GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
Never reviewed a Doctor Who episode before. The revival really put me off the whole franchise. :(
- Is it reasonably well written?
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- C. No original research:
- I'm pretty iffy about refs 20, 21 and 22. They're only citing the fact that the episode was on the relevant releases, so it'd be better to source that to the liner notes for those releases than to an external site which could be seen as advertising a product for purchase. {{Cite DVD-notes}} would work perfectly for that.
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- B. Focused:
- Not a problem.
- A. Major aspects:
- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Seems fair to me.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- History is uncontroversial.
- 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:
- B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
- Images are grand. One free, one with a solid rationale.
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- Just gonna hold this one for now - I'd fix the citation thing myself but I'm not familiar with the series. If you don't actually own any of those releases then I could probably piece it together for you. GRAPPLE X 00:22, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Pass or Fail:
- Thanks for the review! I'm not quite sure what to do about changing the ref; I own the complete season DVD (Region 1, though; not sure if it's different) and the closest thing to liner notes is the cardboard fold-out that contains a blurb by Moffat with a list of the episodes and special features on each disc. As the three-episode release is "vanilla" with no special features or anything, I'm not even sure if it has liner notes or a booklet. Glimmer721 talk 17:42, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- I would personally consider "liner notes" to include the back of the box too, which I assume lists the episodes. Looking at the series, the full-season DVD and Blu-ray could be cited as follows:
- Tweak that slightly for the smaller release by simply changing the title, and if no article is relevant to the release, removing the titlelink parameter. GRAPPLE X 18:35, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. Think I got it done! Glimmer721 talk 20:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- I was thinking, though...will the liner notes be able to cite when the DVDs came out? Glimmer721 talk 17:27, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think so. I've seen some with the dates given in terms of the copyright information. If it turns out to be a problem, there's always the option of citing reviews of the DVD (for instance, DVD Talk is considered reliable) but I don't see anything wrong with it. Sorry for the delay, was away for the weekend. I think this is ready to pass now. Well done! GRAPPLE X 14:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
