 * Notes
 * 1b. Lead does not fully summarize the article (WP:LEAD). "Derivatives" seems to run afoul of Embedded list.
 * 2a. Please follow Layout. Which reference does the Wife Swap and Jeopardy! appearances come from?
 * 2b. Provide publisher information on all references used. Resolve the Citation needed tags.
 * 3b. "Examples" section is sprawling, but is ok at this point.
 * 6a. Weak Fair Use rationale on File:Robert.Newton.ljs.gif. Actually, describe what the pirate looks like. Don't just say it is important to know what a pirate looks like.

Due to the problems identified above, I closed this GA review. Before it is nominated again, please address the above points and judge the article's quality in terms of the GA criteria. maclean (talk) 18:28, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
