Assessment (Article Fail)[edit]

I have reviewed this article and found that it does not meet the Good Article criteria for reasons listed below.

Not enough references for the claims made. I took the liberty of posting "citation needed" templates in all of the places where I found statements made that did not have a reference. It is important to remember that wikipedia is an encyclopedic, and any important claims included in the article should be sourced with relevant references.
I have also added a refimprove template, as per the above.

The reference list includes several issues:

7 Doesn't directly support claim (link should lead directly to article about subject content)
46 Should inlcude the episode name/number if possible
51 Dead link
53 Dead link (404 error)
54 No content relevant to statement (link should lead directly to article about subject content}
61-65 Could be replaced by 66 (contains a list with the relevant information)
72 & 83 Appear to be the same link (should be one reference cited twice)
85 Isn't directly relevant as a reference

The reference list should be reviewed and errors corrected before this article can be considered a "Good Article". See: Wikipedia:Good article criteria #What is a good article?

This article contains sufficient content to give the reader a conversant understanding of its subject. It also contains excellent form and structure, and is largely well written. However, it could be improved by rectifying the above issues, and some additional copy-editing (overly brief sentences occur frequently throughout the article). Thank you for your submission and good luck in future GA assessments.
