GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:St. Valentine's Day (30 Rock)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 02:25, 1 April 2010 (UTC) Hi. I'll be reviewing this as part of April's GAN Backlog Elimination Drive. See Talk:I Married Marge/GA1 for my GAN setup. I've placed the article on hold; good luck improving the article. The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 02:25, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

I'd suggest adding in what number the episode is overall in the series continuity; i.e., "It was the 11th episode of the show's third season and the whatever episode overall."
- Done. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE)
In the plot paragraph, replace the semi-colon with a comma.
- Done.
In stead of "Nielsen ratings system," I'd suggest "Nielsen Media Research."
- Done.

Plot[edit]

@The whole of the first paragraph: What? Very confused here... Can you clean it up and make it more clear?
I'm not feeling very solid about the rest of the prose in this section. Can you touch it up a notch?
- I think I got it. If not, I'll get a copy-editor.
  - It's fine. The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 00:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Production[edit]

Everything in the first paragraph after the first sentence is unsourced.
- It really doesn't need to be sourced, common sense, but removed.
Surely there's a source that Kenneth is played by McBrayer? In fact, here's one off the top of my head.
- Do we really need a source?
  - Everything in an article should be sourced except for the plot summary, IMO.
    - I forgot to update this. I added a source.
"The episode was shot" → "The scene was shot"
- Done.
Join the last paragraph with the McDonald's one.
- The McDonald's thing and the deleted scenes are way different things.
  - I just thought because they were each about filming, but whatevs.
"In one of the cut scenes, was a conversation" Cleanup
- I think I got it.
A little too many commas in the last sentence.
- I think I got it.

Reception[edit]

Ratings thing: same as in lead.
- Done.
In EW's review: "theme; however,[...]"
- I don't know what you mean, can you explain?
  - Oops, never mind; read it wrong.

Images[edit]

No infobox screencap?
- Don't know what image to use, so. Also, I don't want to violate the non-free content criteria.
  - How about this? It can meet the NFC criteria because it details how the apparent "product placement" was used. It's fine though if you don't want to use it.
    - Seems durable. What should I say for the caption? "Jack and Elisa buying McFlurry's and spending Valentine's Day together"? Also, one of the reasons I don't add a screenshot, cause I'm not good in "brainstorming" a readable caption. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC)'[reply]
      - LOL, how about just "Jack and Elisa buy McFlurry's on their Valentine's Day date"? The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 16:23, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        Yeah, exactly. Anyways, added screenshot to the article. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
PD Jon Hamm image is fine.

Final say[edit]

Alright, I'm satisfied. Good job, I'm passing the article. Thanks for taking care of the issues. Cheers, The Flash ^{I am Jack's complete lack of surprise} 20:43, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review, Flash, I appreciate it. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:29, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
