Mid	This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.
	This article is supported by the Television game shows task force (assessed as Mid-importance).

Start-Class

I have lowered the rating from B-Class to Start-Class as I do not see how the article meets all of the six B-Class criteria.

B	The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of <ref> tags and citation templates such as `{{cite web}}` is optional, but not required. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing. The article has a defined structure. Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind. The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate. Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content. The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.

1. The Gameplay section is referenced; however, most of the ref tags provide a link to BuzzerBlog, which, per WP:BLOGS, is not an acceptable source. In addition, the pdfs citing each episode's production code also belong to Buzzerblog.

2. The article covers the topic reasonably well, but could probably be slightly expanded. So yes, the article passes this section. Done

3. The lead section is pitiful. It needs to be expanded to the point where it gives a preview of the rest of the article, see WP:LEAD for more information.

4. The article does not contain many major issues or grammatical errors, so I'll give it a pass here as well. Done

5. The article has an info box with an image of the show, so it passes this section. Done

6. The article explains most of its key terms in detail, though it probably use a slight improvement by trimming some of the unnecessary terms and fancruft (although there is not much, meaning the article is close to passing this section).

The article needs to pass all six of these criteria before it is promoted to B-Class once again. I believe it can reach that point eventually, but it still has a lot of work that needs to be done before it does. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 14:21, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
