Dog Tags[edit]

Does anybody have what was on John's dog tags that Sam put at Mary's grave in the episode Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things? --Meraculas 15:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's already in the Production Notes of the article you linked to. - Debuskjt 04:50, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You see, there is this little thing that I suffer from. Simply put it is called idiocy. I am such an idiot. Thank you. --Meraculas 16:51, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: The Flash ^{talk} 00:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'll be conducting this review. Check out Talk:I Married Marge/GA1 for my approach to GA reviews. Let's get this started. :) The Flash ^{talk} 00:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

Might want to change "Winchester was created by[...]" to "John was[...]" as the rest of the article refers to him by his first name—plus there are other character's with that last time mentioned in the article as well.

Done. Ω phois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"[...]Sam and Dean trying to find their missing father." -> "[...]find him."

Done. Ω phois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Plot[edit]

All good here—nice. :)

Characterization[edit]

There's no book ref above Refs to explain what "Knight, p. whatever" is. Please add it.

Done. Ω phois 02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilink to Morgran and delink in "Development."

Done. Ω phois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Following the death of his wife, Sam and Dean[...]" -> "[...]the death of their mother[...]" or "[...]the death of their mother,John's wife,[...]"

Done. Ω phois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Bad Day at the Rock" is an episode, right? Please use cite episode for its ref, then.

Done. Ω phois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Development[edit]

Can you add an image of Morgan?

Done. Ω phois 02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In Ref 30, wikilnk to Zap2it.

Done. Ω phois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilink to the fifth season.

Done. Ω phois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reception[edit]

Wikilink to BuddyTV, IGN, and UGO.com

Done. Ω phois 01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Images[edit]

Pretty okay rationale for the sole image (it's a little weak, but it'll work).
Same as I mentioned above—can you add an image of Morgan?

Done. Ω phois 02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I found out that the image is by MTV, and the Flickr user appears to be claiming it as his own. The only free image I can find is this bad one. Ω phois 02:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That could work—you can always try the headshot, though (it's not that similar to the infobox image) The Flash ^{talk} 02:49, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Final say[edit]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
~~Ref 20 is a bare ref—please fix it.~~
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Just needs that bare ref fixed before I can pass it. The Flash ^{talk} 02:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the ref, but moved the statement connected to it to the development section. Ω phois 02:58, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, nice job. I've gone ahead and passed the article. Cheers, The Flash ^{talk} 03:05, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! :) Ω phois 03:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
