Lead

"They hail from the species known as Raxacoricofallapatorians" This wording seems off to me
Bypass the series one redirect
"episodes "Aliens of London" and "World War Three" Clarify that its a two parter and not two unrelated episodes
Add alt text to lead image
"The Slitheen were conceived to be appealing to children, resulting in the inclusion of the Slitheen farting while in disguise, as well as a large zipper on the skinsuits being included to allow children to mimic the motion of Slitheen emerging from their suits" every besides being designed to appeal to children seems too trival for inclusion in the lead
I think that the lead could be condensed and there is a few trivial facts included

Addressed all of the above. I'm not sure which facts beyond the ones you wished for me to condense were trivial; could you clarify? Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:44, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I condensed it somewhat Olliefant (she/her) 03:31, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, I'm happy with that. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:43, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appearances

Doctor Who

In that last paragraph I'd add some details on the ood and what they did in the story
Final two paragraphs are unsourced

Spin-off media

Unsourced
Italicize "A Confusion of Angels"

The Sarah Jane Adventures

Unsourced

Both this and the above should fall under WP:MOSPLOT, which states plot summary does not need to be cited. Given it's pretty bare and uncontroversial this should be fine as it is. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:45, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Conception and development

Doctor Who

Add alt text to both images
Optionally, move one of the images to another section for diversity

The Sarah Jane Adventures

Looks fine

Reception and analysis

"the Radio Times" drop the the. It's cleaner and also Radio Times doesn't go by "The Radio Times" anymore
"The AV Club" -> "The A.V. Club"
" an allegorized dramatization of the 9/11 conspiracy theory presented by Thierry Meyssan in the book L'Effroyable imposture" what conspiracy? Did the Slitheen do 9/11?

The text says it is an allegory for the theory proposed; what that theory is has been clarified. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:55, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also depipe "9/11 conspiracy theory" per MOS:NOTBROKEN (side note "Doctor who character compared to 9/11 conspiracy would be a really funny dyk hook)
"A physics paper for The University of Leicester calculated the force of the Slitheen's compression fields, which are used to help them fit in their skinsuits in universe" and? What did they find?

I mean they found the force. There's not really much more to say without just citing statistics, which I'm pretty sure is not recommended. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:55, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed anything not addressed above. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:55, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

References

Spot checks found nothing
Ref 4 is live and should be marked as such
Ref 7 is dead and should be marked as such
Ref 7 is also missing the author
Refs 13-15, and 20 are improperly formatted

Misc

I'd add this as an external link
"Slitheen" is written over one hundred times. Can a few of switched to "they"?
Inconsistency weather the SJA appearances are in quotes or italicized

Addressed the above and the ref issues. I've cut down about twenty or so Slitheen mentions, but I can try to cut more if need be. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:44, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm satisifed with the articles current state Olliefant (she/her) 03:48, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
