I will review this. ajmint (talk•edits) 17:16, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

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

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   See prose comments below.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   There seems to have been a little dispute over the phrasing of "mixed reviews", but I think that's over.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "Cece" is used, while the rest of the article has "CeCe"
• "gets christened" -> "is christened" is more formal
• Link christened to Infant baptism?
• Link high school?
• "as such" can be dropped
• "viewed by 7.65 million viewers" -> change to "seen" or "watched" to avoid repetition

Plot

• "the entire office" -> "everyone in the office"? He obviously didn't invite the building, but this sounds a bit weird + variety from lead
• "in the back of his car" -- is the car just Jim's, or Jim and Pam's?
• "keep an eye on her" -> "watch over her"
• "Cece" again
• "had her" -> "had CeCe"
• The sentence beginning "Michael is inspired" is too long and should be split
• "Office staff" should not be capitalised
• "every one of them" -> "all of them"
• "hopping on the bus" -> "getting on the bus"
• There is a stray ) after "Erin Hannon"; I assume this should be "(Ellie Kemper)"
• Link crucifix

Production

• "With the seventh season of The Office being Carell's last," -- would reword this to get rid of "with ...ing": "The seventh season of The Office was Carell's last, so..."
• should "Season Seven" be capitalised?
• "showing up" -> "coming"

Cultural references

• "Kelly pulls" is too informal
• "Jim wraps CeCe in an Arcade Fire shirt. Arcade Fire is a Canadian indie rock band." - These sentences could be merged

Reception

• "3.8 rating/10 percent"; correct me if I'm wrong, but should this not be "3.8/10 percent rating"?
• "calling it among the worst episodes" -> "calling it one of the worst" or "ranking it among the worst"
• "portrayed Michael is a way that showed him as" -> "portrayed Michael as"
• The comma after normal is not a typographical error (the original article has "a flawed, yet normal, man." – the "yet" clause is set out with two commas) so [sic] should not be used. I would just include the full quotation: 'portrayed Michael as "a flawed, yet normal, man."'
• comma after "Scott's Tots"
• comma after "Michael's maturity in the episode"
• "taking it serious" -> "taking it seriously"
• comma before "he complimented Lieberstein's performance"
• hyphenate "sixth season" before "clip show"
• 'blamed it on the writers, who she said "have'
• missing ] after "[Pam and Jim"

References

• 1: "Shows" not "Showz", space missing before "Office"
• 4&5: links no longer go to videos, need titles formatting properly
• (8: Link the whole of "NBC.com")
• (9: Correct curly quotes)
• (17: Remove "at IGN", add IGN as work)

I am putting this nomination on hold until these problems can be fixed. ajmint (talk•edits) 22:26, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

I believe I have corrected all of the issues. How does it look now?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 22:46, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

Just a couple more things: ajmint (talk•edits) 22:58, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

• Take out the comma before "dealt with Pam and Jim"
• "all the members of the office"
