Will review this shortly. MathewTownsend (talk) 19:38, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
GA review-see WP:WIAGA for criteria (and here for what they are not)
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose: clear and concise, correct spelling and grammar:
- "which confirms that his DNA is a match" - not clear what it is a match to - won't his DNA be found in his hotel room anyway?
- "new show runner" - what is a show runner?
- "the case was shaken" - could you reword this? - not encyclopedic wording.
- "candidacy was derailed. " - to close to source - I added "presidential" - but find another word than "derailed"
- "but what it really lacked was the back-and-forth between Benson and Stabler." - what does this mean? - the source explains a little more and this would explain some of the dynamics normally in the show.
- B. Complies with MoS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- Should mention in lede the real world events, as these received a great deal of publicity and the plot of the show is largely driven by it.
- A. Prose: clear and concise, correct spelling and grammar:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. Provides references to all sources:
- B. Provides in-line citations from reliable sources where necessary:
- C. No original research:
- "thought that the mixed verdict was disappointing" - this seems to misrepresent the NYTimes review which said "It was disappointing in dramatic terms but understandable, when the result was a mixed verdict."
- A. Provides references to all sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Main aspects are addressed:
- article could have said more about the representation of a rape case in prime time TV, as discussed in sources
- Could explain more about the dynamics between characters in show (see above)
- Also, there is some discussion in the sources about whether this show is becoming "stale" and what the introduction of new characters are aiming to accomplish.
- B. Remains focused:
- Det. Nick Amaro (absent) - why is he mentioned in the Cast if he isn't in the episode?
- "Neal Baer, who departed after getting a three-year deal at CBS and went on to serve as an executive producer on the Susannah Grant created CBS medical drama, A Gifted Man." - isn't this a little off topic?
- A. Main aspects are addressed:
- Does it follow the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- No images
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- No images
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- Pass or Fail:
- The article is off to a good start. It just needs some filling in and clarification. I have made some edits[1] but you are free to revert. Please feel free to contact me with questions or feedback. Meanwhile, I'll put it on hold. Best, MathewTownsend (talk) 22:25, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
