notability
how notable is this episode to have a page of its own? the synopsis can be merged into the list of cheers episodes page. (considering there is but 1 source)Lihaas (talk) 07:20, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

- Yeah it's only the 2nd most watched TV episode of all time. How notable can THAT possibly be?! /snark. I find your comment, and especially, your entire existence, to be extremely non-notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.167.9 (talk) 04:02, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Use of ""———" in sources
George, this is a bad idea on Wikipedia. The reason is future editors might insert a new source before the "———" source .. same with "ibid's" .. you'd think people wouldn't do that, but they do I've seen it, fly-by editors don't think or don't understand what the ___ means.

"Grammar" tag
Are there parts that indicate a need of copy editing? --George Ho (talk) 23:55, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There were a couple of sections i noticed yesterday, so it seems a quick review of the whole thing should do well. Ill get to it if no one else does, but would have liked a nother set of eyesLihaas (talk) 04:45, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Which ones? --George Ho (talk) 06:32, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Ratings
I think the Ratings section of this "One for the Road" article should be revised. It says the Cheers finale achieved a 45.5 rating; and was watched by 93 or 80 million people. The ratings share is also confusing, it reads it achieved a 64 or 62 share. Which of these is correct? On Wikipedia's Most-watched TV telecasts page, it says "One for the Read" was watched by 84.4 million people, received a 45.5 household percentage, and garnered a 64 share. The information is different everywhere. The most reliable information should be used. Just concerned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.221.35.36 (talk) 01:18, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * The essay WP:Truth should help you. I use both numbers to give readers more thoughts about which number may or may not be true. --George Ho (talk) 01:37, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Refimprove tag in Synopsis's subsection "Background"
I believe that using primary source, i.e. the series itself, would suffice. May you please explain why you added "refimprove"? Maybe you meant to use either primary sources or no footnotes, or you believe that secondary sources, like a newspaper or something, are needed. Thanks. George Ho (talk) 00:04, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
 * George Ho: Hi, sorry for the delay. The section is mostly unsourced, that's why the tag is there. -- M h hossein   talk 17:33, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying, Mhhossein. I rely mostly on primary sources; must I use episodes as footnotes (inline refs) or secondary sources to confirm the info? George Ho (talk) 18:16, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
 * You're welcome George Ho. I would go with the secondary sources. Note that primary sources need to be accompanied by the secondary ones. -- M h hossein   talk 17:03, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I added some secondary sources, Mhhossein. Is any more info needed to be cited? George Ho (talk) 22:59, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * George Ho: Things are much better now, thanks to your efforts. I think the tag can be safely removed now. However, please note that Wikipedia is not a reliable source. -- M h hossein   talk 16:54, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
