Hey, I will be reviewing this :) This article looks very interesting and I love the show so I am hoping that it will achieve GA status! Well done for your work on it so far.

Before I do a full review, I checked on earwig [1] and it appears that there is a 46.8% similarity with this source [web.archive.org/web/20110221140031/http://www.tvsquad.com/2011/01/04/carter-bays-on-the-how-i-met-your-mother-countdown-episode], probably due to the quotes or close paraphrasing. Can you please get it to under 40% similarity by paraphrasing some of the quotes into your own words? Once this has been done I will do a full review. Please let me know if you need any help or anything! :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:38, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for starting the review :)

I have gotten it down to 37%, so it should be good now Crystal Drawers (talk) 03:18, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
