This article is currently 92KB long, well beyond the recommended size for Wikipedia articles - see WP:Article size, which states that any article over 60KB should probably be split unless it covers a particularly broad or wide-ranging topic (which is obviously not the case here; this article is about a single episode). Normally in such circumstances the best approach would be to split the article into smaller sub-articles which would be easier to read and edit, but in this case there don't seem to be any reasonable candidates for spin-off articles. Instead, this article simply should be cut down to a more manageable size. In particular, I would say the 'analysis' and 'reception' sections are excessively long at the moment, and read more like a collection of every single review the episode received than a balanced summary of its impact, which is what they ought to be. Is anyone willing to take on this task and get this article up to the standards that, as a featured article, it really should meet? Terraxos (talk) 00:08, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm wondering why a huge section in this article (and others from the series) is devoted to Walker's analysis. This seems incredibly excessive when other critics are given mere passing notice.
That may be, but the article is about the episode, not about Walker. That section is something much more appropriate to a fan site than to a universal encyclopedia. The Monsters Within analysis alone is 15 kb, larger than the critical analysis sections Wikipedia has for major literary and film classics of the English language. Is the Stolen Earth of greater cultural significance than Moby Dick? Or Hamlet? Or Ciizen Kane? Or anything else you care to nominate?
I would suggest that the entire "Reception" section be severely reduced in size to be more compliant with wikipedia standards and the rest of the DW episode articles within wikipedia. Other sections need to be trimmed as well, but that stands out.
I've sliced a healthy chunk off of this article and removed the chronic overlinking. If anyone feels it absolutely needs more details then please add what you think is missing, but the previous edits were horrid. Wtbe7560 (talk) 13:43, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
I thought this was a science fiction novel or short story when I clicked on the title, only to discover a photo with a caption about a dying Doctor Who. Thanks for the spoiler. Whose bright idea was it to make a featured article out of a finale and then place it on this wiki's front page?!tharsaile (talk) 11:39, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
