  • @BuySomeApples: Finally :) and a deserving article for GA, congrats! I wanted to help out with this one, but I've just had far too much on my plate. Glad to see you wrap this up! Article is new enough and long enough, but I have some concerns about sourcing that I'm sure you can talk me through: Looks like Looper.com (not the best), Vice ("no consensus" at WP:RSP), Inverse (part of Bustle Digital Group), Distractify, and Bleeding Cool News And Rumors + Den of Geek are all used in the article for claims of various levels of controversialness. Other than that, the article does seem neutral, all the hooks are cited and interesting (ALT0a proposed and preferred), and a QPQ has been done, so this should be a walk in the park. Great work so far! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 05:20, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
    • Thanks for reviewing this @Theleekycauldron:! I removed Looper (that shouldn't have stayed in anyway). The rest of the sources I think are fine for what they are. It looks like a lot of the Vice RSP's are about using it as a source for political/medical/BLP topics, but that consensus is that it's fine for pop culture. In this case, I think it's fine because the Vice piece is an interview with people who worked on the show, so it's kind of a primary source for how they felt about production (and its attributed to the individuals interviewed). Den of Geek, Bleeding Cool and Distractify are fine for episode reviews/recaps imo, which is why I don't mind using them to source plot developments + identify voice actors but I'd be willing to remove these if you're unsure about them. The same for Inverse. I tried to only use reliable sources for critical reactions/more controversial opinions. BuySomeApples (talk) 06:36, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
    • As a side note, I'm really glad with how this came together. I was lucky to have really helpful reviewers both times, otherwise it would have been a slog. I'm probably gonna work on some other AT related pages next, probably Ice King or the character's list. BuySomeApples (talk) 06:40, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
      • looks better now! I like to use source quality as an indicator of what information needs to be included (even for fictional/basic stuff), but totally cool if that's not your thing. For DYK purposes, we're good to go! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 05:55, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
          • Thanks! Normally I do the same, but for GA I had to find citations all of the VAs mentioned (which was way harder than I expected). A lot of reviews just mention the VAs involved but don't specifically say which characters they voice, which is annoying. Technically, the plot can be cited to the episodes but I figured better to have the recaps there if someone needed them. BuySomeApples (talk) 01:12, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
