GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

I always quite liked this one. Also of note: Billy Drago is the father of Darren E. Burrows, the bank robber in "Monday".

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   "who was found with the word "Theef" written on the wall in blood." -> I wouldn't capitalise the word here, just to help set it out from the episode title.
   Credit Morrison and Drago in the plot section.
   Kuru (which I don't think needs to be capitalised) isn't "ancient", it was first recorded by Westerners in the 1950s.
   Spell out "magnetic resonance imaging" rather than "MRI".
   I'm not keen on using "put her out of her misery" as a piped link, it's a little euphemistic. I'd have that sentence read "The doctor gave her an overdose of morphine, euthanizing her due to her pain."
   "Peattie's landlord sneaks into his apartment for pain medication and finds the body of Lynnette in his bed and immediately contracts a flesh-eating disease." -> Could probably split this into two sentences.
   Any particular reason to link to the remake of Cape Fear? Could just be me but I instantly think Mitchum and Peck when I hear that title".
   I stuck a {{sic}} template in a quote there, just make sure the source was definitely using "off" and not "of".
   You've got "Orell" and "Orel" as Drago's character's name, which spelling is used in the official guide?

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   MOS is fine.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

   Mostly grand; you just need to watch for using the right dashes in page/year ranges; they should be en dashes (–), not hyphens. Ref 8 need a publisher, too.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   Seems fine. If you're mentioning Morrison's stint on Space, it might be worth noting that Morgan and Wong wrote "Dead Letters", in which he gives probably one of the best guest roles in Millennium (short of fellow Morgan and Wong/X-Files alumni Tucker Smallwood in "Goodbye Charlie", Doug Hutchison in "The Beginning and the End" and Brad Dourif in "Force Majeure". I took a bit of a detour there, didn't I?).

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Grand

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   Aye, fine,

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Images are fine. I'd replace the use of "poignant" on the screenshot's rationale with "pertinent", as the former isn't correct in this case.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Not a lot to be seen to, shouldn't be long to get sorted. Holding this one for now. GRAPPLE X 22:16, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I believe I've addressed all the concerns. Thank you for reviewing this!--Gen. Quon (talk) 16:36, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
