The Quatermass Experiment[edit]

Notified: User: Angmering, User Heartfox,WikiProject BBC, British television task force, talk notice 2023-01-26

Review section[edit]

I am nominating this featured article for review because of the following issues:

  • Some of the citations do not appear to be reliable/have editorial oversight (IMDb, The Quatermass Home Page, Doctor Who Restoration Team, Mausoleum Club).
  • Viewership figures would benefit from footnotes.
  • Fn 15 and 21 lack page numbers.
  • The last sentence has no citation.
  • I don't know if a BBC DVD should be used to cite "Viewers' responses were generally positive" for a BBC program; how can this be a neutral source?
  • Are there any other newspapers/magazines from the time period that can be used to cite/add stuff that are now available online?
Problems I found
  • Removed a [citation needed]-tagged sentence from the intro, as it was info not expanded on in the body.
  • Is Screen Online an RS?
  • Removed "Quatermass Homepage", an archive of a geocities fansite.
  • [Citation needed]s all over the place, including "Other Media".
  • Lots of choppy one-sentence paragraphs, including "Production" and "Other Media".
  • Viewership numbers in the "Episodes" table are unsourced. I also think this should be converted to text, as a table is a lot for only six episodes and it disrupts the flow.
  • "Mausoleum Club" link was 404, and this appears to have been a web forum so I don't think it was a RS to begin with
  • Is Digital Fix an RS?

I think the Geocities source may be a WP:SPS that meets reliability (if it's the same one we checked last time through), but nonetheless, per the other issues raised, Move to FARC. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I noted above, the Geocities page was actually fine here as a WP:SPS interview with the series writer, but this needs substantive work across the board, so move to FARC. Hog Farm Talk 20:10, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
