Template[edit]

I was wondering if Grey's Anatomy has it's own template for each episode. It doesnt work, for some reason.

Yes, can't we create a format similar to Prison Break? One page has about a couple of lines for each episode (list of prison break episodes and a link to another page for that episode (eg. Pilot (Prison Break episode)). *_* 20:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Episode descriptions removed[edit]

I removed the episode descriptions since they were largely copied from http://www.onlygreysanatomy.com/greys_anatomy_season1.html AxelBoldt 14:53, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added the episodes descriptions back in. I personally wrote several of the more detailed episode descriptions for season 3 and you can check my contributions if necessary. A lot of work goes into these summaries, especially getting the various medical conditions and patients' names right. I don't mind people posting my work on other sites, but to jump the gun and assume that the version on Wikipedia is plagiarized is rather irresponsible. I cannot and will not claim credit for the summaries written for seasons 1 and 2, but I'm sure the author(s) spent much time and effort on them as well. Hence, I'm reinstating the summaries for all seasons. Intone 19:02, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted notices to the copyvio problems board, and blanked the summaries until this is able to be checked, the summaries are spot on to the site, I will not speculate, personally, but appear they were written by the same person.--unsigned

I suggest you read this. It's quite clear they are the infringing website, not Wikipedia. Matthew 11:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Grey's Anatomy (season 1)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: TRLIJC19 (talk · contribs) 13:15, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be reviewing. TRLIJC19 (talk) 13:15, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to read through the article and list any existent issues below. TRLIJC19 (talk) 14:13, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Issues[edit]

In the first paragraph in the lead, in this sentence "The season initially served as a mid-season replacement for the legal drama Boston Legal, airing in the Sunday night timeslot at 10.00, after Desperate Housewives.", instead of '10.00', it should say '10:00'. Note the colon.

Done Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 14:43, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Every sentence in crew should be referenced.

Not sure The information in the "Crew" subsection is displayed on the screen at beginning or the end of an episode. Isn't that a trustworthy source? Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 13:57, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, well if you really can't find one then that will work. Just cite a footnote to the bottom explaining that. If you don't know how then let me know and I'll do it. TRLIJC19 (talk) 17:43, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm at a loss. Please, give me a hand. Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 18:50, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've added the footnote citation for you. If you'd like to see it, press here.

Thank you for your help. Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 09:28, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Last sentence of 'Ratings', where it says "and was ranked the ninth is viewership", it should say "and was ranked the ninth in viewership".

Done Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 14:43, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Accolades has no references. Every sentence in accolades should be referenced.

Done Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 17:46, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Expand critical response. Research everything until you find more critical reviews.

Idea: There is not enough information for a subsection at "Critical response", so I suggest we merge "Critical response" with "Accolades". Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 17:46, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have you searched through the archives of Google? Dissected many articles around the internet? You can't just look at one website such as Metacritic or the Grey's Anatomy page's Critical reception section. You have to search everywhere. It can take a while. If you truly have done that, and there are no more reviews on the internet, then merge the sections. TRLIJC19 (talk) 22:05, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doing... Of course I have. I have been in front of my laptop for hours. I will keep searching until I find something worthwhile. Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 04:51, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done I have expanded the "Critical response" subsection. I have finally found some reviews. I hope it's enoguh. However, I still think we should merge "Critical response" and "Accolades". What do you think? Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 10:09, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No that's plenty of information. Good job. TRLIJC19 (talk) 11:26, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

References 16-19 (The ones you added to Accolades) don't even show the link. They all need to be fully expanded.

Done Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 13:57, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The final sentence of Accolades is not referenced.

Done Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 13:57, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am putting the review on hold so the nominator can assess the problems. Please fix these issues within seven (7) days and then I'll continue on with the review. If these issues are not fixed within the limit, then the nomination will unfortunately have to be failed. To make it easier for me, I would prefer that after you fix each issue, you put the "done" template ( Done) ({{done}}) after it or the "not done" ( Not done) ({{notdone}}) template but explaining why you didn't make the change. Looking forward to finishing the review. TRLIJC19 (talk) 14:13, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have now fixed all the issues you noted. Jonathan Harold Koszeghi (talk) 10:09, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Grey's Anatomy (season 1). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
