Review

Overall
Lead
  • Lead is pretty well, but second paragraph may be too long; consider splitting into two.

I split the second into two and beefed the last one up a bit. I feel the prose of the first sentence is a little clunky, though.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:24, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Me too. I don't fell that:
  • "Volume 3 of The X-Files Mythology collection is a DVD release containing selected episodes from the fifth to the eighth seasons of the American science fiction television series The X-Files."
could be a correct introduction. Maybe:
  • "The X-Files Mythology - Volume 3 is the third released DVD collection containing selected episodes from the fifth to the eighth seasons of the American science fiction television series The X-Files."
can do it better. —Hahc21 04:45, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
How's that?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 15:48, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Ok. Fixed. —Hahc21 16:25, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Plot, Background, Reception, Episodes
  • Those sections are Ok. I went and made some minor edits to polish the text and remove redundancies, double wording, etc.
Special features
  • This section needs a ref. Maybe the lines notes from the DVD? IDK.
Footnotes, External links
  • Good.

Please add the ref on special features (or answer with the reason why its needless) to finish the review and pass the article. —Hahc21 20:37, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the review. I went and added a DVD citation for the special features. How's that?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:18, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Great! I enjoyed reading the article. It's well written, broad and focused, properly referenced with inline citations, it meets all MoS guides included on GAC, no edit wars on it, no original research (from what I can verify), it's properly illustrated with images (because they exist). So, passed XD —Hahc21 21:26, 23 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
