GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Starved/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Looking good. Here are just a few comments to help push it along to becoming a GA:

was cancelled in October of 2005 - just "October 2005" will do.

Fixed

Adam Williams (Sterling K. Brown is a police officer - close bracket.

Fixed

Starved and Sunny were developed for FX - maybe re-state the whole "Sunny" title; those who've skipped down from the lead wouldn't know.

Fixed

Did each episode have a specific writer and director? These should be included in the episode list table.
Neilsen rating of 0.8 and a 2 share - "2% share"?

No, the percent sign is not used in discussing the share, just the number

The Washington Post and The New York Times.

Fixed

it was tough to choose [between it and Sunny] - again, spell out the "Sunny" title in case readers have skipped ahead from the lead.

Fixed

That's it - the article will be on hold for a week so good luck with the changes :) —97198 (talk) 06:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will review the tape later this week to get the writer and director names, although I think that they were all written and directed by Schaeffer as noted in the lead. Otto4711 (talk) 08:48, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the tape and Schaeffer did indeed write and direct all seven episodes. I don't think that information needs to be added seven times to the table. Otto4711 (talk) 03:36, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely - awesome work, I'm happy to promote this to a GA. —97198 (talk) 06:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for a pleasant and positive GA experience! Otto4711 (talk) 06:38, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
