Moving quotes to Wikiquote

I propose moving all of the Quotes to Wikiquote. There is already a significant quote collection there which overlaps the list here, and Wikiquote is probably the correct place for them anyway. -- Raymondc0 00:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

that is unethical and idiotic how could one propose to move all quotes to Wikiqoute when the quote is relevent to the actual show and or page. think twice and use your brain. --Jkskater4ever 19:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

'Unethical' seems a bizarre choice of wording. The point is, the quotes not only overlap with Wikiquote, but offer nothing in terms of plot because of the Synopsis section. They are relevant to the episode, but not necessary or needed in any way, so a link to Wikiquote will suffice. -- Viewdrix 19:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Office the return.jpg

Image:Office the return.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:The Return (The Office)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Checking against GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"Helms recorded his cell phone ring on his own computer, and actually bloodied his knuckles while punching the wall, something that took five or six takes." Maybe separate into two sentences because they are complete separate issues.

"Steve Carell and Rainn Wilson had difficulty with their reuniting scene and had to stage in several different ways; imaging and photographic equipment, materials and services company Kodak sponsored the scene." This sentence makes no sense. Please separate and write it more clearly. I'm not sure if Kodak is an imaging and photographic company, or if Kodak provided the equipment and I don't understand why this effects Carell and Wilson
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
All good.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Thorough coverage, no sign of trivia
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
Neural POV
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
No edit warring
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Two pictures, properly tagged. I would recommend adding a more thorough caption like: "Andy snaps and punches a hole in the wall. Ed Helms actually bloodied his knuckles while punching the wall." or "Andy snaps and punches a hole in the wall. "The Return" marked Helms' departure from The Office until the season's nineteenth episode "The Negotiation"."
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed.--Gen. Quon (talk) 01:06, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestions which I have now added. Thanks for the review! Ruby 2010/2013 02:40, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! I pass the article! Congrats! :)--Gen. Quon (talk) 04:02, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
