A New World (The Flash)


I've listed this article for peer review because I created this page a while ago. I want to improve this to GA. The immediate issue I can see is the reception section is quite small which I plan on working so I was wondering if any other improvements could be made before my nomination.

Good to see you, OlifanofmrTennant! This article looks pretty interesting, and I know you've been super on top of those Arrowverse topics; I'll be around to contribute some comments soon. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:25, 6 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @TechnoSquirrel69 So when will you contribute those comments? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:19, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey OlifanofmrTennant, I realized only once I came back from my wikibreak last week that I forgot to leave a message on this PR; sorry about that! I've actually been drafting some comments over the last couple of days, which I should have done either today or tomorrow. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:43, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, but I'm now back from my wikibreak; time for a quick review! Citation numbers from this revision.

 * The lead needs a rewrite or significant expansion. MOS:LEAD needs all of the article's sections to be represented in the lead in some form, which is currently missing.
 * If the actors who come in for the guest appearances are listed in the show's credits, the citations for those lines can be removed in the spirit of MOS:INFOBOXCITE.
 * Install the duplinks script to help you can fix the many duplicate links.
 * Make sure the plot summaries for each episode are under the 200-word limit set by MOS:TVPLOT.
 * "Barry Allen gets transported..." This needs elaboration — I'm assuming this is time travel, but how?
 * The answer isn't clear he is transported through time but the how/who isn't ever explained.
 * In : The Flash/'The Flash' → The Flash
 * Citation 22 looks like an unreliable source; I'd recommend removing it.
 * Add quotation marks around the episode titles in the footnotes.
 * Footnote c is formatted pretty strangely. I think I'd prefer a couple of sentences of prose here rather than a list, which lacks context and is confusing for someone just reading through.

A few more comments because why not. Now using this revision for citation numbers.

 * Consider adding a frame of one of the episodes to the infobox to help in the identification of the subject to the reader.
 * is really bare-bones right now. I'm not sure if any more reviews for the episodes exist, but more information needs to be pulled from the existing sources. For example, citation 12 has been reduced to just a short statement about the convoluted plot.
 * The long list of guest appearances in is really breaking up the flow of the prose, in my opinion, and is bordering on an MOS:SEAOFBLUE issue.
 * I made a couple of edits correcting MOS:DASH issues, but I'd appreciate if you could do another pass to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Comments from Z1720
Comments after a quick skim:

✅
 * "Despite this neither Thawne nor Zolomon fight Barry instead being paired off with Allegra and Khione respectively." Needs a citation
 * A lot of the article has excessive detail about actor's thoughts on returning for the episode. This makes the "Casting" section very long. This should be summarised more effectively.
 * The "Reception" section falls into the "X says Y" pattern. See WP:RECEPTION for advice on how to avoid this. Z1720 (talk) 15:06, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
