Rockets' or Rockets?
editIs there an apostrophe after 'Rockets' in this episode's title or not? It seems to be represented both ways in the article. BobAmnertiopsis∴ChatMe! 05:55, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 06:03, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
Here are the issues I found:
- "The episode, along with the rest of the first and second seasons of Homicide: Life on the Street was released on DVD in the United States on May 27, 2003." didn't say anything in the previous GAN for this series, but after thinking it over I don't think this is lead-worthy; it probably should just remain in the reception unless really needed there.
- I'm not entirely sure I agree, as I feel the home release status is pretty important element of the episode, but I've removed it (from this and the others too).
- "offer Pembleton (Andre Braugher) a lieutenant promotion" a promotion to lieutenant sounds better here.
- Done. — Hunter Kahn 04:16, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- Is there really only one reception reference out there?
- Sadly, that's what I've found. I searched on the Lexis and Newsbank databases but I couldn't find others. If it's a major problem, I can keep searching, but I'm not sure others are out there. — Hunter Kahn 04:16, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
Just a couple small issues. I'll put the article on hold and will pass it when the issues are fixed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 04:02, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
- I won't worry about the reception issue. I don't really see noting when an episode of a show hits the market as being encyclopedic, but to each his own I guess. Either way, the article passes GA status. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:25, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
