Hi. I'll be reviewing this article against the Good article criteria. I have already checked it against the "quick fail criteria", and it passes that, so I will now begin the "review proper". This may take me a few days, so please be patient :)
I will be back soon with a complete review. All the best, Matthewedwards : Chat 22:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As with the GANs I did at Talk:Lovely (Desperate Housewives)/GA1 and Talk:Bang (The Good Wife)/GA1, please provide some WP:CONTEXT and backstory/introduction. You know what I mean, explain that Robin moved into Katherine's because Susan was getting jealous about her living in the same house as Mike; explain that Celia is Gaby's daughter, also that Bob and Lee are homosexual, perhaps; who the Bolens are, what we know about them and Patrick. I'll not go into big details here because I think you'll get what I mean from the other two GANs we did.
Because the WP:LEDE is there to introduce the article, there should be nothing there that isn't elsewhere in the main body of the article. Rather than just the one line "In its original American broadcast on February 28, 2010," in the reception section, the article needs a broadcast/distribution section or paragraph that says which network, date, foreign broadcasts, DVD, online availability, etc etc.
Otherwise the prose is of a good standard. There are no redirects or dablinks. I can't find any typos or grammatical errors, and it is unbiassed in its presentation and content.
References are all from WP:RSes, so I have no issue there, but they do need formatting correctly. TV by the Numbers and TV Squad are websites, and per WP:ITALICS, website names shouldn't be formatted that way so utilize the publisher= fields rather than the work= fields in the citation templates. TV Squad is also italicized in the prose. All external links check out with the EL checker, and I don't see anything that could be construed as being WP:OR.
The article is focused on the subject, which is the episode "The Chase", and covers all major aspects, except for what I've already mentioned regarding broadcasting,. If any other details can be found about production, such as when, where, etc, that would be good, but if it's not available, that's fine.
The lede image requires a stronger FUR to meet WP:NFCC#8. I was also wondering if a better image would suit the article. How about a screenshot of Robin and Katherine in bed together? That is discussed in the prose, in the plot and production sections, and would also help to strengthen NFCC#8.
If the issues I have raised can be addressed, I will happily list the article at WP:GA. It's almost there, and shouldn't need much effort to get past the final hurdle. Good luck! Matthewedwards : Chat 01:34, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
