I'll take this one, it has been sitting here for weeks! Most of my edits have been regarding Doctor Who, so I'm looking forward to reviewing this one. Expect remarks in 6-7 hours. - DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:52, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

It was simultaneously released on Disney+ in the United States on 7 June 2024 and on BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom on 8 June. It was also broadcast the same day on BBC One. → It was simultaneously released on BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom and Disney+ in the United States and everywhere else at 2300 UTC (US-7 June, UK-8 June). It was also later broadcast the same day on BBC One. Mention iPlayer and BBC One together and Disney+ after to make sentence less confusing Done

Plot

accidentally interrupts a love confession between her and another man. Ruby comforts Emily → bit confusing, add failed love confession or something better Done
believing him to be a Chuldur → believing him to be a Chuldur (because the Doctor is a shapeshifter) Done

Development

Ref-7: Redirects without subscription, remove or find a better reference —links to the episode itself Done

Filming

Reduce references in first line from 6 to 3-4 Done
Reduce ref in third line from 4 to 3 Done
Add ref from fifth line to fourth line as well, or turn them into one line. Done

Broadcast and Ratings

Reformat everything except the last line similar to the lead. Done
Add consolidated ratings as well as references of any upward/downward trend. Done

Critical Reception

Reformat the paragraphs: one about similarities to other shows or previous episodes; the second about the Chuldur and the rest of the episode Done
Expand the section, add a couple of lines from 2-3 of the reviews Done

References

Ref-7 as mentioned —links to the episode itself Done
Ref-14, 20, 21, 24: Not an issue, but replace with text sources wherever possible — no text sources Done
Ref-16: Looks like a fan-site, change (or delete) Done
Ref 18, 19, 38: There have been discussions about the reliability of CultBox, but most DW articles use it, so I'll leave it to you if you wanna change them or not — we'll see to it if it becomes a issue later on Done

Result

The article looks in good shape, just needs a few minor changes and slight expansion. Looks almost certain to pass, best of luck — DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 15:05, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will work on what's doable soon, but I do feel that a number of these aren't. Ref 7 for example, requiring a subscription is not a valid reason to remove or replace a source. That's why the field exists within {{Cite episode}}. This is a basic Wikipedia policy and can be seen at WP:PAYWALL, specifically the part that reads, "Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access. Some reliable sources are not easily accessible. For example, an online source may require payment [...]". Regarding your third point in the filming section, the number of lines a person views on any page can vary based on device, screen size, zoom, font size, and skin. This means that while you may see five lines, another person may experience six or four lines. The Good Article Criteria specifically state that content "must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph", a requirement which is met here. This one may be up for debate, but I'd also question if getting specific enough to mention the time and time zone that the episode release would be a violation of Wikipedia is not a TV guide. Four other articles from this season, as well as ones from numerous other seasons, have passed through the GAN process without requiring this information.

Okay, tell me what exactly ref-7 links to, and I'll take your word for it. If it's just the episode or something like that, then that's fine. By line, I meant from period to period, I should have made that clear. Yes, you can cite at the end of the paragraph, that's not what I brought it up; it was confusing if you forgot a reference or meant both sentences to have the same reference- every period in that section is followed by a reference other than that one, so it feels more like a forgotten reference. Yes, the article does't need a time or time slot, but the original sentences were a mess; mention BBC iPlayer and BBC One first and simultaneously in the US second, like the other four GA articles that you mention do(the ones from before weren't a UK-US co-production and only needed the UK release date).

The reviewing instructions say the reviewer can be bold and make some changes for minor issues, so I did. Expand ~~and reformat ratings and~~ critical reception and the article will be good enough to be a GA. See Boom (Doctor Who) for what length would be good.
