GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

Eurgh, McG.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Prose is mostly fine. I'd maybe ditch things like "normal guy" as it's pretty informal. Try "man" or "person" instead. I'm also not quite sure what "Zachary Levi was the first cast, in the title role of Chuck" means. Was he the first person considered for the role?

Fixed.--Boycool (talk) 12:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

I still don't know what you mean to say by "Zachary Levi was the first cast". Was he cast without other people being considered, or was he the first one to audition, or do you just mean he's the lead role? GRAPPLE X 12:27, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

I mean that he was cast before any of the other cast members (Adam Baldwin, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Sarah Lancaster). --Boycool (talk) 00:57, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Fair do, I get what you mean now. I'll clarify that in the article and we're good to go then. GRAPPLE X 01:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

1. B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   MOS is fine.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

   I'm not sure ref 21 is really a reliable source to use, as "ChuckTV.com" seems like it falls under WP:FANSITE. Since you're using it to cite something that's going to be attributed in the episode's credits, there should be something more reliable to use - the episode itself, at a push, or maybe a DVD booklet? Also, ref 27 is malformed, evidently something's been entered into the template incorrectly.

I fixed 27 and am looking for a suitable replacement to 21. If none can be found, should I remove that material altogether?--Boycool (talk) 12:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

{{Cite episode}} has a "credit" field for flexible use, just use that to credit the music, so long as it's mentioned in the episode's end credits. GRAPPLE X 12:27, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

It is not credited. --Boycool (talk) 00:57, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

1. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   The scope is fine, not too broad or narrow.

2. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Article is neutral.

3. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   Article is stable.

4. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Two commons images, no problem there. One non-free image File:Chuck Pilot.jpg needs a fair-use rationale, as simply calling it a screenshot of the episode does not speak to a valid reason for use. This definitely needs addressed.

• Done.--Boycool (talk) 12:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

1. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   There's a few issues that need to be addressed with the article, but once those are sorted out it should have no trouble passing. I'm putting it on hold for now.

All sorted, then. Passing this one. GRAPPLE X 01:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you very much! --Boycool (talk) 01:09, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
