### Issues
#### General
No dab links. Great work!
No dead links. Great work!
Non-free images have good rationales.


#### Infobox
Cut down on the red links
It's only one. The red link is going to the page for the writer, which TXF's project will make soon.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:32, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


#### Lede
Unlink American as per WP:OVERLINK

Cut down on red links
See above.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Monster-of-the-Week should be "monster-of-the-week", with quotation marks
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Unlink "monster-of-the-week" per Squeeze (The X-Files)
I don't see any harm with having it.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
"unconnected to the series' wider mythology" should be "a stand-alone plot which is unconnected to the overarching fictional history of The X-Files"

I'd imagine it would earn a Nielsen rating, what Nielsen rating?
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Also, re-write to: "Hellbound" earned a Nielsen rating of X, being watched by 7.8 million viewers in its initial broadcast

It received mixed reviews from television critics → The episode has generally received mixed reviews from television critics.

"The official website for The X-Files notes that the episode's plot is similar to mythology surrounding the Aztec agriculture god Xipe Totec". Don't think the official website needs to be noted.

"The layers was then peeled off." run-on sentence that could be merged

#### Plot
Link Novi
It's not real.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Link Virgina
That seems like over-linking it me.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Add actor in brackets for "Dr. Lisa Holland"; it can clearly be seen in the infobox
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
"the members discuss turning their lives around". Awkward. Can't really understand
Reworded.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Add actor for "Terry Pruit" in brackets
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Hell doesn't need to be in capitals.

Potts. Mueller needs actor

"The episode ends" isn't really needed. It that is last sentence of section people should already know
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Detective Van Allen should be "Allen" as it is above
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Same for various others, if it is mentioned more than once should be there last name per MOS:

#### Production
Cut down on the red links
See above.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
No mention of how many directing credits. Was it the directors first credit, etc.? Thanks!
Is that really important? It's, like, his 53rd or something. Not really a special number.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
"Executive producer John Shiban later explained that, since Doggett and Reyes were in control of The X-Files, the producers needed to give one of them a drive." citation/reference needed
It's the citation after the sentence, "The Truth About Season 9". Cites don't have to always come after a sentence. You can bundle them at the end.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
"The official website for The X-Files notes that the episode's plot is similar to mythology surrounding the Aztec agriculture god Xipe Totec". Don't think the official website needs to be noted.

Above it says Nielsen rating, here it is says Nielsen household rating, which is it?

"The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics" should be "The episode has generally received mixed reviews from television critics"
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
B should be in quotations
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
"Jessica Morgan from Television Without Pity gave the episode a B grade" anything else?
No, those reviews are usually just recaps.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
John Keegan who is that. What critic, etc. Another thing, you jump from one review to another. Very confusing
He's the Critical Myth guy. I'm not sure how to make them less un-jumpy. They're written like all the other articles that have passed, and they read fine to me.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
There should be ref. for each sentence for critic reviews
I'm not so sure. Usually, I put a ref after a direct quote or the end of a reference. You don't have to have a ref at the end of every sentence, per Wikipedia:Citation overkill


#### Notes
There are no issues


#### References
Ref. 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 14: All should be linked to the book source below as in Squeeze (The X-Files)
I wouldn't say this is necessary. GA doesn't require perfect sourcing methodology, and my notes should be fine enough to pass. Granted, if this was up for FAR, I'd agree, but it isn't, yet.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Ref. 5: Season 9, and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment should be unlinked as it already is above
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Ref. 7: Fox Broadcasting Company is already linked before. Thus, that should be unlinked
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Ref. 7: Shouldn't XFiles.com be in italics as it is the work, Fox is the publisher
XFiles.com is a website, and as such, shouldn't be in italics.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Ref. 12: No space is needed on "NBC Universal". That being said, it should be "NBCUniversal"
 Done--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)


#### External links
"Hellbound" on The X-Files Wiki, an external wiki. The X-Files shouldn't be italic, as this is for the wiki, not show, and there website isn't in italics like that
The X-Files is the name of the show; the title is referring to the show, as it is a wikia about the show.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Wikiquote should be "The X-Files" not "TXF Season 9" per Squeeze (The X-Files)
I don't see why this needs to change. It's been like that on the "Squeeze" page since before it was an FA, meaning that it was not the FAR that suggested the change. I feel this is just a stylistic difference, and for the sake of continuity, I'd like to keep it.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
That's fine.
That's all. Good work! TBrandley 04:05, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

I've done most of your suggestions, although I've disagreed with a handful (and noted my rationale) of them. Other than that, I've fixed it up. Thanks for the review.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:42, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Ok. All of which you haven't addressed are fine. Again, good work! This will be a quick pass. TBrandley 04:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
