General points[edit]
- All images look good, either free or fair use.
- Length and scope are good.
- No obvious NPOV or edit warring.
Writing[edit]
- "But all four writers left the series at the end of the season." I would either remove the "but" or combine it with another sentence. The first option makes the most sense to me.
Casting[edit]
- I made some minor copyedits. Feel free to revert if any of them changed the meaning of the sentences.
- "Her departure has subsequently been blamed on Maurice Hurley" Who blamed Hurley?
- "There had been a letter writing campaign by fans..." might be better as "Fans started a letter-writing campaign..."
- "Todd also appeared as the older Jake Sisko in the Deep Space Nine episode 'The Visitor'." I'm not sure this line is relevant to the article.
- "Katsulas became better known for a main role in another American science fiction television series, Babylon 5, as G'Kar." Again, this may be beyond the scope of the article.
Ratings[edit]
- "By the end of season two, The Next Generation had risen to become the third most viewed series in its timeslots." Timeslots? Is that intentional or a typo?
Other than those minor points, it all looks fine to me. Nice article! --Coemgenus (talk) 18:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Colour contrast problems[edit]
It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.
To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.
To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.
Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Picard Maneuver[edit]
I am going to remove the Picard Maneuver from the introduction. To the casual reader it is not clear what this is supposed to mean anyway, and an explanation wouldn't really fit. Also it is just factually inaccurate that the tugging down of the uniform done by Picard originated in season 3. I am currently watching season 2 and Picard does it all the time.
