GA review

edit

I have some concerns on the GA candidature of the article:

  • Length of the article - i shall check if a short article like this is OK.
  • Please ensure that there is no "fact" tag in the article (i think i saw two)
  • Trivia section - contains a trivia tag and hence violates GA review norms. Please move contents of this section to others or rename appropriately

Once these three issues are sorted, the article will be good to go. --Kalyan 18:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your review. To address your issues:

  • Let me remind you that there is no requirements for length of GA-articles, that was actually one of the reasons why GAs were started in the first place, to thus supplement FAs. There was recently a discussion as to whether separate WW episodes warranted separate articles at all. I think I've shown here that they can be expanded to a good level, but they can't be much longer than this without filling up with trivia and endless plot summaries.
  • There was one; I removed the bit that called the beginning "dramatic". I never really liked that line anyway, it was there before I started editing.
  • There is no trivia section. There was one before I started editing, but I removed it and integrated the content into a "Real-life connection" section.

As i said, i wanted a word on the GA talk page. i am now comfortable that the length need not hinder a GAN. I tried moving the President's seal around and made a mess of it. I wanted to ensure that the formating of the page came alright and never managed it. Moving the page to GA. --Kalyan 19:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.

Problems with the article

edit

This is the problem with relying mainly on Internet sources. Some of those links are dead, dead, dead. Others are of questionable reliability- eg. TV.com and an episode guide- who's the author of this site? Is it a fan site? There are some great articles on TV episodes- eg. Abyssinia, Henry, Homer's Phobia. The West Wing isn't an obscure show, we could probably do better. Ribbet32 (talk) 19:20, 12 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Graham Greene

edit

I wonder if there are conscious or unconscious echoes of 'Went The Day Well?', the Graham Greene-written novel about German paratroopers taking over an English village 82.68.202.214 (talk) 21:41, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

West Wing

edit

Isn't this article mostly a copy of the West Wing main article now, should all of this stuff actually be here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.3.124.99 (talk) 13:19, 3 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
