Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:01, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

Improve the non-free use rationale with this template.
Lead summarizes the entire article so that's good.

Plot[edit]

Under 400 words so that passes WP:TVPLOT.
"cancelled" → "canceled" (American English)

Production[edit]

Optional but some images would be nice.
"Afterwards" → "Afterward" (American English)
The writing credits for Aisha Muharrar, Matt Murray, and Jen Statsky need a source, so here's an article you can use.
The series finale → The series finale, "One Last Ride" (WP:EASTEREGG).
The source used used says England, so I wouldn't mention London without another reference.
The last quote in the ~~fourth~~ fifth paragraph is not mentioned in this article.

I can't find the first part of the quote in the source given so it might come from two sources. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:08, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Both quotes are in that source, but I had swapped the order, which probably caused the confusion. The issue should be fixed now. RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:38, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

This source says the ratings were "in line with the show's final season" not the "series finale" as stated in the article.
"3.33 million viewers with a 1.3 rating" → "3.38 million viewers with a 1.0 rating" (source used).
Use the "cite Rotten Tomatoes" and "cite Metacritic" templates for citations instead.
- The RT template won't work correctly for this special, and I'm not a fan of the Metacritic template because it omits quotation marks. Therefore, I've opted to keep the cite web templates for both. RunningTiger123 (talk) 21:52, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Sources are archived.
Mark sources from Rolling Stone with "|url-access=limited".
- As far as I can tell, only the parts of rollingstone.com associated with print articles are paywalled; this article is free to access. RunningTiger123 (talk) 21:52, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@RunningTiger123: I got the paywall message on my computer so I would mark it. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:07, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Some Dude From North Carolina: Interesting. I was using private browsing, so maybe that messed with the paywall? At any rate, it's fixed now. RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:11, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article is close to being passed now. There's just one small comment in #Production left. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:14, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Some Dude From North Carolina: All issues should be fixed; I've left a few comments above. My apologies for not checking that the sources and article matched – I should have done a better job checking WP:V beforehand. RunningTiger123 (talk) 21:52, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
