WP:LEAD
Series overview
  • This section should either be unsourced and treated as a plot overview section or the majority of the paragraph that is unsourced should be sourced.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cast and characters
  • I am not entirely comfortable with some of the POV adjectives in this unsourced section. However, I know the rules are a bit different for the cast section.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:45, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Episodes
  • This section should expand on the content from the LEAD about when seasons were picked up. It should also, state how many episodes were in the season. Maybe merge this with the Home Media section, adding detail about the beginning and ending episode dates for each season.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:45, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Production
  • It seems that there are an unnatural number of subsections. I would merge some of these together. Do we need a separate subsection for Scorcese's involvement. Move that into development. Not sure Crew should be its own section either.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:48, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Review checklist[edit]

Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Not the greatest prose, but adequate.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. Many links are redundant (See WP:REPEATLINK). When names appear multiple times, only the last name should appear after the first introduction. Two sections have no inline citations.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline. Inline citation needed for all facts. Some sections of facts have no citations currently.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). Inline citation needed for all facts. Some sections of facts have no citations currently.
2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. WP:LEAD could use some work.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content. Scorsese image should have {{personality}}. The FUR should include an enumeration of rationales, like the infobox image does. The infobox image should have the FUR template like Scorsese's image does.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions. WP:CAPTIONs should include links. Infobox image is uncaptioned.
7. Overall assessment. This article can pass with some work. I will check back in 7 days.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:16, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
