Talk:John Winchester (Supernatural)

Dog Tags

Does anybody have what was on John's dog tags that Sam put at Mary's grave in the episode Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things? --Meraculas 15:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

It's already in the Production Notes of the article you linked to. - Debuskjt 04:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

You see, there is this little thing that I suffer from. Simply put it is called idiocy. I am such an idiot. Thank you. --Meraculas 16:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

GA Review

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

Reviewer: The Flash ^{talk} 00:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I'll be conducting this review. Check out Talk:I Married Marge/GA1 for my approach to GA reviews. Let's get this started. :) The Flash ^{talk} 00:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Lead

• Might want to change "Winchester was created by[...]" to "John was[...]" as the rest of the article refers to him by his first name—plus there are other character's with that last time mentioned in the article as well.

Done. Ωphois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

• "[...]Sam and Dean trying to find their missing father." -> "[...]find him."

Done. Ωphois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Plot

• All good here—nice. :)

Characterization

• There's no book ref above Refs to explain what "Knight, p. whatever" is. Please add it.

Done. Ωphois 02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

• Wikilink to Morgran and delink in "Development."

Done. Ωphois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

• "Following the death of his wife, Sam and Dean[...]" -> "[...]the death of their mother[...]" or "[...]the death of their mother,John's wife,[...]"

Done. Ωphois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

• "Bad Day at the Rock" is an episode, right? Please use cite episode for its ref, then.

Done. Ωphois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Development

• Can you add an image of Morgan?

Done. Ωphois 02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

• In Ref 30, wikilnk to Zap2it.

Done. Ωphois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

• Wikilink to the fifth season.

Done. Ωphois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Reception

• Wikilink to BuddyTV, IGN, and UGO.com

Done. Ωphois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Images

• Pretty okay rationale for the sole image (it's a little weak, but it'll work).
• Same as I mentioned above—can you add an image of Morgan?

Done. Ωphois 02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I found out that the image is by MTV, and the Flickr user appears to be claiming it as his own. The only free image I can find is this bad one. Ωphois 02:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

That could work—you can always try the headshot, though (it's not that similar to the infobox image) The Flash ^{talk} 02:49, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Final say

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Ref 20 is a bare ref—please fix it.

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.:

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Just needs that bare ref fixed before I can pass it. The Flash ^{talk} 02:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

I fixed the ref, but moved the statement connected to it to the development section. Ωphois 02:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Alright, nice job. I've gone ahead and passed the article. Cheers, The Flash ^{talk} 03:05, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! :) Ωphois 03:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
