Hi! Will review this. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 15:20, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@JuneGloom07: I have added all my comments: Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 06:52, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

Ruth Archer (previously Pritchard) I think this should read better as "Ruth Archer (née Pritchard)"
- I've changed it to "Ruth Archer (also Pritchard)" as fictional characters are created and not born. There's been a big thing at WP:SOAPS about it, and I believe "also" was the compromise. - JuneGloom07 Talk 02:25, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I assume there is no link for Felicity Finch? Can we add "actress" and her nationality? Done
She made her debut in the 15 July 1987 episode broadcast. I think ""broadcast" may be omitted Done
Can Liz Rigbey be linked? Don't if this is to be a redlink.
- No article I'm afraid. - JuneGloom07 Talk 02:25, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
strong willed Should there not be a dash in between? Done

Creation and casting[edit]

Instead of adding the Smethurst citation to the end of each of the first few lines of the section, you can simply add it to the end of the last line it supports.
- I think I've done this right. - JuneGloom07 Talk 02:43, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Can you add who exactly Smethurst is? Author? Critic? Done
Link "love interest" as you have in the lead Done
"Scottish" may be linked Done

Characterisation[edit]

"feminist" may be linked Done
authors of The Archers Archives opined "Archives, opined" Done

Marriage to David Archer[edit]

and were well suited Should it not be "well-suited"? Done

Breast cancer[edit]

I may be good to expand "GP" Done
Can "Chemotherapy" be linked? Done
her system would still contain toxic drugs Wouldn't "body" sound better than "system"? Done

Reception[edit]

While Rachel Cooke from the New Statesman was not a fan of the character at all, writing "Ruth bores me to sobs, so I didn't give a fig that this was out of character." I think "while" makes the sentence sound incomplete Done
The last two paras of "Near affair with Sam Batton" may be shifted to Reception, perhaps under a subsection. Done

In popular culture and other media[edit]

Can "Rwanda" be linked? Done

That should be all. These done, I would be glad to promote this. Sainsf <^>_{Feel at home} 06:52, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sainsf, I'm so sorry! I totally missed this. My watchlist has been a little crazy over the past few days and this slipped through the net. I'll start working on it ASAP. - JuneGloom07 Talk 15:53, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sainsf: Hi, I believe I've worked through all of the points you raised. Thank you for the review and your patience! - JuneGloom07 Talk 02:43, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
