This review is transcluded from Talk:Martin Keamy/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. I have read and checked the article per WP:WIAGA, and have the following notes (nothing significant mostly):
No problems otherwise (MOS, images and the FURs, sources etc.). Please address the majority of the above points within the next seven days; I won't make a fuzz if some points (like the prose suggestions) get ignored, as minor imperfections are alright in Good Articles (I am not saying my notes are gold though, but some peer-reviewy suggestions can't hurt). This article is on my watchlist, so just leave a note here when you think you're done. Thank you for your work so far. – sgeureka t• c 16:23, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
I have put up several times and don't want to get into an edit war. But in Episode 78 the shape of things to come, when Keamy has learned about Kevin Johnson's duplicity with Ben Linus, Captain Gault implies to Keamy that he and his team 'may be suffering from' I don't remember the exact wording, but I believe the word Dementia was used, which to me implied that something abnormal may have happened to Keamy on the island, which is consistent with what Rousseau has said happened to her team when they first shipwrecked on the island. Again, this is LOST and a lot of answers are still to come. But if "Others" truely are carriers of the disease and if this disease seems to strike those that 'don't belong on the island at all' (and thus, the reason the castaways have not been infected is that the Island tolerates their precence, then it seems possible or even likely that the sickness (and Danielle was not specificd about it being a physical or mental sickness) that Keamy's complete change in attitude and such was due to him suffering from being on the island.

I find it odd how Keamy gets an article when Mikhail, who made the same amount of appearances, and Richard, who made 4 more appearances don't. He know about the same amount of information on them. So, this is seemin like a game of favorism here... Skeletal S.L.J.C.O.A.A.A.T.R. 23:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
the purpose of WIKIPEDIA is for users to make their own edits. It is totally irrelevent if Keamy happens to have a lot of people who loved/hated/love2hate the guy and thus has contributed to his Wikipedia article being as large as it is for someone that only appeared in a few episodes. That is a testament to his character and his actor Kevin Durand. The point being, that when people start posting more on Miles or Richard, they will get their big articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whippletheduck ( talk • contribs) 16:04, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
There's a mistake in the references, the last two references both link to the same place. Sanders11 ( talk) 13:58, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

This article suffers from a lot of sourcing issues. It really relies mostly in primary sources for the character's arc, development (some), and personality sections. It feels like the article has some grammar lapses and was tagged by IP for this and needs to be copyedited [1]. Lead also doesn't summarize properly whats is in the article, including its impact. 🍕 Boneless Pizza!🍕 ( 🔔) 13:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
