general

checklinks

all good!

image review

All good. Licensing info for both checks out.

references

Ideally, you should use publisher fields in the "cite" templates, but it's more a FA than a GA issue. For example, The Irish Times is published by The Irish Times Trust, the Sunday Tribune by Tribune Newspapers. Something to think about if you were to take it further.

Not going for FA, so am going to leave it. Thanks — Cargoking talk 13:23, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

specific

lead

I'm concerned it doesn't summarise the contents of the main body- it should just cover the main points and most (if not all) of its content should also be in the body. Think of it as the whole article reduced to 2 or 3 paragraphs.

Done — Cargoking talk 13:13, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

format

This needs things like producers, the host and a lot of the stuff from the infobox (most of whose contents should be somewhere in the body as well)

Done — Cargoking talk 13:13, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give examples and references for "one-on-one interviews with key political and social figures as well as specially themed shows"?

Done examples and a refs — Cargoking talk 12:40, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

history

Twitter is not a reliable source. (ref note 17) ^[1]

^ "RTÉ Frontline". Twitter. Retrieved 2009-09-12.

Done removed — Cargoking talk 12:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be more specific than "autumn 2009"?

When he left The Late Late Show, he said he would be doing something in the 'autumn'. "By the time of presenting his last programme, it was announced a new current affairs programme would begin in autumn 2009.[18]" I have added the date after it. — Cargoking talk 12:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What does "O'Brien has a previous conviction from 2006 for incitement to hatred.[25]" have to do with The Frontline?

I've moved the hate speech up to his name 'Alan O'Brien (who has a conviction from 2006 for incitement to hatred[23])' — Cargoking talk 12:52, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can anything more be added to the ratings info- perhaps giving it a separate section?

Done ish There aren't a lot rating info available, so I moved one from below up. I've also created a sub-section. — Cargoking talk 13:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

Are there any not-so-positive reviews?

Done — Cargoking talk 13:22, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It says "Most reviewers said" but there's only one ref

Done changed to 'The two reviewers said' — Cargoking talk 12:40, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy with that. normally I'd like to see more information on things like episode numbers, ratings, possible impact on Irish Politics (like that of Question Time on British politics) but, with it being relatively new, I suppose it's still establishing itself and this can easily be added later on. All in all, good work- don't stop just because you've got GA status (yes, I'm passign it!)! HJMitchell You rang? 14:21, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
