I'll be the reviewer for this one. It might take a couple of days to get all the points listed as well... this is the big one for the X Files WikiProject, isn't it? I'm quite thankful that Star Trek is already a GA, but I'm sure this must have been quite daunting to work on as I feel the same way about working up Star Trek: The Next Generation. I'll have a look to see if there are some similar articles at GA that I can compare it to and then start posting points here. Miyagawa (talk) 11:35, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'll have to leave this till the weekend to properly review. Miyagawa (talk) 22:35, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All references check out for reliability, and also the formatting is great. I can't fault them at all.
You might want to run it through a duplicate link check, my checker finds six duplicated links.
Mythology: "using a sentient virus, known as the black oil" - should it just be "black oil" rather than "the black oil"?
Opening sequence: The Emmy Award, was it the show's first Emmy Award, or the first for the intro sequence (as in, it won multiple Emmys for this)? Because at the moment I'm reading it as the latter, but I think it should be the former.

Well. I have to be honest, I was expecting to have more issues with this (not because of your work, but because of of the size of the article) but it is a really good article. 99.9% of the prose is excellent, and I don't think you'd have a great deal of trouble taking this further onto FA. This is a good model of what to expect in a television series main article for a show that ran that long. Miyagawa (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the issues you have mentioned above. I also added a new section about spin-offs/comic books, since that is big in the news right now (I use the term "big" in kind of a loose way).--Gen. Quon (Talk) 01:14, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well I am pleased to say that in my opinion this now meets the Good Article requirements, and I honestly think that if I get any of the Star Trek series articles to a state of half as good as this, then I'd be quite proud of myself. Very nicely done. The prose really is very engaging. Miyagawa (talk) 09:32, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
