   Pass/Fail:

Comments

• Who are Cropper, Judkins, and LeFranc in relation to the series (producers?)
  • No one significant. Just a director and a pair of writers. I believe they came onto the series in season 3 after the great crew member exodus following the writers' strike.
• "It originally aired in the United States on April 18, 2011, on NBC as the twenty-first episode of Chuck's fourth season and the seventy-fifth episode overall." Needs a ref. I know it might seem silly considering the sentence content, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find one
  • Would a review from April 18 saying "tonight's episode" count? Or this one was written on April 19, says, "Gary Cole and Clare Carey were a pleasure to watch last night", and then, "Watch Chuck Mondays at 8/7c on NBC."

• I'm sure any of the reviews you cited state the air date. If those sources don't state what episode number is it, I'm sure TV Guide would contain that information (plus it's a more reliable source).

• The Flashes subsection is awkward. You might consider slightly rewording it and moving it to the reception section
  • Done.
• I think the reception section needs another review or two (you currently only have three)
  • I will use the Buzz Focus review already cited for guest stars. I would use the CNN review, but for some reason my laptop blocks it now.
• This is not required, but a screenshot would really jazz up the article
  • Wow. I finally found a user who wants me to use a screenshot. --Boycool (talk) 16:42, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

• That's funny, because I always see comments encouraging screenshots (so long as they have proper rationales).

Just make the few fixes I suggested above, and the article will be good to go. On hold for seven days. Thanks, Ruby2010 comment! 14:56, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

A few more comments: Ref 7 needs a publisher. Also, make sure all publishers are formatted consistently (websites like The A.V. Club should not be italicized). That's odd about the CNN review, as it works on my laptop. Maybe try it again on a different computer (since it's a good, reliable source to use).

I only italicized The A.V. Club because the Wikipedia article for it does. --Boycool (talk) 20:07, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

• The reception section still looked a little awkward. I deleted Sarah describes the face as, "You saw something really bright and tasted something sour at the same time. since it was oddly placed and I didn't think it would help article readers. I also moved a few sentences around so that there are two equal length paragraphs. Based upon the article's current state, I'll pass it for GA. Always nice to see a previously neglected TV series gain a few dedicated editors. Nice work, Ruby2010 comment! 00:25, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much. --Boycool (talk) 00:32, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
