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 Plot, "Meanwhile, Fifi Le Fume has her eye on movie star Johnny Pew and manages to track him down at the hotel at which he's staying" ---> "Meanwhile, Fifi Le Fume has her eye on movie star Johnny Pew and manages to track him down at the hotel at which he is staying", per here. Same section, "Fowlmouth will not shut up through the film", I'm not sure if "shut up" is encyclopedic. Maybe "Fowlmouth does not stay quiet through the film", just a suggestion.

   Check.

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

   In the Production section, Television Cartoon Shows: an Illustrated Encyclopedia needs to be italicized, not be in quotation marks, since it's a book. In the Themes section, why are "Superman" and "The Little Mermaid" in quotation marks? Is the Little Mermaid, Ariel, who was parodied in the movie? Or the entire characters of The Little Mermaid? If so, this needs to be cleared. Same section, Deliverance should be italicized, since it's a movie. In the Release section, there's no need for quotation marks around Fox Kids. In the Reception section, italicize TV Guide, a magazine. Same section, "Billboard charts" ---> "Billboard charts".

   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:

   Does Ref. 13 have publisher info.? Entertainment Weekly needs to be italicized in Ref. 20.

   Done Gak Blimby (talk) 06:29, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

   Check.

   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:

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

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!
