[edit] Deletion review

Note, however that the decision has been appealed: WP:DRV#Lost:_The_Journey ++Lar: t/c 03:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Substantially rewritten

The article has now been substantially rewritten to address the issues brought up in the AfD. Original Research has been removed, and it now includes sourced content. --LeflymanTalk 17:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from article

I've moved this section form the article. Episode ratings/scores on TV.com (or other similar sites) are not sources of verifiable info since they are self-created. Television without Pity "recaps" are intended to critical of everything for snark value. Reviews there may be funny, but not particularly neutral.

Reception The episode recieved an average score of 6.99 from 256 votes on TV.com,[1] which is lower than both the average score for an original episode and other recap episodes.[2] The recapper from Television Without Pity called the episode an, "hour's worth of 'previously on Lost,'" and said "they're packaging this travesty as a primer to get up to speed on the show" and that ABC is, "making some easy advertising money."[3] Before the episode aired, a jouurnalist from the St. Louis Post anticipated the episode to help viewers find some answers to the show mysteries.

What you said about Television Without Pity is true. I do not see what is wrong with TV.com, which has the same amount of credibility as IMDb. I see IMDb ratings being cited on Wikipedia. The episode has 256 votes. --thedemonhog talk • edits 17:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Eek, If you see IMDb ratings then you should remove them -- both are simply not notable -- nor credible sources. Also remember the fact that they're both open-votes, so the score could change at any moment. Matthew 18:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Oh okay, I thought IMDb was acceptable because it reflects the idea of the general population. --thedemonhog talk • edits 18:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • IMDB user ratings reflect the idea of only those IMDB registered members who bother to vote -- it's hardly an accurate system, and as Matthew points out, the "scores" are continuously tallied. --LeflymanTalk 20:07, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA review

I'm sorry, but I do not feel that this page meets GA criteria as I do not think it is comprehensive enough. I admit that many of the GAs (which are also Television episodes) are also on the short side, but this article comprises, at best 3 paragraphs and in my view, it fails on GA criteria #3 as it is not broad in its coverage. I realize it is a clip show, but perhaps you could add a short summary of the episode and what it covers. If you feel that I am wrong in my review, feel free to ask for a second opinion or resubmit it for another review. -- Scorpion0422 02:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
