Revelation at the end

When Jack was going through the pictures of himself, there was one of his wedding day. Was that Estelle, or was it Gwyneth, or was it somebody else altogether? My eyes sort of couldn't tell.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 22:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else, someone who hasn't been on the show before Starhunterfan (talk) 00:29, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be worth mentioning that Tainted Love was playing at the end of the disco, having previously been heard in The End of the World (Doctor Who)? 90.204.163.238 (talk) 22:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not really... there's no story conection. — Edokter • Talk • 23:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lady in Black

Who played the Lady in Black (Nostrovite)? shouldn't that be added to the cast list? AlbertHall (talk) 14:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Banana?

Is this corect? (I have not seen this episode but this looks like creatove vandalism)

Her presence is detected by Tosh and Banana.

Nope... his name is really Banana. -- 66.167.244.240 (talk) 19:23, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Something Borrowed (Torchwood)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Image: The image is being considered for deletion, sort this out; might I suggest adding a better rationale than just "To illustrate a key element of the plot."

It was fine when I nominated the article. I've tried to flesh out the rationale as much as possible and have emphasised comments in the reception section which discuss this as a plot development.

Lede: Link 'second series'

Linked.

Plot: I feel that 'synopsis' under plot is kind of redundant, since there isn't another section

Removed subheading.

Plot: "half-eaten corpse" Who's corpse is this?

Clarified.

References: I believe you should always have a reference tag after a direct quote. For instance, after "…commonly seen on soaps"; "…good performances from the team"; "cheesy soap opera moments"; etc.

WP:CITEFOOT just states "it is usually sufficient to add the citation to the end of the sentence or paragraph, so long as it's clear which source supports which part of the text". I think it's clear that in the case of the reviews that the direct quotes are attributed the review cited. I feel that having the same reference used successively looks a bit untidy, but I'm happy to change it if necessary.

References: Ref 10 I would just cite as "Andy et al, p. 82"

Done.

References: Ref 14 seems to have broken link to Digital Spy

Fixed.

Bibliography: I would order this alphabetically

Done.

Those are the only issues. On hold for seven days.--Gen. Quon (talk) 03:41, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for your prompt review! Eshlare (talk) 05:33, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I think everything looks fine. I'm going to keep it on hold until the picture deal is sorted out, though.--Gen. Quon (talk) 14:58, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. Pic problem has cleared up. Passing. Congrats!--Gen. Quon (talk) 02:34, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
