Hi! I'll be taking on this review . FishLoveHam (talk) 22:24, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

A really strong Doctor Who nomination overall.

Infobox and lede

• Remove a comma after "story".
• Add a comma after "in this episode".

Plot

• "on top of" → "atop" (less wordy).
• "He explains" → Who explains, Sutekh or the Doctor?
• "which" → "that".
• "visit 2046" → "visit the year 2046".
• Add commas surrounding "to make him stop".
• Add a comma after "compulsory".
• "death" → "deaths".
• "got" → "had".
• Earwig's Copyvio Detector has reported 85.1% in similarity, mainly from the plot summary. Per WP:Plagarism, I think you should cite the reference it was copied from.

I'm an editor who did a lot of work on the plot summary. I'm commenting on this GA review to say that I believe the copyvio is the other way around. Although I am unable to see the 85.1% similarity result on Earwing as I get a HTTP Error 429 when using it, I have put a random paragraph from the plot in Google and searched for it instead. If the result from my search (a site named Tragical History Tour) is the same site Earwig is finding, that site has clearly copied the plot from the Wikipedia article for their page.

Production

Development

• "says" → "said".
• "premise of the story" → "story's premise".
• Remove the comma after "original "aesthetic" of Sutekh".
• Remove the comma after "design provided by Davies".
• Add a comma after "commentary".
• Remove "actually" (redundant).
• "he had originally" → "he initially".

Filming

• Add a comma after "London".
• "With Bonnie Langford's Mel specifically noticing" remove "with" and "noticing" → "notices".
• Add a comma after "thus".
• "usage" → "use".
• "sixtieth anniversary" → "sixtieth-anniversary".
• "in order to" → "to".

Casting

• "which" → "that".

Broadcast and reception

Broadcast

• "and followed" → "and was followed".
• "its" → "it".
• "The first appearance of Sutekh" → "Sutekh's first appearance".
• Repetition of "broadcast" in the same sentence. Maybe change one to "aired".
• Add a colon after "previous episode".

Ratings

• "Griffin stated that it was likely that the episode was viewed by significantly more people" remove the second "that".  Done
• "most-profitable" → "most profitable"  Done

Critical reception

• I recommend altering the heading to "Critical response", but not a requirement.

References

• Ref 6 and 21 are the same.  Done
• CultBox is misspelled in ref 18.  Done
• Sources are archived.
• Ping when done. FishLoveHam (talk) 09:32, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I believe I've addressed all the comments in the Infobox and lede, plot, and production sections. I'll leave the rest for my co-nominators. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
