Comment

If the link says "The Doctor" then you would be expected to be directed to the Doctor article. What's wrong with "The Fourth Doctor"? --bjwebb 19:52, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment II

The footage used for the building in London is Millbank Tower. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.189.90.10 (talk) 16:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

Is it fair on the story to have the ropey & rarely shown Loch Ness Monster model as its main pic, when the titular Zygons would represent it more appropriately? PRL1973 (talk) 18:06, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a question of image rights. If an image of one or more Zygons can be obtained where the licensing is as "free" as that of File:Skarasen.jpg, then it might be used. Otherwise, we stick with what we're permitted to use. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:24, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take this one, the article seems very well written. I'll add remarks in an half an hour's time. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 09:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

which was the first broadcast in four weekly parts→which was first broadcast in four weekly parts Done
... and Harry Sullivan. It features the final regular appearances by Nicholas Courtney (as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart) and by Marter.→and Harry Sullivan, with the episode featuring Marter's and Nicholas Courtney's (as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart) final regular appearances. or any phrasing which lists Marter first Done

Production

Expand all three sub-sections, see Genesis of the Daleks#Production(GotD), not necessarily as long, but still need some expansion

Broadcast and Reception

Write the viewer numbers and add AI values in a new paragraph(see GotD).
Para 3: the amount of parentheses look weird, consider removing the years, as they are not necessary

References

Ref 3: Is Banks a typo of Barns, or is it not linked? Done
Ref 20: The SFX ref redirects, add usurped to status, so that it links only to the archived version Done
Ref 21: A.V. Club ref is dead Done
Ref 27: Babelcolor does not seem reliable, find another ref
Per MOS: CONSISTENT, add wikilinks to all or none of the refs

Overall

@OlifanofmrTennant: Article looks good, needs expansion in one section, and some minor changes. I'll do source spot-checking in my second read-through. It looks well on the way to GA. Good luck! DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 10:15, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant I checked the references, and see no issues; the above comments are all the ones I have. (P.S.- You haven't responded here, and your only edit to the GAN was 10 days ago; if you could communicate if it's business or if you need to find more sources, that would be good?)

@OlifanofmrTennant: hey, it's been a week, just a reminder (in the unlikely case you forgot; not because of the time span, I know GANs take time) DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 19:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
