[edit] Profession

It's my impression that Miles was sarcastic when saying he was collecting soil samples. - Mark Jensen (talk) 11:54, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I agree. His profession should stay as something relating his "ghostbusting" work. zeldanum1 9 February, 2008 10:51 AEST

[edit] Tips for the "Appearances" section

The "Appearances" section is currently written from a very in-universe perspective. It doesn't even mention that all of this takes place in season 4 (refs don't count). What should additionally be there is (IMO) at least the name of his first episode, and that some of his backstory is told in his own and others' flashbacks. See Vala_Mal_Doran#Character_arc as an example for what I think would work better. – sgeureka t•c 19:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, actually I'm finding the mix of in- and out of- universe in this article rather confusing. I started copy-editing, but was pretty soon "lost." Also, the lead doesn't really follow the guidelines at WP:LEAD in that it doesn't provide an overview of the article as a whole. --jbmurray (talk • contribs) 08:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Miles Straume/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

  • [1] needs better fair use rationale.
  • "The writers wrote the role of Miles specifically for Leung after seeing him guest star on The Sopranos and Leung was the only actor to read for the part." - needs reword
  • "Miles is caught by Locke and taken back to boathouse, where Locke temporarily shoves an armed grenade into his mouth" - overuse of Locke... could you reword the second part...
  • No negative criticism of him?

Please leave a note on my talk page when you're done with these comments. Cheers, dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 13:03, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

The first three points have been dealt with. The reception section has not been updated for over a month, but at the time it was written, I could not find negative comments from critics. –thedemonhog talk • edits 04:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

This GAN has passed, and this is now a good article! If you found this review helpful, please consider helping out a fellow editor by reviewing another good article nomination. Help and advice on how to do so is available at Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles, and you can ask for the help of a GAN mentor, if you wish.
