2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
"visits the residence of Harold Smith to find Smith has committed suicide." - What do you think of "visits the residence of Harold Smith to find he has committed suicide."
"Pilot" is followed by "Episode 1", throwing the name and numbers off; "ep8" is the table anchor for Episode 7 as it's the eighth entry. Trust me, if that was the weirdest thing about Twin Peaks it'd probably still be running. GRAPPLEX17:06, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"character was left somewhat redeemed." - In this episode? How?
I've edited that a little to reflect that it's his words; though I assume he means to say that Leland wasn't really the killer, BOB was. GRAPPLEX17:06, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Some of these direct quotes in the plot summary are from the episode itself; I've paraphrased some but left one or two shorter ones alone as there's no point citing the article's subject in an article about itself. GRAPPLEX17:06, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:David lynch grayscale.jpg needs the actual uploader's information. However, the source image (File:David lynch.jpg) looks like a possible copyvio. No EXIF data, web resolution... Have been unable to find a source though.
If you need any of the Highbeam sources, email me; I'm afraid I can't do anything about the USA Today ones though as I already needed an another editor to look them up for me, but I'm sure I could get them passed on if you need them. GRAPPLEX17:16, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
On a serious note, everything seems fine but I'd still like to check the AV club references. Could you send them to me? For some reason I can't open them. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm getting "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.". Have been since I first tried opening the links. I have a question for you up there too. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:16, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Fair do (loading for me though). I'll copy-paste them in an email for you. As for the question, as wonderful as Jack Nance is, the Mr Tojamura plot arc is one of those minor soap-opera threads they introduced that doesn't amount to much, but just padded for time between this ep and the freakout ending.

Major series spoilers in header photo and caption[edit]
It seems borderline irresponsible that the header photo for this article so blatantly spoils the plot of Twin Peaks. Anyone who happens across this article without having seen the whole series up to that point would inadvertently be shown the answer to the central question driving every single episode that precedes it.
I understand why it was chosen, as it is such an iconic shot, but think it should be changed for the sake of curious readers who may not have experienced the episode for themselves. PretentiousIlliterate (talk) 03:42, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The featured snippet for this article also spoils the show. Is there a way to change this so that casual Wikipedia readers aren't spoiled? L0calh0$t (talk) 02:12, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can accept the photo in the article's infobox per WP:SPOILER, but I find myself siding with L0calh0$t in regards to the featured article blurb on the Main Page. I don't know if WP:SPOILER has ever been brought up in regards to information about fiction on the Main Page, but the guideline only seems to talk about information in mainspace articles, not the Main Page. I think the blurb can be tweaked to remove some of the more plot-sensitive information without sacrificing quality. Here's my suggestion:
Current blurb:
"Episode 14" is the seventh episode of the second season of the American mystery television series Twin Peaks. Featuring Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Ontkean, Ray Wise (pictured) and Richard Beymer, it centers on an investigation into the murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in a rural town in Washington state. In this episode, FBI special agent Dale Cooper (MacLachlan) and Sheriff Truman (Ontkean) continue to search for Laura's killer. Cooper and Truman arrest Benjamin Horne (Beymer), believing him to be possessed by a demon, but later that night the demon's real host, Leland Palmer (Wise), murders Madeline Ferguson (Lee). "Episode 14" was first broadcast on November 10, 1990, by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) and was watched by an audience of 17.2 million households. The episode was well-received. Academic readings of the entry have highlighted the theme of duality and the cinematography in the revelation scene.

The whole thing should be chucked out. Your revision is better, but if I hadn't watched this episode before, I would be fuming right now after reading it. No mention of the plot should be on it - just write about the production or viewership or something else. No point in ruining the show for people who haven't seen it.

The Errors discussion got blanked, so the complaints probably won't go anywhere but I'll second them anyway. I know our WP:SPOILER policy and fully support it and have never had issues with it before. Our articles need to be thorough and anyone who looks up a show/book/movie before finishing it gets what they deserve. However, spoiling an entire TV show on the main page for people have not seen it yet but may have otherwise been interested is not a nice move.LM2000 (talk) 20:02, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
