I'll do the review. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:53, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty good on links staying up, but the official site is dead and isn't in archive.org's Wayback Machine. There's two other link issues, one of them just being that the page is still up, but redirects to a slightly different address.

Images seem to checkout as free or fair. No issues on the talk page. -- Zanimum (talk) 20:59, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done, it looks like some of the MTV websites had new URLs, so I replaced them and they are now all active. WikiRedactor (talk) 22:04, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay. Passing "Conception", "Scripting allegations", "U.S. television ratings".

Overview and casting

"or a personnel departure." is that specifically from the workplace, or are you meaning cast in general?

Done, I clarified it to read like the departure of a cast member in general.

"while Joe Zee was credited as Palermo's boss." Was this at Elle, or elsewhere?

Done, he was her boss at Elle.

Storylines

"to begin employment with Diane von Fürstenberg." Can you clarify who Diane is? I know, and people can click through the link, but it should be explicit in that section of the article.

Done

Broadcast history and distribution

DVD releases: are there any articles about the releases that can be cited, as opposed to or in addition to the MTV Shop?

Done

References pending.

Also, is it possible to mention The City: Live After Show, as mentioned here? (I was searching for reviews, couldn't find one easily in that outlet's online archive.) I believe it was at least available on the US MTV website, but at some point something in the The After Show series aired on the channel itself. -- Zanimum (talk) 01:45, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done

Thanks so much for the review. For a while I've wanted to take on one of your GANs to repay the favor, but I just don't think I'd be able to give a good review because I'm not familiar with some of those topics. I'll keep my eyes peeled, though! WikiRedactor (talk) 21:29, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- No worries! Everything out of the way, I'm passing as a GA. -- Zanimum (talk) 14:35, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
