Ruhrfisch comments: This is a show I saw a few times. I think it needs a fair amount of work before it is ready for FLC, so here are some suggestions for improvement.

  • The lead does not really follow WP:LEAD. The second paragraph is too short (one sentence) and the lead does not mention that the fourth season aired on the USA network.
  • The lead also switches tense between past and present - I would pick one (probably past since the series is over) and stick with it
  • Could the caption for the image identify the characters / actors shown too?
  • Biggest problem I see are references - the article needs many more refs for FLC. For example none of the season intro sections has any refs. My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref. See WP:CITE and WP:V
  • Internet refs need URL, title, author if known, publisher and date accessed. {{cite web}} and other cite templates may be helpful. For example, this ref is published by airwolf.tv-series.com, but the ref says it is from USA network (USA seems to be the original author - how do we know this is an accurate copy / reliable source)?
  • Why is Amazon.com a reliable source?
  • Be consistent - is it "the F.I.R.M" or "The F.I.R.M." or "the FIRM" or "The FIRM" (all seem to be used).
  • Episode summaries vary considerably in length, from less than a full line (end of season four) to five or six lines in places. Per WP:WEIGHT I think they should be close to the same length, though the pilot or special episodes like the first for season 4 could be longer.
  • The Series # / Season # is confusing in Season 1 (the pilot is episode zero??)
  • Prose is decent but could use a copyedit in places to polish rough spots / tighten things up.

Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:07, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
