I wanted to make my 100th GA review special, so I decided to set upon one of my favourite DS9 characters. I should have this up within a day, but I might become inactive after Boxing Day, even so I'll complete this review. ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 18:20, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Initial comments

 * The lead is slightly too lengthy for an article this size - but it does summarise the article well, so I couldn't suggest anything to cut down. It's up to you if you feel like it needs shortening
 * Should 'last appearance' be in the infobox?
 * There isn't actually the option to include it - it was discussed at the project a while back but the consensus was not to add it because it brought up issues around canon/non-canon works. Miyagawa (talk) 22:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * "Ezri Tigan was born in 2354 on the planet Trill, a member of the indigenous species" - makes it sound like the planet itself was a member
 * I switched the sentence around to fix that issue. Miyagawa (talk) 22:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * "Because of her new state, Ezri's romantic relationship with Finok ended" - who is Finok? Even I can't remember who this is
 * Never appeared on screen - I changed it to "former boyfriend". Miyagawa (talk) 22:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)


 * "However, Damar (Casey Biggs), the leader of the Cardassians" - Cardassian Union or the rebels?
 * At the time he was still leader of the Union, so added that. Miyagawa (talk) 22:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

On hold
This is a well written article, it is comprehensive, well referenced and I even learned some things I did not know about her character. I couldn't find many, but the only things I could find wrong with it were what I mentioned above, if all of those could be addressed quickly then this article should have no problem passing the GAN. I'll put this on hold for the standard seven days despite something telling me it won't need that! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 18:53, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, I think I've covered everything. Miyagawa (talk) 22:44, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

Close - promoted
Thanks for addressing them so quickly, this article now definitely meets the GA criteria. I also made a mistake in putting one of the comments under the 'references' section, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, well done on another Trek GA! ☠ Jag  uar  ☠ 23:28, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
