  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:

This article needs to be improved a bit to pass as a GA. Here's the reasons:

  • References: The article needs more. There's only 11, and the article needs more to pass.
Needs to be done? Yes
  • Images: The article has No images, making it impossible for the article to pass. There are plenty out there, just remember to add a fair-use rationale and caption to them when you add them.
Needs to be done? Yes
  • Cast: This section is very lacking. Turning this section to look like this:

Don Terry as Larry Kent, a reporter investigating the disappearance of a colleague in the area. it'll be much better.

Needs to be done? Optional

Closing thoughts: The article is good, despite being quite bare-boned in most sections. After the above problems are fixed, the article can pass. Limetolime (talk) 22:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Response to above

Okay, will take a detailed look at this review and respond to it later, thank you for doing it. Cirt (talk) 22:43, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Changed the Cast section, per above comment by Limetolime (talk · contribs), will flesh that out a bit more soon. Cirt (talk) 10:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Added a low res, fair use image, screenshot from the serial. Cirt (talk) 10:36, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  3. I'm going to add a bit more from one or two other sources, but I really don't think the article needs more references simply for having more references' sake - that is not what is meant at WP:WIAGA - simply that the material presently in the article should be backed up to WP:RS/WP:V sources. If it is, then it satisfies the referencing criteria. Cirt (talk) 00:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Update: Added 2 additional References into a Further reading section, until they can be incorporated into the article. Cirt (talk) 06:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA fail

[edit]

I'm VERY sorry to say this, but the article cannot pass. It isn't written well, as it has choppy sentences, and the info isn't very helpful. (Running time = 15 chapters)? It also dosen't have a release section and the reception section needs to be expanded. After the article is re-written and these problems are fixed, it can be relisted. Limetolime talk to me look what I did! 22:06, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
