Comments

[edit]
  • You use "episode" too much in the first lead paragraph; change it up
  • ""Mrs. California" received a range of reviews from critics from positive to mixed responses and was ranked the fifth best episode of the season, so far. " Seems like sloppy writing (from...from), and you should indicate who ranked it the 5th best episode
  • Wikilink bench-press
  • ""Mrs California" features a guest appearance from Maura Tierney who is set to play Robert California's wife, Susan California.[4]" "Is set" is past tense; she already guest starred
  • I prefer to split the production section into 3 paragraphs for ease of reading (writing, guest stars, and web clips)
  • Reviews: ""Mrs. California" received a range of reviews from critics from positive to mixed responses." Sloppy writing again
  • "Despite this he complimented the cold open" Why "despite this"? (Note I haven't seen the episode). You could actually delete this sentence, as you already mention multiple reviewers liked the cold open
  • IMDb is not a reliable source
  • Ref 16: Unitalicise TV by the Numbers, Hollywood.com,
  • Italicise New York and TV Guide
  • It's The Hollywood Reporter
  • Any cultural refs?

Address above comments and respond here when you have finished. Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 22:21, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I believe I've fixed all the issues. In addition, I added a completely new section about Cultural References. You might check that out!--Gen. Quon (talk) 01:32, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To maintain consistency with other Office episodes, you can just have one solid production section (Above, I only meant make three separate paragraphs, not sub-sections). Otherwise the article looks good. Pass for GA. Nice work, Ruby 2010/2013 03:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
