Thanks for picking up the review! liquidluck✽talk 02:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Broken

Dead links:
(11) Exclusive: Gossip Girl Spin-Off Details Revealed! [starmagazine.com];
(22) Exclusive: Brittany Snow's the New Gossip Girl [starmagazine.com]

Both links are working 11, 22, but Reftools doesn't seem to catch them. liquidluck✽talk 02:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm getting dead links when I try manually (both as I write and when the tool was used). Even starmagazine.com is simply giving me the message "Page unavailable/under construction." - AdamBMorgan (talk) 17:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suspicious (probably dead):
(15) Primetime Pilot Panic: New CW Hot List; Yes To 'Melrose Place', No To 'Gossip Girl' Spinoff, Maybe To 'Vampire Diaries' [deadline.com]

Fixed. liquidluck✽talk 02:36, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indeterminate

Status (Uncategorized redirects):
(4) 'Gossip Girl' spin-off pilot is a go! [hollywoodinsider.ew.com] (Redirect perserves id number )
(19) CW Upfront: Is Lily Dead or What? [eonline.com] (Changes sub-domain)
(23) Gossip Girl Spinoff: Meet the Cast of the CW's Lily [eonline.com] (Changes sub-domain)
(40) Q&A: Josh Schwartz [thrfeed.com] (Changes domain)
(3) In the Year of Melrose Place, CW Boss Talks Spinoffs, Crossovers, Remakes and Dead Pilots [eonline.com] (Changes sub-domain)

All appear to be working, but I can archive them if need be. liquidluck✽talk 02:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about it. Archive if you want to but I think it is just the program being over-sensitive. The links work but there are re-directs working on the respective websites. Some of this might be my location, although I don't know if that would affect the tool; for example, the link www.eonline.com becomes uk.eonline.com when I view it. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 17:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Working

Warn (Registration (access issue)):

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality:
At the end of the subsection "Fashion and music" there is the emboldened phrase "Featured music" with a reference. This seems to be left over from this revision but I wanted to check if it was meant to be there before removing it. The reference given doesn't seem to match the information in the revision or justify the phrase as it is now. Otherwise, everthing is fine. Everything is fine now.

B. MoS compliance:
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources:

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
I'm still checking these. There seem to be some blogs (not normally allowed) in here but I will get to that when I'm done.
OK, Ryanseacrest.com is definitely a blog and not acceptable as a reference. I almost labelled TheFrisky.com as a blog as well but it has editorial oversight so I was wrong on that one. TheFutonCritic.com is a little suspect as it looks like a blog but it contains no opinion based content so it shouldn't be a problem; the same goes for one or two others. Starmagazine.com continues to be a dead link regardless of which computer I use or the day I try to access it.

In summary: ryanseacrest.com (#31) and starmagazine.com (#11 & #22) appear to be the only problems. If you please either justify or remove these references then everything will be fine.
Solved, see below.

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:

B. Focused:
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
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:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
~~Interim review results. Overall pass or fail still depends on 1 and 2~~.

Thanks for the review. I've removed the Ryan Seacrest blog as it was a back-up. The music is referenced on the site linked, but you have to click a few buttons first; Beneath the video, you must click "choose your episode", then "Valley Girls", and then the music appears in the box below the video. The Star magazine links still work for me (maybe it is only available in the US?), but I'll archive them. Webcite was down yesterday and today, so I'll try again tomorrow. If it doesn't work again, I'll remove the refs. liquidluck✽talk 23:11, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take your word for the Star magazine links so, with the other problems resolved, this article has passed. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 11:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
