Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 18:53, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

Improve the non-free use rationale of the logo with this template.
Add a serial comma after "AT&T U-verse".
With that, the lead looks good.

History

Remove the comma after "(channel 3)".
Add a comma after "older movies".
Also add a comma after Tennessee.
"5:30pm" → "5:30 pm"
I don't think "preempter" is an actual word.
The paragraph starting with "From 1995 to 2003" needs sources.
"Boylan, longtime" → "Boylan, a longtime"
Add a serial comma after Colleen Odegaard.

Digital television

This section looks good.

News operation

Remove the comma after "fall of 1982".

Left this one in, as it links two separate sentences.

#Notable_current_on-air_staff need references.
Same thing for people in #Notable_former_on-air_staff.

Done for both. Removed one where I could not get a quality reference.

References

Only a few references need to be archived.

Having trouble getting the Internet Archive to not time out when archiving the history cards, likely because the file size is quite large on these scans. One reference appears to be straight up dead and was never archived, so I had to substitute another. Every other reference should be archived.

Optional, but linking websites through "|website=" is helpful for readers.

Progress

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

@Some Dude From North Carolina: Addressed all the raised issues. Two things I did not do: one comma that I thought belonged in the sentence and the History Cards that are just so big the Archive is balking at archiving them. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:34, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
