Review section

I am nominating this featured article for review because of the following issues:

Some of the citations do not appear to be reliable/have editorial oversight (IMDb, The Quatermass Home Page, Doctor Who Restoration Team, Mausoleum Club).
Viewership figures would benefit from footnotes.
Fn 15 and 21 lack page numbers.
The last sentence has no citation.
I don't know if a BBC DVD should be used to cite "Viewers' responses were generally positive" for a BBC program; how can this be a neutral source?
Are there any other newspapers/magazines from the time period that can be used to cite/add stuff that are now available online?

The article has 24 cn tags. Desertarun (talk) 20:09, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Quatermass Home Page is an interview with the guy who created the show, so that's probably fine. Doctor Who Restoration Team was given a (weak) vote of sorta-confidence at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Quatermass and the Pit/archive1. Will try to look at the other sourcing issues soon.

Problems I found

Removed a [citation needed]-tagged sentence from the intro, as it was info not expanded on in the body.
Is Screen Online an RS?
Removed "Quatermass Homepage", an archive of a geocities fansite.
[Citation needed]s all over the place, including "Other Media".
Lots of choppy one-sentence paragraphs, including "Production" and "Other Media".
Viewership numbers in the "Episodes" table are unsourced. I also think this should be converted to text, as a table is a lot for only six episodes and it disrupts the flow.
"Mausoleum Club" link was 404, and this appears to have been a web forum so I don't think it was a RS to begin with
Is Digital Fix an RS?

I think the Geocities source may be a WP:SPS that meets reliability (if it's the same one we checked last time through), but nonetheless, per the other issues raised, Move to FARC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I noted above, the Geocities page was actually fine here as a WP:SPS interview with the series writer, but this needs substantive work across the board, so move to FARC. Hog Farm _Talk 20:10, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
