[edit] GA Review: On hold

I have reviewed this article according to the requirements of the GA criteria and have placed the article on hold at this time. Address the following issues within seven days and I'll pass the article:

  1. For Image:JosephByrne.JPG, in the heading for Fair use rationale, reword it to "Fair use rationale for Joseph Byrne", because each rationale needs to specifically state what article it is being used for. Also, a source needs to be added along with the copyright holder of the image.
  2. In the infobox why is there a hyphen at the end of "8x12, "Mother Love", 2006 -" for his first appearance? I'm assuming it's supposed to be to include his last appearance, but for the first appearance, it isn't necessary so you can remove it.
  3. Also in the infobox, Darwin doesn't link to anything, fix it if possible.
  4. "The character first appeared on-screen on 3 January 2006..." Add a wikilink for the full date.
  5. "Joseph's role in the show is that of troubled surgeon - the resultant angst..." Use — for the hyphen. Fix any other occurrences throughout the article.
  6. "In 2006, Roberts was longlisted for the 'Most Popular Newcomer' award at the year's National Television Awards, for his portrayal of the character." Single sentences shouldn't stand alone so either expand on this or incorporate it into another paragraph. Fix any other occurrences throughout the article.
  7. "Prior to joining the cast of Holby City as Joseph, Luke Roberts had made a guest appearance in Series 7, Episode 30 of the show..." Add a link for the episode to the episode list for the show, and also mention the episode name like what was done in the intro for the other episode.
  8. "On joining the cast as Joseph, Roberts has said:" For the quote after this, if it comes from the same source, you only need to include one inline citation at the end, not three throughout the quote. If there are gaps between the individual quotes, then add "..." in between.
  9. "Roberts has also spoken about the research he underwent in preparation for taking on the role of Joseph, which included witnessing open heart surgery at University College Hospital, London, as well as reading up on OCD." Add an inline citation at the end of this statement.
  10. "...a James Bond impression in episode "Care of Duty (Part One)." Again add a link to the episode in the episode list. Do the same for all of the other episodes mentioned.
  11. "In turn, Joseph begins to open up and confide in Elliot..." Reword "open up" to something more encyclopedic, some readers may not know what this means.
  12. Add a wikilink for National Television Awards in the lead and also in the reception section.

Again, address the above issues and I will pass the article. If you have any questions or when you are done, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 21:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
