QPQ: Done. |
Overall: There are a few issues, but they can be resolved.
- The final paragraph is supported by citations to Amazon and Rare Waves. The first sentence about pre-orders is ok, but the second sentence is not. Amazon is not considered a reliable source for future information, per WP:RSPSS. I would argue the same for the way Rare Waves is used to support something planned for the future. Either remove those two sentences or find other sources to support them.
- The plot summary is lifted word for word from tragicalhistory.com. You'll need to rewrite it in your own words to avoid the plagiarism violation.
- The quote in the primary hook does not match the one in the article and the article attributes it to Gibson only; not Gatwa.
- Source for ALT1 checks out.
- I can't find anything in the ALT2 source about the cast being scared. If you can find a source to support ALT2, I think that would be interesting to readers.
- The original hook and ALT2 don't seem interesting to me. Dugan Murphy (talk) 21:51, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
@Dugan Murphy: It seems that the plot summary is lifted from wikipedia and not vise versa. Removed the rarewaves and release date. Created alt3 to replace alt2. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:29, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- You appear to be right about the plot summary. Thank you for pointing that out! I looked at the source code for that tragicalhistory.com page and it listed updates only after this article was moved to mainspace; none before. However, the sentence supported by Rare Waves hasn't changed and the citation supporting it hasn't changed. About the ALT3 hook:
- ALT3 is supported by the link you provide in this nomination, but not in the Variety link used in the article.
- The wording doesn't entirely make sense. "The episode ... had to replace babies" doesn't work because the episode didn't replace the babies. People did. Dugan Murphy (talk) 13:23, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
@Dugan Murphy: I removed the Rarewave source but it was added back. I also adjusted the wording. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 20:52, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think the new wording for ALT3 is fine. There are still two issues holding back this nomination:
- The issue above about the Variety citation has not been fixed.
- The Rare Waves citation and the sentence it supports have not been modified. Dugan Murphy (talk) 22:01, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Dugan Murphy: Done and Done Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:11, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- All the issues I raised appeaer to be resolved. I consider this nomination approved to go forward with the ALT3 hook. Great work! Dugan Murphy (talk) 16:56, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
