I'll take this one. TBrandley 02:58, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Tate. No rush, but if you could try to do this one by Monday; I'd like to recognize C97 in the newsletter. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 03:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, will do tomorrow. Cheers, TBrandley 05:22, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Infobox: Couple of concerns with the image caption, "Dr. George O'Malley" shouldn't be in bold per MOS:BOLD, and some MOS:CAPS problems there.
 * I think it's okay for a good article per the other GA characters; those MOS compliances are not part of the criteria. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Disagree. It is apart of Creition 1(b): it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation". TBrandley 17:35, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Exactly. MOS:BOLD and MOS:CAPS are not part of the MOS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, or list incorporation. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:37, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Lede: Unlink fictional character per WP:OVERLINK
 * Done. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Lede: "expecting only a one". Remove only per WP:NPOV
 * Done. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Characterization: The Chicago Tribune → the Chicago Tribune. "The" isn't actually a part of the newspaper name
 * Done. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Lots of this article is quotes. Could some/a bit be paraphrased?
 * The quotes aren't too long. The problem is that the article deals with pretty sensitive material, so I feel it would be beneficial to the reader to know what is actually said, rather than a paraphrase. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ref. 4: Don't SHOUT in references
 * Done. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ref. 10: Use the cite web template
 * Not necessary; even for FAs. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just to be consistent. TBrandley 17:37, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Still not necessary for GAs. I think you spend too much time with FAs that you forget that GAs aren't as good :) TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:40, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ref. 10 is missing access date
 * Done. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ref. 13: WP:DASH problems
 * Not a GA criterion. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * What's wrong with making the article better? TBrandley 17:37, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * If I want to prepare this article for FA, I'll do that. Unnecessary imposing of non GA criteria does not need to be addressed. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:40, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Double quotes (") should be single quotes ('), as per WP:MOS guidelines
 * That guideline isn't mandatory for GAs. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Disagree. It is apart of Creition 1(b): it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation". TBrandley 17:35, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You're misreading the criterion. It specifically says "MOS for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists"; MOS:BOLD and MOS:CAPS are not parts of those MOS's. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:40, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Ref. 38 is missing a "The" with "Huffington Post"
 * Done. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * External links: This article is about the character, not the show. Remove/replace link.
 * Done. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * External links: Categories should be sorted in alphebitcal order
 * Done. TRLIJC19  ( talk  •  contribs ) 17:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Great work on the article. I made a few minor edits. On hold for now. TBrandley 17:12, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
