Talk:Quatermass (TV serial)/GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Looking very good so far. Here are a few suggestions:
 * Neither Image:Quatermass1979-01.JPG nor Image:Quatermass1979-02.JPG are low enough resolution for the fair use criteria, IMO. Neither image needs to be much larger than it appears in the article. ✅
 * "Science fiction" or "science-fiction"? Article uses both; do a quick consistency check.✅
 * broadcast on the ITV network in the autumn of 1979 - it wasn't autumn for (the southern) half of the world (I live in Australia and I personally find it frustrating to figure out the months of the year when given a season, let alone the opposite season to what I'm used to!). Fair enough, it's a British series - and there's the whole British/US spelling thing, when either one or the other has to be used - but considering we can cancel out north and south "bias" by writing the actual months/dates, I'd say it's best. ✅ Changed to "October and November of 1979"
 * which cemented Kneale's reputation as one of the best television writers of the time - I'm a little worried about the POV here. This would only be the belief held by some people, so I'd suggest for you to reword or put in a few more supporting refs. ✅ removed POV
 * such works as The Big, Big Giggle, an unmade play about a teenage suicide cult; The Year of the Sex Olympics (1968) - is there a year for The Big, Big Giggle?
 * No date given for Big, Big, Giggle since it was unmade (as it says in article). Need to dig out refs as IIRC was writen a rewritten over a number of years before being canned. Is date necessary if script wasn't made? - Joe King (talk) 21:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)


 * And do we need "(1968)" for the Sex Olympics, considering it's just a paragraph above? ✅
 * The Sweeney (1975-1978) - should use an endash ( – ) for time periods.
 * Okay, there are rather a lot of these! They should all use endashes and they should all either be full years as above or all "1975–78". There seems to be some inconsistency there. ✅ I think I've got 'em all - Joe King (talk) 21:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Lead says "100-minute film"; Production and Other media say "100 minute film". (I'd go with the former... But either way, consistency.) ✅
 * Production designer Arnold Chapkis, constructed several large and elaborate sets - comma unnecessary. ✅
 * a break from the romantic lead roles he was used to getting - perhaps "he was used to playing"? No, I think the point here is that the role appealed to Mills as an escape from typecasting - Joe King (talk) 21:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC) ✅
 * passed away in 2007 - read WP:EUPHEMISM. Best to blunty say "she died". ✅
 * Quatermass was duly broadcast that night at 9pm - space in "9 pm" per WP:MOSTIME. ✅
 * Pieces of paper do not hold opinions ;) Thus, we should have "John Smith of The Daily Telegraph found...", though I see that Production Notes are sourced and this information may not be available.
 * This is taken from a secondary source: the name of the journalist is not given. Changed to "The reviewer in The Daily Torygraph..." - Joe King (talk) 21:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

That's about it - a nice article. The GAN will be on hold for a week so good luck with making the necessary changes until then. — 97198 (talk) 07:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The infobox's "theme music" parameter should not include the "&", just a line break. ✅
 * OK, I'll get this lot sorted before then. Thanks for reviewing. -- Escape Artist Swyer Talk Contributions 15:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright! Changes are all good - ...I agree with your reasoning for not making a few :) - and thanks for taking care of everything so speedily. I'm happy to promote the article to a GA. Well done! — 97198 (talk) 06:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
