@Rp0211: Comments

Most people will know that Pilot means it's the first episode, and first episode of the first season is a little clunky--take a look at Pilot (Glee) and Pilot (Veronica Mars) and use whichever construction you prefer.  Done
"long-thought-dead" is too complicated and not worded very well. Also, after "long-thought-dead terrorist", put a comma.  Done
In the lead, include a summary of the material in the production section as well.  Done
"She confronts Reddington to find out what he knows." Does the episode end there? If so, add at the end, "before fading to black, ending the episode on a cliffhanger" or something like that.  Done
"Background" and "Production" should be one section, traditionally called "Production".  Done
Is the correct term greenlighted or greenlit? I actually don't know…  Done
It is "green-lit" according to dictionary.com. Rp0211 (talk2me)
I don't find the publishers in web sources to be that necessary, and they get kind of redundant after a while. Obviously, keep the work parameter though.  Not done
Publishers are okay in the references section as long as the same subsequent sources are not wiki-linked. Rp0211 (talk2me)
Okay, I didn't know that. I personally don't like them but they can stay. Johanna (formerly BenLinus1214)talk to me!see my work 23:28, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
There might be more in the Long Island Herald source you could use.  Done
What do Boone's feelings about her auditions have to do with callbacks.  Done
Is that really all the reviews you could find for the pilot episode of a major network show? I can find more—for example this New York Times review, this Variety review, this TIME review, this Boston Globe review, as well as ones by HitFix, PopMatters, The Huffington Post, Chicago Sun-Times, Boston Herald, People, Denver Post, The Wall Street Journal, Zap2it, TV Guide, Vulture, etc. The list goes on and on. Obviously, you don't have to use all of these reviews, but a good number of them would be nice. See this Metacritic page for a full list (although it lists reviews for season 1 most of them are for the pilot).  Done
Used Checklinks and everything looks good.  Done
Looking pretty good! The only major thing I would say is the reviews thing. Johanna (formerly BenLinus1214)talk to me!see my work 20:30, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
