It is factually accurate and verifiable.

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

Pass/Fail:

Comments

FOX -> Fox network
- Fixed
A lot of "It was..." in the lead; try changing it up a bit
- Fixed
Plot is waaaay too long
- Shortened. If there's anything you think it could lose on top of what I've trimmed, let me know.
1X06: Are you sure that's the correct production code?
- Yep. The pilot was 1x79, so all the other episodes of the first season have a production code one less than their number in broadcast order.
Any DVD special features on episode?
- None - it's not even mentioned in the season overview documentary either. :(
Make clear Nielsen ratings refers to US, not UK
- Fixed.
Critical reception needs expanding
- Beefed out the quotations and the like to expand the section.
"Keith Phipps, writing for The A.V. Club, was more favourable to the episode, rating it a B-, feeling that the similarities to 2001: A Space Odyssey and Demon Seed were effective, adding however, that although the plot worked well, it had dated poorly.[12]" Split into two sentences
- Done.
Fix titles in refs 11-13 (no need to have EW.com etc in them; just use article title)
- Fixed.
Not sure how good the justification is for the screenshot; make more clear in image caption of its importance (such as the COS was criticized by critics...) or something else signifying its significance. Otherwise it may need to be removed and deleted.
- Done. If more work needs done for this, let me know.

I believe the above issues should take less than a week to address, so I'll place the review on hold for seven days. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 18:04, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking the time to review this article. I believe I've addressed the points you've raised, though I'll be about for a good while if you have any further concerns. Thanks again! GRAPPLE X 23:07, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Before I pass it, you need to do one more thing: the rationale you added to the screenshot should also be added to the infobox caption to ensure it is needed (this will also be helpful for the reader). Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 00:59, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this okay? It goes to three lines, I don't know if that's too much or not. GRAPPLE X 01:10, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great. Pass for GA. Nice work, and keep 'em coming! Ruby2010 comment! 01:14, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. I've left some comments at Talk:The Lie (Lost)/GA1 as well if you've not seen yet. GRAPPLE X 01:23, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
