Talk:Grumpy Old Man

Grumpy Old Man (episode)

Final review (template)

Final review (sorry I'm over an hour late but that's ok) Koopatrev (talk) 10:07, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

1. It is well written.

Prose quality:

Follows MOS:

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable;.:

References to sources:

Citations to reliable sources, where required:

No original research:

The "cultural references" section is still lacking some sources for some statements. In source 3 you don't really see anything that says anything about the cultural references of this episode.

3. It is broad in coverage:

Major aspects:

The section for reviews from critics in the "reception" section is still missing. However there is still a part for U.S. viewers and ratings.

Focused:

4. It is written in a neutral point of view.:

Fair representation without bias:

5. Reasonably stable?

No edit wars etc:

6. Includes images, where appropriate.:

Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

Overall:

Pass or Fail: Sorry this probably has to fail, some parts are still lacking information.
