Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   The CW officially renewed One Tree Hill for an eighth season on May 18, 2010, with a 13-episode order. The season premiered on September 14, 2010 and airs in its new timeslot, Tuesdays at 8/7c. After successful ratings for the early episodes of the season, the network ordered a back-order of nine episodes, bringing the total episode count to 22. Inconsistency in tenses.

   Season 8 features the return of the original opening credits and the original opening theme song "I Don't Want to Be" covered by various artists each week, while the original version is featured sporadically. Schwahn wrote 13 out of the 22 episodes, including the final 6 episodes of the season. This should surely be all past tense. Schawhn should be wikilinked or at least explained.

   After being shot and left for dead by the Katie Ryan, both Clay and Quinn fight for their lives while they have an out of body experience of being at the beach. oh really this is illiterate. Quickfail on grounds of extremely poor prose, get it copy-edited into good plain English, get a peer review an then consider renominating. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Quickfail on grounds of illiterate prose. And the fact that lists do not qualify for GAN. Jezhotwells (talk) 00:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
