GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Never heard of Sanctuary, but my younger self religiously tuned in to SG1 for Amanda Tapping...

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    Just a few changes needed
    "The character is over a century and a half old, having been given her advanced longevity from injecting herself with vampire blood." -> should be "by injecting herself"
    "This allowed each member unique abilities." -> Probably should be "granted each member"
    "By the turn of the 20th century, her research with the abnormal population went into full swing and founded the Sanctuary Network." -> "and she founded..."
    "during which she decided to use the embryo an bear her daughter" -> "use the embryo to bear her daughter"
    "Despite this, Magnus believes her life energy might be in the shield buffer." -> I'm not really sure what this means.
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
    MOS is fine.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
    Citations are grand.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
    Scope is grand.
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    Article is neutral.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
    Images are used well. One is commons, one is fair-use with a solid rationale.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Just going to hold this until the 1A fixes are sorted, then it should be ready to pass.
Thanks for taking the time to review the article. I believed I have addressed all the issues. -- Matthew RD 16:26, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy

[edit]

(I hope I'm entering this correctly.)

Was Helen Magnus really born in 1850? How about 1950?

Having read the article during my review, it states she was born in Victorian-era England and has extended her lifespan with vampire blood. She is a fictional character from a fantasy show, after all. GRAPPLE X 15:33, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That is correct, also she said she is over 157 years old since the show's pilot. -- Matthew RD 17:03, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From the article: "In the second season her daughter, Ashley was killed off. The producers, as well as the American and Canadian networks to give the character, including Magnus, a deep and most dramatic impact." The second sentence is ill-formed and likely missing a word or two, but I have no idea what was intended. Can anyone correct this, please? 98.207.166.2 98.207.166.2 (talk) 03:27, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
