Will get to this shortly. Glimmer721 ^talk 03:01, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

The lead is too short; it seems all X-Files GA episode articles have at least two paragraphs.
The link to the episode "Orison" in the lead redirects to The X-Files (season 7)--isn't there a more specific link to a portion of that article?
- Drive-by comment - not yet. There will be, though, as one of the things I'm working on for the project is article creation. GRAPPLE X 01:49, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
A lot of overlinking in the plot section: funeral, funeral home, cemetary, profile, wreaths, hallucinations, counseling, fingerprint, refrigerator, closet, foyer, narration, evil.
Throughout the first paragraph of the "Plot" section the character is referred to as "Donnie", but for the rest he is "Pfaster". Be consistant. (I would use "Pfaster").
Whos is Cris Carter? (give his title, such as "showrunner" or "episode writer")
"Dana Scully" and "Gillan Anderson" should not be linked again the the production section, and she should only be referred to by her last name as she has been.
Who is Joe College? There isn't an article for him, but the sentence does not make sense if we don't know who he is. (Apparently someone not scary)
The production section seems to be a lot of quotes preceeded by "[so-and-so] said/stated..." A little varity is needed, and maybe less quotes/more paraphrasing.
Link Duane Barry
Explain that Millenium is a TV series.
In the "Reception" section it says "Nick Chinlund as Donny Pfaster"...change this to "Chinlund as Pfaster" as he does not need to be reintroduced.
Link "Monster-of-the-Week" in "Reception" section? ([List of Monster-of-the-Week characters in The X-Files]]).

I will place this on hold while these issues are fixed. Glimmer721 ^talk 01:43, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not the nominator, but when I drove-by this review I figured I'd fix some of the issues. I've gotten round to everything other than the use of "X said..." in the production heading, might give that a bash tonight. As for "Joe College", it's not a character - that's a sort of figure of speech. "Joe X" is a way of saying "your average X-type person", like "Joe Public" or "Joe Politician". So "Joe College" is just some college student. GRAPPLE X 02:23, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for stoppin by. What I actually meant for the "Orison" link was if there was a way to link it directly to its portion on the episode table of the season 7 article. Glimmer721 ^talk 17:29, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Got it to point to the episode in question in the season article's list of episodes, if that's what you were after. GRAPPLE X 03:13, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed the little things that were left and I'm going to go ahead and pass this. Great work! Glimmer721 ^talk 17:21, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
