The Quatermass Experiment

 * Notified: User: Angmering, User Heartfox,WikiProject BBC, British television task force, talk notice 2023-01-26

Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because of the following issues:


 * Some of the citations do not appear to be reliable/have editorial oversight (IMDb, The Quatermass Home Page, Doctor Who Restoration Team, Mausoleum Club).
 * Viewership figures would benefit from footnotes.
 * Fn 15 and 21 lack page numbers.
 * The last sentence has no citation.
 * I don't know if a BBC DVD should be used to cite "Viewers' responses were generally positive" for a BBC program; how can this be a neutral source?
 * Are there any other newspapers/magazines from the time period that can be used to cite/add stuff that are now available online?


 * The article has 24 cn tags. Desertarun (talk) 20:09, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Quatermass Home Page is an interview with the guy who created the show, so that's probably fine. Doctor Who Restoration Team was given a (weak) vote of sorta-confidence at Featured article review/Quatermass and the Pit/archive1.  Will try to look at the other sourcing issues soon. Hog Farm Talk 18:50, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Problems I found:
 * Removed a [citation needed]-tagged sentence from the intro, as it was info not expanded on in the body.
 * Is Screen Online an RS?
 * Removed "Quatermass Homepage", an archive of a geocities fansite.
 * [Citation needed]s all over the place, including "Other Media".
 * Lots of choppy one-sentence paragraphs, including "Production" and "Other Media".
 * Viewership numbers in the "Episodes" table are unsourced. I also think this should be converted to text, as a table is a lot for only six episodes and it disrupts the flow.
 * "Mausoleum Club" link was 404, and this appears to have been a web forum so I don't think it was a RS to begin with
 * Is Digital Fix an RS?

 * I think the Geocities source may be a WP:SPS that meets reliability (if it's the same one we checked last time through), but nonetheless, per the other issues raised, Move to FARC. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  19:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
 * As I noted above, the Geocities page was actually fine here as a WP:SPS interview with the series writer, but this needs substantive work across the board, so move to FARC. Hog Farm Talk 20:10, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
