Will be doing this. After a quick cursory glance, I saw the lead doesn't provide a brief overview of the Production section—a sentence or two should be written about it somewhere in that section, maybe in the third paragraph as its opening sentence. That's the only preliminary thoughts I have; I'll get back to you for more issues. Patience, Slightly mad 02:27, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! I've added some text regarding the schedule delays in the first paragraph, as it seemed more fitting to me (diff). -- Radiphus 05:49, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lead: I did a copyedit as I read along. However, could you find an alternative for "put to the test"? It's idiomatic and it strikes me a bit in-universe. Patience, Slightly mad 02:44, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced "put to the test" with "tested" (diff). -- Radiphus 05:49, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Episodes: I'd like to bring your attention over MOS:N'T, where it states that contractions must be avoided in encylopedic writing as it may be viewed to be colloquial. That said, I fixed some of these already. However, in the episode two block, could you fix "Mad Max-esque" into something more encyclopedic?

Thanks for helping with copyediting as well. I've replaced "Mad Max-esque" with "post-apocalyptic" (diff). -- Radiphus 07:17, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Production:

I think the following sentences could be copyedited for grammar and clarity:

Carbiener explained that she had to "learn how to come up with a lot of story, fast, and how to make it all turn and tie up right," because a story that for other shows would have been an entire episode, for Rick and Morty it will be only its first few minutes.
As the bar rises higher, work becomes harder, improvements are constantly being sought, and this often results in delays. Patience, Slightly mad 07:07, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Radiphus, dunno if you didn't realize, but I was hoping you'd do this. Patience, Slightly mad 07:48, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that, but i am too busy to work on that at the moment. Please keep posting more issues here and i'll deal with them when i have some free time. -- Radiphus 07:59, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm done performing spot-checks of the sources for content accuracy. Just fix the issues written atop your reply and provide citations to the explanatory notes. I will pass the review once these have been resolved. Patience, Slightly mad 04:25, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've rephrased Carbiener's comments in my own words for the first one, and i've changed into past tense for the second one (diff). -- Radiphus 05:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've also provided citations to the explanatory notes (diff). -- Radiphus 05:55, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, it's a pass! You may be interested in nominating the article for WP:DYK as it's a newly-promoted GA; more information can be read at that page. Patience, Slightly mad 06:01, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! -- Radiphus 06:14, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
