Hello, Aoba47. This is fine. Just one tiny fix needed which I've done. I was a little concerned when I saw IMDb but it isn't a direct reference so it's okay – I like IMDb but I agree with WP that it's unreliable. The article is a very thorough examination of the episode, so certainly broad in coverage. It's well written and fully sourced with no problems.

I used to watch Voyager every week when it was new but I don't recall this episode at all so perhaps it was one I missed. Anyway, it's definitely a good article and I think it has the potential for an FA nomination. Please let me know if you decide to take it to FAC. Well done. All the best and keep safe.

• @No Great Shaker: Thank you for the review and your kind words. I can understand the concern about having IMDb on a Wikipedia page. In fact, the practice of including IMDb (and other sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic) is currently under discussion here. You may find that discussion interesting. I do intend to take this to the FAC sometime in the near future, and I will let you know when I do. Considering how this episode was universally hated, it may have been a good thing you missed it lol. Thank you again, and have a great rest of your week! Aoba47 (talk) 08:13, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
