Just adding a quick note to say I'll conduct the review on this article later today. However, if you want to start somewhere before then, then you might want to address the comment added onto the talk page yesterday if you haven't already done so. Miyagawa (talk) 13:10, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'm back. Sorry about the delay, didn't get around to it last night.

I've run through the standard dashboard tools and it's highlighted that the Boston Herald reference (#24 is a dead link).

I was not able to find a link to the Boston Herald article despite several attempts, so I replaced it with a HitFix article.

Lead: In the second sentence of the second paragraph, IronE Singleton is referred to by his surname alone. As unlike Callies, this is the first time he's been mentioned in the article, he should be listed by his first name. Alternatively you could work out a way to say his name earlier alongside his character so that then you don't have to repeat that in the plot section.

Done.

Plot: As you've already placed the actors names alongside the characters for Michonne, the Governor, Andrea and Lori in the lead, you don't need to repeat that in the plot section too.

Done.

Ratings: ""Killer Within" acquired a 4.9 rating in the 18–49 demographic, indicating that 4.9 percent of adults in the 18–49 demographic watching television tuned into the program." - needs to have the second half of the sentence removed as the demographic ratings doesn't quite work in this way (it's based on the total number of televisions rather than the total number of people using television at the time).

Done.

I can't see anything else sticking out, but the only thing else comes to mind for the themes section is this: was there any sources comparing Lori's death in the episode to how she died in the comic books? I'm just wondering because although the central theme of the episode is death, in the comics the baby is also killed after Lori gives birth and so I thought it might be something interesting to add. However of course, if no such comparison exists in a source then don't worry about it. Basically once those points highlighted above are sorted out, this one should be good to go for GA.

I believe there should be at least one article comparing the two. I'll check it out. —DAP388 (talk) 20:08, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any further updates on that last point? Wizardman 17:48, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's been another two weeks. Where does this stand now? BlueMoonset (talk) 02:49, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give the nominator another week before I look at closing it. Of course if no such source exists for what I've suggested, then the article is good to go. Miyagawa (talk) 10:03, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know I said I'd give a week, but I just did a check and have found that the article has actually moved in the wrong direction since my initial review. As such, I'm closing the nomination now as a fail. In addition to the point above, the lead needs to be more inclusive - it was better before an editor tried to trim it back. There's numerous episodic articles that already meet the GA criteria, so best to take a look at some recent ones and base the structure on those. Miyagawa (talk) 14:10, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
