Untitled[edit]

I don't recall Roy saying he's going to kill Jim at all. All he did was through botles at the wall.--24.109.218.172 03:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He did at the end. Hurricanehink (talk) 03:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Right. It was one of those 20-second scenes they usually put after the last commercial break, just before they show the credits. -- Viewdrix 00:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


"took a bath"[edit]

Could we explain what "took a bath" means in context?KannD86 (talk) 18:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Poor Richard's[edit]

Isn't this the first appearance of Poor Richard's pub, which has been mentioned countless times throughout the series? I thought that was a pretty big deal.--Smashingworth 05:32, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is indeed the first time the bar has ever been shown, both in terms of outside and inside appearances. Navex 06:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was Roy's brother destryoing the bar with him, or was I seeing things? Suxi 00:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, he was. In fact it kind of looked like he smashed a chair or table - something made of wood - while Roy was yelling after Pam, and then Roy started throwing more bottles. -- Viewdrix 00:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

there's something wrong with the deleted scenes section...

Did they actually film it at the pub in Scranton? I'm kind of confused about where they film the show.- JustPhil 13:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The show is filmed in the Los Angeles area. The only footage from Scranton (so far) is in the title sequence. -- Raymondc0 14:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia[edit]

This may be too obscure of a reference, but the CFO shares the name David Wallace with contemporary author who wrote, among other things, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. John Krasinski is currently directing the film version of this short story collection. My guess is that using Wallace's name for the CFO's character was intentional -- worth mentioning here?

He appeared in The middle of season 2 so it was probably a coincidence. --68.220.111.227 18:54, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I read this piece of trivia somewhere about Branch Closing; maybe on that page, or the John Krasinski page. I believe it said Krasinski was a big fan Wallace before ever starting a screenplay based on Interviews. But if anything, this probably belongs in a section for David Wallace on the Office characters page. -- Viewdrix 20:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

whats after this?[edit]

What is the next episode after this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.84.189.114 (talk) 04:26, 26 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

THE NEGOTIATION —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.53.157.150 (talk) 06:08, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Michael's Potato Salad[edit]

Is the "I can't make potato salad" a reference to 40-Year Old Virgin? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.232.100.151 (talk) 01:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I added back the trivia about the potato salad, which someone deleted. A similiar speculative comment was added to the trivia section of A Benihana Christmas. So if someone wants to delete my addition here, they should delete the comment about "bros before ho's" in the other episode.71.232.100.151 17:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:TheOffice coctail.jpg[edit]

Image:TheOffice coctail.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA Review[edit]

Reviewing
This review is transcluded from Talk:Cocktails (The Office)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Gen. Quon (talk · contribs) 23:12, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will review this article soon.--Gen. Quon (talk) 23:12, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Checking against GA criteria[edit]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    LEAD, no summary or mention of production
    Also, no need to cite something in the lead if you cite it else where in the article, so you can remove citation No. 1
    I would add the Episode citation after the guest stars on the infobox, right after the last one
    "Roy brings his brother, who "took a bath" selling their jet skis." What does this mean? He took a bath after selling the skis? Or he took a bath while selling them?
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    OK, OfficeTally is citing an official NBC document, but it is a fan cite. Might I suggest you cite the actual NBC press release? Here is a template for a press release, the only thing that isn't there is the url, which seems to be broken. (Just because I'm nice, the citation template would look like: {{cite press release |title=Feb. 27, 2007 Press Release ("Cocktails")| archiveurl =http://www.officetally.com/the-office-nielsen-ratings/2| archivedate =10 October 2008|url= http://www.nbcumv.com/release_detail.nbc/entertainment-20070227000000-nbcratingsresults.html|publisher=NBC|date=27 February 2007|accessdate=23 January 2012-01}})
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Thorough coverage, no sign of trivia
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    Neural POV
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    No edit warring
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    Two pictures, properly tagged. All good
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed.--Gen. Quon (talk) 23:32, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the review. I believe I addressed all of your comments (let me know if adding the ref to the infobox guest stars is what you meant). Thanks, Ruby 2010/2013 02:40, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I love The Office. Yeah, that's what I meant! Congrats! I pass the article!--Gen. Quon (talk) 15:43, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
