I have been working on the article, and seeing that the last nomination review only had a few issues remaining by the end, I believe I might be able to fix them. Putting it out there, in case anyone might like to help in adding to promotion, writing or critical reception; or in helping nominate it, as I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and not entirely familiar with it. Happy to hear any thoughts on it. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:10, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

:As the most recent GA reviewer, I just want to clarify that the remaining issues, while few in number, were still quite significant. In particular, I believe § Writing could benefit from some additional information, and § Promotion needs significant expansion. While it's nice to see § Critical reception has been expanded (though I've since reverted per WP:CLOP), it still needs some work: instead of simply summarising individual reviews across two or three paragraphs, it should be organised by thematic element to discuss the overall response (as mentioned). Check out WP:CRS for specific advice.{{pb}}The article is in better shape than it was six months ago, but I still think it needs some fairly significant work before another successful GA nomination. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:30, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

::I didn't know how close we were to supposed to make the text to the review, thanks for linking to WP:CRS, I'll make the changes. Will expand be expanding the writing and promotion section in a few days' time. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 04:14, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Congrats on the promotion! Glad to see so many improvements made to the article. If I could suggest one more: I think the § Critical reception section would benefit from more episode reviews. In the second and third paragraphs, nine of the ten sentences are about the two-part finale; only the final sentence addresses the series generally. Obviously the finale is significant, but it would be good to see other episodes incorporated, especially since the first paragraph already mentions the middling response to "Fear Her". Just my 2¢—congrats again! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 23:10, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

:I didn't find much about the series in itself, so I used the reviews for the finale, and kept the focus on parts that could relate to the entire series. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:26, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

::Yeah, there's an unfortunate lack of reviews for the series overall, but it would be beneficial to have some comments about other episodes too—I'm sure there's more about the performances, characters, and writing in other reviews (I'm especially thinking about "The Girl in the Fireplace" and "The Satan Pit" for praise, possibly "Love & Monsters" and "Fear Her" for criticism). – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 06:32, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

:::Hmm, I'll use these articles to add that when I get the time. Thanks for the suggestion. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:49, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Most of the data in the table is missing, and even the data present is not sourced, neither now, nor in the previous sources, and it feels likely that they were only added because they are present from series 4 on; so I am thinking of replacing it with a graph instead, like series 1. Putting it out there to prevent any future edit warring. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:06, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

:Removal of content is determinantal to this encyclopedia. Find alternate sources to replace it with. -- Alex_21 _TALK 23:43, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

::There aren't any alternate sources. Removal of data is detrimental, but so is incomplete and unsourced data. The Appreciation Index is already present in the episode list, so we aren't losing that. I can add a graph for the rank of the episodes' viwers, that's the only content that was truly removed: it was complete and sourced. - DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 04:29, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
