This peer review discussion has been closed.

I've listed this article for peer review because I am interested in submitting it for a good article nomination, but would like feedback on spelling, grammar, content and content/lack of bias. I'd particuarly like help regarding the real world perspective on the character in the 'Characterisation' and 'Reception' sections, and whether the material there is too much.

Thanks, Eshlare (talk) 17:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Comments
 * "portrayed by Welsh actress Eve Myles" I would have this straight after "fictional character".
 * Done! Eshlare (talk) 00:08, 2 March 2012 (UTC)


 * "episodes of Torchwood's parent show, Doctor Who" do you feel you need to say this after, in the previous sentence, you say " Torchwood, a spin-off to the long-running show Doctor Who,"?
 * Changed the wording slightly, so that only one reference to the show remains. Eshlare (talk) 00:08, 2 March 2012 (UTC)


 * "Across the various situations she is placed in, Gwen remains "grounded" by her family life, which critics have responded positively to." -> "Across the various situations in which she is placed, Gwen remains "grounded" by her family life, to which critics have responded positively."
 * Done!


 * "rewards Gwen" is it a reward? Or is it simply an offer?
 * Changed the wording here, thanks.


 * "Following from this" no need for "from" and probably no need to repeat Gwen as she was the last subject of the previous sentence.
 * Changed the wording.


 * "aired as a five-part serial in" -> "aired in five parts in" to avoid series/serial?
 * Simplified the wording


 * Is it 456 or 4-5-6? Our own article to which you link seems confused.
 * Standardised as 4-5-6, to avoid confusion with 'four hundred and fifty six'


 * Something Borrowed is a dab link.
 * Fixed both occurances of this


 * "During series two, the Torchwood website, www.torchwood.org.uk" this is a little incongruous for me, a little bit adverty if you know what I mean, I really don't think you need to put the URL into the prose.
 * Done


 * " by Gary Russell - an insider's look into Torchwood collects " -> " by Gary Russell – an insider's look into Torchwood – collects "
 * Done


 * According to our article, Afternoon Play should be in italics.
 * Fixed


 * "guest starred" should be hyphenated in my mind.
 * Done


 * Lead Writer, Executive Producer, unnecessarily capitalised, and you link Exec Prod on the second instance.
 * Fixed


 * " that Torchwood are "taking the Welsh global"" are or is?
 * Fixed


 * "2005-6" -> "2005–06".
 * Fixed


 * "archetype[59] " missing full stop.
 * Fixed


 * ""It was completely - one too many "
 * Fixed.


 * Don't think that's the G-star you mean to link.
 * De-linked


 * The Telegraph should be The Daily Telegraph.
 * The Radio Times should be the Radio Times.
 * Fixed all noted occurrances


 * Anne Frank's diary should be in italics.
 * Done


 * What is SFX?
 * Disambiguated


 * Barrowman caption does need a full stop.
 * Fixed


 * Refs - sometimes you link Torchwood, sometimes not, be consistent.
 * Refs - ditto to BBC Two (but not BBC Three or BBC One oddly).
 * Refs - ditto to Doctor Who. I'd suggest you either link first only, all of them or none them.  Check all refs.
 * Standardised


 * Ref 18 spare "
 * Ref 19 too.
 * Fixed


 * All refs need to use spaced en-dashes, not spaced hyphens per WP:DASH.
 * Fixed where noted.


 * Ref 55, e.g., all titles should be per MOS, so Exclusive: Who Dunnt? See ref 80 for more over-capitalisation.
 * Changed


 * Ref 60 poorly formatted.
 * Fixed


 * The Telegraph in refs is surely The Daily Telegraph?
 * And The Guardian...
 * Check all "works" are shown in italics.
 * Fixed all, as far as I'm aware


 * Don't mix date formats in the refs, see refs 133 and 134.
 * Standardised


 * Is it BBC or BBC News Online? Be consistent and link consistently.
 * Fixed
