I'll be glad to take this one; as it happens, I watched this episode for the first time about a month ago. Initial comments to follow in the next 1-5 days. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:33, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
A few initial comments. This looks very solid so far--I'll be back on in an hour or so to try to finish this up. -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:26, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- " leading the adult Rose to eulogize about her father" -- this is a little unclear, and I can't remember exactly how this plays out. Is the adult Rose watching the conversation of young Rose and Jackie? Or is the adult Rose recalling her mother's different version? As a minor grammatical point, I think the standard form is to say just "eulogize her father" (no "about").
- Yeah that is strange; it's a separate scene with a voice-over of adult Rose (over a picture of her father). I clarified it. Glimmer721 talk 02:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
Done -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:30, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

- "the death or Rose's father" -- should this be "death of"?
Done -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:30, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- Oops, fixed. Glimmer721 talk 02:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- I'd suggest cutting the Grim Reaper image. It seems a little misleading to have it, since a reader may think this is an early production sketch; almost all readers will know what the Grim Reaper looks like in any case.
- It seems worth clarifying here that the Reapers were entirely CGI (or were there any practical effects mixed in)?
- I worked it in; as seen in Confidential, there were no practical effects aside from markers where the actors were supposed to look. Glimmer721 talk
- Why is " Smith?, Robert" written with the question mark? -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:26, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Done -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:30, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
Checklist
[edit]The biggest concern I see here is the note under 2b. On the whole, though, this is excellent work. Let me know your thoughts. -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:05, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing! I will tackle this in the next couple of days. As for Robert Smith?, he explains it here at his University of Ottawa page. Glimmer721 talk 22:42, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- How bizarre... thanks for the link to clear that up. -- Khazar2 (talk) 22:49, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, only two minor points left then. -- Khazar2 (talk) 12:30, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about the Grim Reaper image since I think there's no issue with having it in the article, license-wise, and it provides a nice contrast to the image above. Should I clarify that it is not a production sketch instead? I am also on the fence about Shannon Sullivan and try to use it for minor things that are supported easily by other sources. He does cite his sources and the website is used heavily in the FA "Doomsday". Glimmer721 talk 01:12, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- If the Sullivan made it through FA as a source, it's good enough for GA; it's not as if it's being used for anything controversial here anyway. There's definitely no problem with the Grim Reaper image license-wise, as you say, but it's a little unclear from the caption what the image is/how it relates to the article--or at least why this particular portrayal was selected to represent the grim reaper image the show's creators were imagining. I myself clicked on the image history to make sure it was just a random Grim Reaper drawing and not something actually related to the show. Perhaps you could add a parenthetical saying something like "Pictured: an artist's representation of a Grim Reaper"--does that make sense to you? Thanks for all the fixes! -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:37, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
- Yes that was along the lines of what I was thinking of putting in the caption. I've done it now. Thanks for reviewing! Glimmer721 talk 16:43, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
