  • Currently classified as a stub, and I agree. Nothing about the basic premise of the show? That would give this some extra oomph. As it is now, I barely understand what the show is about. Five current coworkers enter a singing competition together? Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:22, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
    • You got it right. All that I said about the show is pretty much it. In each episode, two groups compete and the best group moves on. All of the winning groups compete together in a singing competition and the winning group gets $50,000. That is the premise of the show. SL93 (talk) 02:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I added a blurb. How about the Australian show? How much do they compete for? Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:35, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
    • I am unable to find that after searching for a long time. SL93 (talk) 03:06, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
    • They won a trophy. Well, that's lame. SL93 (talk) 03:37, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
  • I think that's lame. Is that a reliable source? If yes, this could be good hook material. Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:22, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
    • It is self published, but I think that it can be used. It is the website of Dennis Parker who was the cameraman for 6 episodes. He has a lot of experience. SL93 (talk) 13:53, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
    • I found this interview on a reliable source that says it under "It sounds like a great way to get two days off of work!" SL93 (talk) 14:10, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

<-- Hook: ALT1 ... that although winners of the American version of The Singing Office won $50,000, winners of the Australian version received only a trophy?

Article: New and long enough. Referencing is okay, well-formatted. Paraphrasing checks: 1, 2 look fine.
Any feedback on the ALT? Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:49, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
That is better and the hook is now referenced in the article. I'm not sure if the hook should be past tense since the show ended with the August 2008 episode of the American version. SL93 (talk) 15:03, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Alright, I've fixed the hook. ALT1 good to go! Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:14, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
