have shown you it wouldn't take that long by starting and working on the article immediately. You did not quick fail as there was a review. Failing the article after your assessment may be considered incivil but I believe if there are so many problems that you yourself could not remove or fix them in 7 days, it isn't against policy. The only action you would probably be guilty of with no question is your not checking the talk page to see that the review was being transfered correctly available to contributers to see as you work. We do not review within a subpage and drop it in and fail all at once. Working in such a way would go against the spirit and idea of Knowledge (XXG). It isn't against policy to fail or pass. You just have to do it in the open and as a reviewer it is your responsibility to know if your review is open for all to see.

Article candidate and will be removing it for now. The article is half the size it was just a few days ago and a good portion of accurate information had to be removed simply because it was not properly sited. And some of those references were mine and many of them were outside edits from IP an other registered members. I think it's about a C article right now. There are many new books that have become available for sourcing and there are many free or CC licensed imagie. The article should probably just use intense work to improve it's accuracy, neutrality and references. If you know much about the subject please feel free to weigh in and be a critical ear.--

You're right, haha! I guess it just changed over time, just like the GA standards.

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog.

I would have to check on IMDB but, as I recall it was the consensus of editors that it did fall under reliable published references. The official website of subjects may be used.

Thanks! The season eleven/twelve pages are pretty empty, I assume because they're very subpar episodes. But it certainly doesn't mean we can't help them. There's valuable information in the commentaries and that can be used. I plan on trying to add a lot more screenshots when possible. Thanks again!

Finally, one of the more basic things to look for is that every statement in the article has at least one reference!
