2. There are unnecessary spaces before commas and brackets.

• as the hybrid of a > is the hybrid of a
• witch originaly from > witch originally from
• As a young man, Klaus and Elijah > As young men, Klaus and Elijah
• later un-daggers Elijah > later undaggers Elijah

5. Incorrect words/terminology are consistently used.

• show creators > executive producers/writers/creators Any one of these words would be better suited.
• registered a good fan response > registered a positive fan response
• a core character of The CW's > a core character within The CW's

6. The article is quite repetitive.

• "first Original Hybrid a vampire with werewolf" The words 'hybrid' and 'vampire with a werewolf' clearly mean the same thing.
• "he had been intimate and slept also" Being intimate with and sleeping with mean the same thing.

7. Several sentences make little to no sense in their current form.

• "The character of Klaus , first created for novel by L. J. Smith in 1991 in #Volume II The Struggle as the hybrid of a vampire and a werewolf." It makes little to no sense in its current form. Could possibly edit this to "The character Klaus, first introduced by L. J. Smith in the 1991 novel The Vampire Diaries: The Struggle, was created as a hybrid of a vampire and a werewolf."

• "Show creators Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec wanted a villain who would top others in complexity and danger, with Plec calling Klaus "the ultimate Big Bad," intended to add depth to vampires' and werewolves' lore within the universe of the series."

• "Though she chose Elijah, her death later revealed as Elijah’s doing strained Klaus’s relationship with his brother."

• "Klaus then break ups , wanted revenge on Katerina, causing her to spend centuries running from him."

• "The first Petrova doppelgänger Klaus found was Katherine Pierce, he is the ex-boyfriend of Katherine Pierce with whom he had been intimate and slept also , but later she escaped Klaus with the help of Elijah with the moonstone and hung herself in order to become a vampire so that she would be useless for the ritual"

• This is by no means an exhaustive list. Quite frankly, a majority of this article needs to be rewritten.

8. "Joseph Morgan. Hall has received many accolades for his portrayal of Klaus," Who is Hall?

9. The tense frequently fluctuates between present and past. Given the page is about a fictional character, it should ideally use present tense throughout.

10. The article uses "Always and Forever" and "always and forever". One format needs to be used throughout for consistency.

• becoming the central figure of its spin-off series > becoming the protagonist of its spin-off series
• The Vampire Diaries franchise > The Vampire Diaries Universe
• Viking raiders > Viking raiders
• vampire-hunter > vampire hunter
• #Volume II The Struggle > Volume II: The Struggle
• Behind the scenes This just does not need to be wikilinked.

2. Several cases of MOS:Overlink, names like Alaric Saltzman and New Orleans are linked multiple times within the same level 2 heading.

3. There are multiple MOS:WTW used. For example, legendary, acclaim, iconic, notable, etc.

• "Joseph Morgan Talks THE ORIGINALS, Klaus' Evolution, Why He Loves the Character So Much, and More" links to a 404 page.
• "The Vampire Diaries Boss on Klaus' Arrival: 'He's a Force to Be Reckoned With'"
• "Niklaus Mikaelson (is the Vampire Diaries' and The Originals' tragic super villain a good vampire character?) – Sanguinem Emere"

• "The Originals: TV Review" by The Hollywood Reporter
• "The Vampire Diaries: The 10 Best Villains, Ranked"
• "'Vampire Diaries' casts Klaus: How should Joseph Morgan play the villain? (Like a young James Spader?)"
• This is not an exhaustive list.

2. Some citations are cited twice on the References list.

• "The Originals: TV Review" by The Hollywood Reporter (refs 18 and 93)
• "The 10 Best Villains In The Vampire Diaries, Ranked" (refs 17 and 91)
• "Every Mikaelson Family Member in 'The Vampire Diaries,' Ranked" (refs 13 and 37)
• This is not an exhaustive list.

3. There are unnecessary gaps between punctuation and references.

• Refer to citations 17 and 54.

4. Most of the sources do not meet the WP:RS threshold.

• Plec attributed the spin-off's existence to Morgan's performance and fan support, stating, "without Klaus, there would be no Originals."
• Plec also said that she was impressed with Morgan's ability to display different sides of a character.
• Joseph Morgan’s portrayal of Klaus Mikaelson has received widespread acclaim for its charismatic intensity, emotional nuance, and complexity.
• This is not an exhaustive list.

I will also be marking the article with a copy edit tag. Overall, this article needs to be seriously rewritten and revamped before resubmission.
