GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Very nice little article. Just fix the few things I mention, and I'll pass it.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    Nice writing style, other than what I mention below.
    B. MoS compliance:
    I'm not an MOS hound, but it looks good to me.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    Should Courant be Newsday? Fox Flash should be cited as the publisher of ref #3. Is TV Verdict a reliable source?
    Done, done, and yes, I think it is.
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Little bit of work needed, but not much.


Comments

[edit]
It says "The episode received generally positive reviews from critics" in the lead, but not in the body. It should say it in the body as well.
Done!
"I would have liked to see this storyline explored as an A story in its own episode rather than cut short as a C story" it's not clear that he's talking about the Homer story.
Done!
The "Reception" sections second paragraph should be broken into two paragraphs. It should also rely on direct quotes less. Summarize their opinions, and rely on quotes for the punchiest parts only. There's a bit of a theme there that should be illustrated: some like the Homer part, and some Liked the Lisa part. Play that up a little bit.
Better?
The "Scott Thompson has a cameo" paragraph and the "Tim Long has been nominated" paragraph are too short to stand on their own. Merge their info into some other paragraphs. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 23:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done!
