GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   In the Characters section, "Ricky Jarvis (McCulloch) is a obese man who has not left his house since he lost a hockey tournament" ---> "Ricky Jarvis (McCulloch) is an obese man who has not left his house since he lost a hockey tournament".

   Check.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   In the List of episodes, "Cause of Death", please link "exhumed" to its correspondence article, as at the moment it stands out as a disambiguation. In the lead and throughout the article, italicize "The Kids in the Hall". The dashes throughout the article need to be " – ", not "—". In the Production and style section, "The Friendly Giant" needs to be italicized.

   Check.

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   File:Death-comes-to-town title-card.jpg needs a lower resolution.

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Not that much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

• Made changes here and reduce the image size by a third here File:Death-comes-to-town title-card.jpg --maclean (talk) 07:11, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
  • 412×232 px does not comply with the non-free content criteria. Please reduce the size of the image to at least 300×300 px. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 16:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
    • Reduced it to 300 × 169 pixels here: File:Death-comes-to-town title-card.jpg --maclean (talk) 04:23, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
