Clean-up[edit]

The information provided in this article is excellent, especially the litteral analysis. But the article really needs a template clean-up. 77.241.139.217 (talk) 16:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All of that has been removed because it was copied from Lostpedia and violated a few policies and guidelines. –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Zoe Bell?[edit]

It says she was a guest star in this episode. Did I miss that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.188.69.161 (talk) 18:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She did voice acting as Regina. She will physically appear in "Ji Yeon". –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

Hello. Here are a few things that I felt could be done to help the article.

Lead-

  • The first sentence seems a bit lengthy. Nothing really wrong with it as is, but it might help to separate the sentence at "....episode overall" and "that was aired...." and revise it a bit.
  • Sayid, Charlotte, and Faraday are all linked twice. It's usually common to not link in the lead, and to leave the link in the plot.

Plot-

  • Is there a link for Jacob?

Production-

  • Cuse and Lindelof need to be both introduced and linked.
  • It's already stated that Andrews portrays Sayid, and he's already been introduced, so only his last name is needed in the first sentence of the last paragraph.

Reception-

  • Can we get a number on the amount of British viewers?
  • I'm guessing that 5.8/15 is in Nielsen Ratings, so a link to Nielsen, as well as a short explanation of what they mean should be added.

Per GAN rules, one week (seven days) is an appropriate amount of time for the completion of these requests. Please place a message on my talk page once you have completed these requests or have placed a reason as to why a request cannot or should not be completed. Once you're done, I'll review it again, and if it looks good, I'll pass it. Have a good day! Mastrchf91 (t/c) 13:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Normally Will (the writer/nominator) would be doing this, but he is on vacation. Concerns have been addressed, with the exception of adding a Nielsen explanantion. –thedemonhog talk • edits 20:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
