Hey, I will be reviewing this :) Expect comments in the next few days :)

Review:

Hey, well done on the article! It is well written and interesting. All the sources seem reliable and Earwig shows no issues. I do not see any major issues so I will go straight into my suggestions:

Lead:

1. Could you please put the actor names in brackets of the characters?
2. Could you briefly clarify in the lead how the character dies twice (by explaining that his memories are transported in the cybermen)?
3. Could you add a line or two about the casting information?

Appearances:

1. Could you please link Clara?
2. Could you please put the actor names in brackets of the characters?
3. "Clara attempts to reconcile with Danny" - Could you please clarify if this is in the present?
4. "Believing it to be her" - I am a bit confused by this? Is it meant to be "him"?
5. Could you please clarify what happens to Danny and the students when they believe the Earth is about to be destroyed? Are they saved?
6. What does "overgrown Central London" mean?
7. Could you please put the years that "Spirits of the Jungle" and "War Wounds" were in?

Casting and development:

1. Could you please clarify who "Moffat" is?
2. "On 24 February 2014, Samuel Anderson was announced as having been cast alongside Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman for Capaldi's first series as Danny Pink, a teacher at Coal Hill School alongside companion Clara Oswald." - Could you please reword this sentence? It sounds a bit like all three actors were playing the character, and "Capaldi's first series" is not clear for readers unfamiliar with the show structure
3. "It also set up the conflict the Doctor and Danny would have over being a soldier" - Is it possible to explain how this happened despite the characters not having met each other yet?

Reception and analysis:

1. "The book" - Which book?
2. "Anderson's performance was highlighted" - Could you please briefly expand on this?
3. Could you please replace some of the "stated"?

Also, could you please archive the online sources?7

Once these have been addressed I will do a source spotcheck and pass the article. Well done! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:54, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives addressed all of the concerns. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:45, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Pokelego999, thank you for the changes, they look great! I have spotchecked Sources #8, #11 and #14. I have a few comments:

1.) I think some of the info in Source #11 could be used in the Reception and analysis section

2.) "believing it to be unrealistic that the audience would sympathise with Danny over the Doctor" - The source does not specifically mention about audience choosing him over the doctor, so this needs rewording.

3.) "Anderson reprised the role for his appearance in the Big Finish Productions audio drama War Wounds." - Could you please put the year and clarify whether he portrayed Danny or Orson please?

However, these are small so I will pass this. Well done! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 03:55, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
