GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
In the intro, change ""Secrets" contains various themes prevalent throughout the episode, including abortion, romance, and confession." to ""Secrets" touches on various themes, including abortion, romance, and confession."

"During a scene in "Secrets", Maggie Greene and Glenn venture to a pharmacy to restock on supplies; upon entrance, Maggie is attacked by a walker." Why is this in the production part of the intro? if it's related to the next sentence, maybe tie the two together with a conjunction or a ;

"Meanwhile Patricia (Jane McNeill) breaks the legs of several chickens before putting them into a potato sack, and carrying them to the barn to feed the walkers being kept there." should be "Meanwhile Patricia (Jane McNeill) breaks the legs of several chickens, puts them into a potato sack, and carries them to the barn to feed the walkers who are being kept there."

"Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) quickly notices Glenn's nervousness and after being questioned Glenn blurts out both secrets." should be "Dale (Jeffrey DeMunn) quickly notices Glenn's nervousness who, after being questioned, blurts out both secrets."

"Dale argues that they are not human beings, and explains that they are too dangerous to be kept alive based on what he has seen in them." remove "in them"

"Maggie angrily confronts Lori about her lies, saying that they almost got her and Glenn killed." did her lies nearly kill her, or the walkers? Make this clear

"After Glenn intervenes, Maggie tells him that she cares about him but that the rest of the group do not respect him and that they use him as 'walker bait.'" Should read "After Glenn intervenes, Maggie tells him that she does not care about him and that the rest of the group do not respect him, only using him as 'walker bait.'"

"Glenn however tells Lori that he is her friend, and again urges her to tell Rick about the pregnancy." need a comma before and after 'however'

Wikilink IronE Singleton in the plot section

"Meanwhile Rick, Shane and T-Dog (IronE Singleton) give gun training to Jimmy, Carl and the women on the farm - after Andrea impresses Shane with her shooting skill, he takes her for advanced training." Run-on sentence: Should be "Meanwhile Rick, Shane and T-Dog (IronE Singleton) give gun training to Jimmy, Carl and the women on the farm. Shane decides to take Andrea for advanced training lessons after she impresses him with her shooting skills."

Both "An atrocity" and "Wild Accusations" should be in bracketed by " " not ' '

"Dale later finds out of her pregnancy after developing nausea from the aroma from meat" should be "Dale later finds out of her pregnancy after she develops nausea from the aroma of meat"

"having been succeeded by a stock car racing" in the ratings section makes little sense. Change this to "having been beaten by a stock car racing"
Done I have addressed all the prose issues.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Are there references for who wrote, directed and guest starred in the episode?
Done
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Placing on hold for seven days. Everything looks good except for all the prose errors.

Should be good to go. :)—DAP388 (talk) 23:01, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
