General

• Overall, in this article, I see lots of curly quotes, when regular ' quotes should be used, rather than ’ curly quotes

  Whoops. I think I got them all now.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• I did a little copy-edit

  Thanks!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Lede

• NBC → the National Broadcasting Company (NBC), as per MOS:ACRO, for its first mention

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• Unlink television series per WP:OVERLINK

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Plot

• "$"? US dollar? Canadian dollar?

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• "don't", "doesn't". Don't use contractions. Write out fully as "did not", "does not"

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Production

• "Lotto" was written by co-executive producer and frequent series writer Charlie Grandy." reference?

  It's the one after the Krasinski info. I bundled it at the end rather than repeat it.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• "The official website for The Office", don't think that's important to the subject

  I've only included it because all of the other season 8 articles use similar language. I don't want to start using a different format randomly in the middle.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• Perhaps add TV rating from NBC.com

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Cultural references

• Nothing to be found

Reception

• Ratings: What channel was it on? It's nowhere to be seen.

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• % → percent

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• first-season → first season

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

References

• Why do some references use the UK format (Ref. 17), and some use US format? Please only choose one

  I think they're gone now.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• Ref. 2: "The Office, season 8" Season should be in capitals, since its like that on the URL

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• Double quotes (") should be single quotes ('), as per WP:MOS guidelines

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• TV by the Numbers is published by Zap2it

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• Ref. 13 should be regular quotes rather than curly quotes

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• Ref. 12 has WP:DASH problems

  Done.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• Is "Screencrave" a high-quality source?

  It has and editorial staff and I've used it for various other articles (mostly these season 8 ones) that have passed GA. If this was going for FAN, probably not, but for GA, it should be good enough.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

• Some references have publishers, some don't. Please add to all of them, or remove from all of them

  Fixed.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

External links

• No problems

This article is in good shape, and will be put on hold for the minor issues above. Cheers, TBrandley 17:56, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
