  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
  • Lead
who stars as protagonist Leslie Knope, -> Maybe I am wrong, but there is not a missing word (the) between "as" and "protagonist"?
  • Plot
Andy's band Mouse Rat is asked -> Maybe Andy's band, Mouse Rat, is asked
consuming Sweetums -> wikilink
  • I wasn't sure if a wikilink was appropriate, since it links to an article about the episode "Sweetums", not the fictional product itself. But I added the link. — Hunter Kahn 03:55, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Production
Parks and Recreation protagonist Leslie Knope.[1] It was the first episode she had written for Parks and Recreation -> Parks and Recreation twice.
,[5][3][6] and -> ,[3][5][6] and
I'm not sure about the Twitter reference, first becasue is not reliable and second he said, maybe a joke I don't know, "I might be" and "The Camel episodie". Also it says "...role as sewage department worker Joe..." that the source does not state it. With the other two references is enough.
  • I removed it. I'm a bit disappointed because I know the fact is true, but I also know I was stretching a bit with the sourcing, so it's gone. I kept the references to Fox in the plot summary and guest appearance list because in those cases, the primary source (i.e. the episode, cast credits) are sufficient. — Hunter Kahn 03:55, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Parks and Recreation is used five times in the para.
  • Cultural references
"Leslie starts talking about her favorite episodes of Friends" -> The reference states "My second favorite episode: Monica’s making dinner. And Joey is mad at Chandler" Is her favourite episodie or the second?
  • I think it might be her second favorite or whatever, but the current wording doesn't say she talked about her "favorite episode", it said she talks about her favorite episodes", meaning her group of favorites and not her one single favorite. I think the current wording is sufficient. — Hunter Kahn 03:55, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reception
received a 2.8 rating/5 share among overall viewers, and a 2.0 rating/7 share among viewers -> I think that this is wrong, maybe "received a 2.8/5 rating share among overall viewers, and a 2.0/7 rating share among viewers.
No, it's OK, it only sounded akward for me. TbhotchTalk C. 04:08, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed it twice and that are some issues. On hold until July 2, 2010 (UTC). TbhotchTalk C. 18:18, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm passing the article, it meets the GA criteria, although I didn't see the episodie, your plot made me laugh alot. Well done! TbhotchTalk C. 04:08, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
