Hi Alex, I'll review this one for you. Will get some thoughts on the page up here soon. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:19, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
Okay, finally getting around to this. Here are some things I'd like to see fixed up before I promote the article to GA:
- I'd like the lead to be extended a bit, to give a better overview of the whole article. A couple of short paragraphs for the main sections would be better.
- Done Expanded the lead to three paragraphs, including broadcast, casting, production and special episodes. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- The opening paragraph of the Episodes sections appears to be OR.
- Done Removed. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- The episode summaries are a bit short, and some of them are bordering on preview-style synopses. I think some work is needed for them.
- Done All expanded through use of the episode articles and their summaries. -- AlexTW 12:48, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- The title card image and Tate image appear to me like they should be swapped around.
- Done Swapped. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- Looks like some referencing work is also required for the Casting and Writing sections.
- Done Added sources for all cast and writing; mostly all from the same BBC episode-specific site. -- AlexTW 12:48, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- I don't think we should be using the term "perished".
- Done Removed. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- I think there should be an overall release section, even though release dates are already noted in the episode table. I just think it would be good to have them in prose as well, and you can combine the other release-y stuff with it.
- Done Added, moved Marketing to it with its promotion content, and added a Broadcast section. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- The marketing section re-introduces characters and actors unnecessarily.
- Done Removed duplication. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- Is there any ratings information for the season beyond what is listed in the episode table?
- No, UK series typically only have the initial 7-day viewer ratings. There's also 28-day ratings available, but they have never had much of a standing in Doctor Who when reliable sources talk about the programme's ratings. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- There is some awkward wording in the Critical reception section, it needs a general c/e.
- Done Copy-edited and paragraphed. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- There are enough awards and nominations here that an awards table will probably be beneficial.
- Done Transferred to a table. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- The soundtrack section is unsourced, and is there a little more information you could add to it?
- Done Expanded slightly, not sure if there's much else to add. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- Make sure all references are filled out properly and archived.
- Done Ran the IABot on the page. -- AlexTW 12:48, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Have a go working through those, let me know if there are any questions or concerns, and when you are done so I can come back and have a look. - adamstom97 (talk) 00:57, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Adamstom.97: Hey Adam, thanks for waiting for me to get back to this; I had extremely spotty internet until recently, hence a bit of lack of activity, but now that I've got a decent connection again, I've gotten a solid start on the review. Should have it done soon; got most of your points done. -- AlexTW 11:25, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Adamstom.97: All done, cheers. -- AlexTW 12:48, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
- Cool, good job. Passed - adamstom97 (talk) 03:49, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Adamstom.97: All done, cheers. -- AlexTW 12:48, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
