GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

• Per WP:LEADLENGTH, I'd recommend shortening the lead to two paragraphs.

• Now two paragraphs. Ruby 2010/2013 02:28, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

• The screenshot in the infobox has no rationale for inclusion beyond being low resolution etc.; consult {{Non-free television screenshot}}.

• Yeah, I was waiting to hear feedback from others in the eventual GA review and agree it does not fit within WP image policy. I've removed it (so it will soon be deleted for not being used in any article). Ruby 2010/2013 02:28, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

• Had a brain fart for a second there... I understand that "Kim initially auditioned for the role of Kate" is referring to Yunjin Kim, but I'd recommend writing the full name out for clarity.

• Done (I can see how it is easy to mix that up! I added her full name to a few other areas as well for clarity). Ruby 2010/2013 02:28, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Entertaining read. A few things, but otherwise nicely done. The whole bees thing would make for a good DYK entry. 23W 03:16, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much for taking this one on! I will address your comments shortly. Ruby 2010/2013 02:55, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome; figured you would, having to wait four months. ;) 23W 03:18, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

• Yeah, I was definitely not expecting a four month wait! The backlog is worse than ever. Thanks again for taking the time for this! Please let me know if there is anything else (who knows, maybe this one will become my first GA DYK? -- I hadn't considered doing that but your comment gives me some ideas...).

• Much better. I think it'd make for a funny hook; perhaps I can nominate it. We haven't had any Lost hooks for a while, if the archives are any indicator. Pass! 23W 03:06, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

• Yes, by all means feel free to nominate it if you choose! Otherwise I might if you don't within the next week. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 03:15, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
