GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Not much to do. Your sourcing tends to be heavy in the soaps press, and it's impressive you can make lemonade out of such overly sweet lemons! I do have a question as to one source that looks self-published, two minor spotcheck issues, and a few suggestions for prose, but that's about it. Ping me when addressed. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 20:58, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie: Thank you so so so so much for reviewing this and for being so lovely - your comment about the lemons made me smile! :) I have addressed the points below, I hope they are okay? Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:38, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

I did several copy edits.
- Thank you! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The talent agency should be cited in the infobox as there is no mention of it in the lead.
- I have changed that as another user changed it a few months ago and I did not notice. I looked online and could not find a source mentioning that she had changed talent agency so I reverted it to the previous one as that is sourced in the prose. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if avoiding proseline might be a good thing and mention that she has released two books instead of placing them in the lead paragraph by order.
Done DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Link Win, Lose or Draw to Win, Lose or Draw (2014 game show) — this has to be it based on the timing.
Done Thank you for the suggestion! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing and spot checks

What makes Michael Fairman a reliable source?
- I have used his website a lot for American soap operas as Michael Fairman himself has over 35 years working and covering the genre, and worked for Sony producing a soap opera based website, has worked with the soap opera Days of our Lives and has credentials - this can be seen in his bio [1]. However, if you think it is best to leave it I can remove the sources as they are not extremely essential. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
He looks like an SME of the type that should be credible. Thanks for the reply. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:28, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
{Ping|Sammi Brie}} Sorry, I am a bit confused? Anyway, everything that has that source also has another source backed up now. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 12:36, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the short film mentioned in [6].
- Done I have fixed it, I had accidentally used the wrong source. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if the Amazon chart fact in [9] is worth including or not, frankly.
- I included it as I believe that it shows how popular/successful the book was and thus adds notability, but if you think I should remove it then I will. If it had performed not as well I would have still included it. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:35, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's a good reminder to be selective when looking at some of these middling sources. I think it's undue and removed it. To respond to the other item and borked ping, I think Fairman is fine for these articles. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:54, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reviewed: 6, 9, 13, 14, 20. No other issues found.

Images

The Donnell Turner image is confirmed CC-BY-SA in its Vimeo source video. It's unfortunate there is no free image of Ali.

- It is very unfortunate :( DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
