GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

I clicked on this expecting it to be The Man from Another Place... Little disappointed, but I won't hold it against you.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   It feels a little bare, to be honest. It's well written, but it reads as though I should already know a lot of what's being mentioned. The lead should probably expand slightly more on what the "two universes" are (just briefly), perhaps using a link to Fringe_(TV_series)#The_parallel_universe, which I would also link to instead of Parallel universe (fiction). I also think you should mention what "Massive Dynamic" is, as well as mentioning the principle actors in the lead - for example, when you mention "the Fringe team", perhaps instead use "the Fringe team's Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) and Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson)". I'm assuming those are the lead roles, though I could be wrong.

I hope I've addressed your concerns. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 16:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

1. B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   MOS compliance is fine. I'd move the lesson plan stuff from "Production" to "Reception", though, as it seems to be a result of the episode rather than an aspect of its creation.

1. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

   Sources are fine, used well and support everything they need to.

2. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   I'm feeling there could maybe be more in that production section. Is there any information, for instance, on where it was filmed or the like? Not a major problem if there isn't. DVDs usually have some degree of this tucked away somewhere or other, if you have a copy of it. Don't worry if you don't, though.

I am painfully aware the production section is too short. However, I've looked literally everywhere for information (websites, interviews, DVD special features etc), and have come up empty. As you can see here, I've expanded all of the season 2 episodes. "The Man from the Other Side" was the last to be nominated, simply because I couldn't find enough information. I must conclude then that there simply isn't anything out there, and that the article is as complete as it will ever be. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 16:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

1. B. Focused:

   Stays on focus perfectly.

2. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Neutrality is fine.

3. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   Stability is fine.

4. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   No images, so they aren't incorrectly used. However, File:Sebastian Roche.jpg is a commons image, perhaps it could be slotted in with a caption mentioning his guest star appearance; or File:Joshua Jackson by Gage Skidmore.jpg could be used with a caption about his character being revealed to be from the alternate dimension? Either would work.

I've added the Roche image. I've been looking for a suitable image of that man for ages! Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Ruby2010 comment! 16:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

1. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Going to put this on hold for now, as there's a few things that could be addressed. The production information would be a very low priority as it might to difficult to get a hold of anything, but firing in a commons image to give it something to look at, and explaining the plot and lead a wee bit better for the uneducated would both make this article good enough to pass.

Thank you for the great review. I believe I have addressed all of your concerns. Thanks again, Ruby2010 comment! 16:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

I've had a look, and yep, everything's in order. If the production information is unavailable, that's unavoidable and shouldn't stop the promotion, as it's as in-depth as it can possibly be. I'm passing this as a Good Article in light of the fixes. Well done on another one! GRAPPLE X 16:25, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
