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)

Lead

 * 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  pho  is  01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * "[...]Sam and Dean trying to find their missing father." -> "[...]find him."
 * Done. Ω  pho  is  01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Plot

 * All good here—nice. :)

Characterization

 * There's no book ref above Refs to explain what "Knight, p. whatever" is. Please add it.
 * Done. Ω  pho  is  02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikilink to Morgran and delink in "Development."
 * Done. Ω  pho  is  01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * "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  pho  is  01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * "Bad Day at the Rock" is an episode, right? Please use cite episode for its ref, then.
 * Done. Ω  pho  is  01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Development

 * Can you add an image of Morgan?
 * Done. Ω  pho  is  02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * In Ref 30, wikilnk to Zap2it.
 * Done. Ω  pho  is  01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikilink to the fifth season.
 * Done. Ω  pho  is  01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Reception

 * Wikilink to BuddyTV, IGN, and UGO.com
 * Done. Ω  pho  is  01:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Images

 * 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  pho  is  02:33, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 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  pho  is  02:41, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 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)
