Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:44, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

Improve the poster's non-free use rationale with this template.
Don't link countries (Canada/United States) per WP:OVERLINK.
Remove the comma after "summer romance" (; serves as the pause after).
Same for the comma after "as early as Degrassi Junior High".
The last sentence in the lead needs a source.
- All fixed, last line removed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:23, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence is still in #External_links. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 13:02, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is no external links section. Do you mean the "see also" section? ToQ100gou (talk) 01:48, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems that I mixed them up. Yes, that sentence needs a source. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 03:48, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, I didn't know that sentences like that would need a source. I can just remove that line until I can find a source for the comparison. ToQ100gou (talk) 03:51, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Plot[edit]

"first day of Degrassi High School" → "first day at Degrassi High School"
Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 00:57, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"day care nearby the high school" → "daycare nearby the high school"
Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 00:57, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"then blames he, Snake and Wheels" → "then blames him, Snake and Wheels"
Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 00:57, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest changing uses of "..." to "[...]" (more visually pleasant).
- That's usually to indicate that a quoted sentence was interrupted. In the show, that's how the dialogue actually goes. I can still change it. ToQ100gou (talk) 00:57, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now. Don't think we should include pauses through text. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 13:04, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Other than that, this section passes WP:TVPLOT.

References in later episodes[edit]

This section should be removed (it's a TV series so the next episode would obviously reference it).
- Removed, but the references were pretty significant and were actual plotlines so I felt that it was relevant to the article. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:01, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Production[edit]

do it.", → typo?
- Yes, fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:02, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"counselling session" can be reduced to simply "session" after its first use.
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:02, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

"well received" → "well-received"
"abortion plot line" → "abortion plotline"
- Both fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:03, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Be consistent (here and in the rest of the article) with dmy or mdy dates.
After picking one, add either the "dmy" or "mdy" dates template to fix references.
- Fixed. ToQ100gou (talk) 01:13, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was not done. A template wasn't added and every reference should be consistent. The infobox uses dmy, the lead/body uses mdy, and the references are all over the place. Add a template and then fix the infobox or lead. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 13:15, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Date template was in the references. The only issue was that the formatting was inconsistent which I have now fixed along with adding the "Start date" template to the infobox. Everything is now MDY. ToQ100gou (talk) 05:23, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
