Pre-GA Questions, Comments and Other Reviews
I love this article. :) :) But then, I appreciate the wholand, so why not. I do have some comments, that probably would fall into section 1, of the writing phase. I could be wrong on this, but I do think the WP:MOS wants us to put punctuation inside the quotes, and footnotes outside, and in standard MOS format, only the colon would go on the outside -- all others would be inside the quotes, except possibly in a few very unusual circumstances. Secondly, I can think of no reason why there would be two end quotation marks, as there is in Broadcast section. Thus the sentence in particular I'm looking at offers several of the MOS points that I mentioned:

Charlie Jane Anders of io9 "mostly loved "Planet Of The Dead"", commenting that it was a standard Russell T Davies script that had the "elements of a cracking good story":

....mostly loved "Planet of the Dead," commenting that it was a standard Russel T. Davies script that had the "elements of a cracking good story": etc. This said, such comments are actually quite minor.

Second, the lead is not as well written as the rest of the article and, I think, deserves another edit for clarity. There are a lot of preposition phrases -- sort of a pileup of prepositional phrases, you might say, and these could be clarified so that the lead reads as well as the rest of the article. Just mho.... --Auntieruth55 (talk) 20:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh....and "one-off companion" ... I don't understand what that means. ... One time companion? --Auntieruth55 (talk) 20:35, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * "One-off" means, roughly, "one time only"; more often used in British English than in American. Per the MoS, this is perfectly acceptable, especially considering the British origin of the subject. Vicenarian  (T · C) 01:58, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
