 * I'll be reviewing.  TRLIJC19   (  talk  ) 23:30, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

I'm going to read through the article and list any existent issues below. But at a first glance, it looks like a generally well written piece. TRLIJC19  (  talk  ) 00:12, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Issues

 * Reference production codes on the table of episodes.
 * ✅ Removing them because they aren't important and are each used in the episode articles.


 * Add more to development history if more information is available by researching.
 * ✅ I've merged the two sections, as they can go together.  TRLIJC19   (  talk  ) 02:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)


 * In this sentence in development history, "In July 2011, FX officially announced the project had been picked up to series.", I don't understand what you mean by "picked up to series".


 * Reference the statement under the picture of the house in filming.


 * This article is filled with information, yet the lead is terribly short and lacking in information. The lead should be a general summary of the article and does not need to be referenced, as it is right now. All information in the lead should be included in the article, so refs shouldn't be necessary. Add basic information from the sections of the article to the lead.


 * The opening to the second paragraph in the lead should specify that you are talking about the first season and not the series in whole.


 * In the poster's picture summary, fix the red link to FX.


 * Refs 2, 3, 4, and 24 should be expanded.


 * Any awards or accolades for this season? If there is a substantial amount, add a section on that under reception, before reviews. If there's only a few, add it to the review subsection perhaps. If not any at all, disregard.


 * Under plot, in this sentence, "On arrival, they learn that the previous owners of their new mansion – a gay couple – apparently died in a murder/suicide.", it should say "...new mansion, a gay couple, apparently...". Note the commas instead of dashes.


 * Under plot, in this sentence, "The house also 'comes with' Moira O'Hara...", "comes with" should have quotation marks around it instead of apostrophes.


 * Under plot, fourth line down in second paragraph, in this sentence, "...course of its history – so much so that it is known...", again use a comma not a dash.


 * Under plot, fourth paragraph last line, in this sentence, "...and Violet (whose body is never found) ran away with the baby....", use commas around 'whose body is never found' instead of parentheses.

I am putting the review on hold so the nominator can assess the problems. Please fix these issues within seven (7) days and then I'll continue on with the review. To make it easier for me, I would prefer that after you fix each issue, you put the "done" template (✅) ( ✅ ) after it or the "not done" (❌) template but explaining why you didn't make the change. Looking forward to finishing the review. TRLIJC19  (  talk  ) 00:12, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

With all issues having been addressed, the article now meets the good article criteria and is being promoted to good article status. Great job to the nominator and other significant contributors for their work on the page and review. Happy editing! TRLIJC19  (  talk  ) 02:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
