Comment

If the link says "The Doctor" then you would be expected to be directed to the Doctor article. What's wrong with "The Fourth Doctor"? --bjwebb 19:52, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment II

The footage used for the building in London is Millbank Tower. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.189.90.10 (talk) 16:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

Is it fair on the story to have the ropey & rarely shown Loch Ness Monster model as its main pic, when the titular Zygons would represent it more appropriately? PRL1973 (talk) 18:06, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a question of image rights. If an image of one or more Zygons can be obtained where the licensing is as "free" as that of File:Skarasen.jpg, then it might be used. Otherwise, we stick with what we're permitted to use. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:24, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take this one, the article seems very well written. I'll add remarks in an half an hour's time. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 09:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

which was the first broadcast in four weekly parts→which was first broadcast in four weekly parts Done
... and Harry Sullivan. It features the final regular appearances by Nicholas Courtney (as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart) and by Marter.→and Harry Sullivan, with the episode featuring Marter's and Nicholas Courtney's (as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart) final regular appearances. or any phrasing which lists Marter first Done

Production

Expand all three sub-sections, see Genesis of the Daleks#Production(GotD), not necessarily as long, but still need some expansion Done
- I don't see much expansion; is this the limit of info available about the production?
  - Yeah the references contain a lot of the same information over and over again. I'll try again and I may be able to squeeze out a little more content.
    - Try, but if there is no new info, that's okay; I'll still pass as is.

Broadcast and Reception

Write the viewer numbers and add AI values in a new paragraph(see GotD). Done
- Add something about the AI numbers?
Para 3: the amount of parentheses look weird, consider removing the years, as they are not necessary Done
- ?

References

Ref 3: Is Banks a typo of Barns, or is it not linked? Done
Ref 20: The SFX ref redirects, add usurped to status, so that .it links only to the archived version Done
Ref 21: A.V. Club ref is dead Done
Ref 27: Babelcolor does not seem reliable, find another ref Done
Per MOS: CONSISTENT, add wikilinks to all or none of the refs Done
- Ref 14, 18 and 19 are not wikilinked?

Overall

@OlifanofmrTennant: Article looks good, needs expansion in one section, and some minor changes. I'll do source spot-checking in my second read-through. It looks well on the way to GA. Good luck! DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 10:15, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant I checked the references, and see no issues; the above comments are all the ones I have. (P.S.- You haven't responded here, and your only edit to the GAN was 10 days ago; if you could communicate if it's business or if you need to find more sources, that would be good?)

@OlifanofmrTennant: hey, it's been a week, just a reminder (in the unlikely case you forgot; not because of the time span, I know GANs take time) DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 19:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC) @OlifanofmrTennant: Passed the article; well done. Keep up the good work. 18:57, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overall: Pass/Fail:

Comment III

A little odd that in the introduction at the top there's an unreferenced comment stating the design of the Zygons was criticised, yet every referenced comment below this praises the Zygon design.

This should be changed. Mooseharris (talk) 08:53, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
