GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria I'll be offline over the weekend, so I won't be able to respond to any comments until Monday. If you disagree with any of my comments, don't hesitate to argue them - I'm willing to be persuaded. Once complete, I'll be using this review to score points in the 2018 Wikicup.

 * 1) Is it well written?
 * A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
 * Lead
 * The second sentence is clunky. I suggest "Six episodes aired on GSN between June 15, 2003 and July 27, 2003.", but there are other ways to fix it.
 * . --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "The show proved to be ill-fated as it placed..." - wordy. I suggest simply "The show placed..."
 * . --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Format
 * no concerns
 * Production
 * "The series green-lit " - is Green-light a verb? I usually hear "was green-lit", but I'll defer to your judgment here.
 * "was" --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "The series was also GSN's first attempt..." I don't think also is needed here.
 * --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * "Woolery himself was at first..." himself isn't needed.

 * Please like the Osbournes and Anna Nicole Smith to the articles for their reality shows.
 * ✅ --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Episodes
 * no concerns
 * Reception
 * "a similar series that aired on GSN several years later" - please specify the year
 * --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the CNN quote should come last, since it was made well after the others.
 * Moved to the end of the paragraph--Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Lingo should be italicized in O'Dell's quote
 * ✅ --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think the "Reality Stinks" section head is needed for the Babar quote.
 * --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * References
 * You can add this link for the book. The preview contains the page cited in the article.
 * --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
 * no concern
 * 1) Is it verifiable with no original research?
 * A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
 * Source 11 has an access date of 2008. In the (unlikely) event that is not a typo, something more current will be needed for the claim the show has "never been released" on home media.
 * This was a typo; I just added that access date last night. I have amended the issue. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons&mdash;science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
 * no concern
 * C. It contains no original research:
 * no concern
 * D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
 * Earwig returned a high result (40ish percent) for one source, but it was due to properly attributed quotes. No concern.
 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
 * Do any sources say when the episodes were filmed? The only dates given in the article are for greenlighting and airing.
 * Not that I can tell. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking.
 * How did the show air in relation to Lingo? Did they air back-to-back? Were the game episodes paired with the reality episodes that featured behind the scenes information?
 * It would have made sense to me if they aired in the same block, but I can't find anything that details the exact programming schedule or how the two aired in relation. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
 * no concern
 * 1) Is it neutral?
 * It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
 * no concern
 * 1) Is it stable?
 * It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
 * no concern
 * 1) Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
 * A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
 * no concern
 * B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
 * image needs a caption and WP:ALTTEXT
 * I've been told in the past that captions for show logos/title cards are unnecessary (none of my other GAs or FAs have them). I have added the ALT text though. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * That works for me.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass or Fail:
 * Now I believe I'm done everything addressed so far. Thanks again. Let me know if you need anything else. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Notes are finished. Pass pending responses. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:27, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Done final responses. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Nice work - easy pass. Argento Surfer (talk) 17:51, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
