she leaves in July, but it was unclear if it meant she ends filming then or that's when the episodes are shown. Something will come up to support it in the future, I'm sure. anemoneprojectors talk 20:14, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~OK, just the three dead links, noted above, to be resolved. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 21:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)~~[reply]
Oops, I didn't see that at the top there. I checked the three links you marked as dead but they're not dead. I'm guessing the pay-per-view thing isn't a problem at the moment, but we can archive them manually before then to save searching in future. Is this something that will happen to all articles on that date or is it a time thing? Because I know lots of old pages for those pages are still there if you have the direct url. Sorry, it's nothing to do with this GA but if it's happening for every news item for those papers then it's going to affect lots of articles. anemoneprojectors talk 21:58, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Right, they are live now, must be a temporary thing. WebCite is a useful tool for archiving news links which are likely to rot. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 22:11, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All other references check out, are RS and support the cited statements.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Thorough and well focussed
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Just a few isues above to be addressed. On Hold for seven days. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 19:04, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
