GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
In the Synopsis, "Michael Scott" (Steve Carell). Why isn't Toby's set up like that? You need to have a consistency. In the Production section, "The official The Office website included three cut scenes" ---> "The official website from The Office included three cut scenes", something like that. Also, in the Synopsis and Production sections, there needs to be a consistency with "rundown" and "run-down".
Check.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
In the Cultural references section, you might want to correctly link "Six Feet Under" to its correspondence article. Same section, the songs "Cherry Pie", "Enter Sandman", and "Rebel Yell" should be in double quotation marks, per here and here.
Check.
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:
In the Reception section, "Travis Fickett of IGN said this and other recent episodes are "proving that the show has plenty of life in it and (that) The Office has still got it", the source should be mentioned after the quote has concluded, per here and here. Do the same for Keith Phipps, Alan Sepinwall, and Margaret Lions' quotes. Also, Reference 3, "New York" needs to italicized, since its a magazine. Another thing, is the url [for New York magazine] missing from the source? Reference 14 is missing Publisher info.
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:
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):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
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:
Why does Image:Andy dwight ms paper company.jpg have two licenses?
Check.

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

GAN Respones[edit]

Under "Synopsis", I added the actor's name in parentheses to Toby's name. I did it with all the others, but had missed Toby somehow.
Under "Production", I reworded the sentence about the cut scenes like you said.
Also under "Production", I added a bit about Idris Elba and a fourth deleted scene which I didn't realize had been on the site before. Take a look and make sure they are OK.
Under "Cultural References", I fixed the links and quotes issues you raised.
Under "Reception", I fixed the New York magazine error and the missing publisher in ref 14 (now 16).
