Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 00:17, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

Optional, but I suggest adding the {{Use American English}} and {{Use mdy dates}} templates for future reference.
- Done.
Is there a reason the first reference credits the end of the episode title as "human misery"?
- I'm not sure. The copyright listing for the episode lists it under that title – maybe the episode's title changed between its creation and its airing, but I doubt that since the WGA listing submitted before the episode's airing is correct. My guess is there was a typo when submitting the copyright. At any rate, the airdate and other information is correct for this episode, so it's the right link.
Various parameters are missing in the infobox, such as the cinematographer (Gary Hatfield) and editor (Peter B. Ellis).
- I tried to follow H:IB here. Since the editor and cinematographer aren't mentioned anywhere, those parameters seem like trivial details for this article. Also, the other GAs for Community ("Pilot", "Remedial Chaos Theory", "Regional Holiday Music", and "Basic Lupine Urology"), as well as many other GAs in general (such as these four recent promotions), don't use those parameters, so I omitted them for consistency here per H:IB. I can certainly add those items if you still think they should be there.
That being said, the lead summarizes the entire article so no issues there.

Plot[edit]

"group are" → "group is" (referring to the whole group)
- Done.
With less than 400 words, the rest of the plot section looks good.

Production[edit]

In prose, add year dates after Jaws and War of the Worlds.
- Done. (Should the years be added in the lead and image caption as well? I personally don't think so, but I wanted to check.)

No, from what I've heard in the past you only add year dates in the body. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 20:16, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest mentioning that sets from Psycho (1960) were also used.
- Done.
Add a serial comma after "Jeff, Britta".
- Done.

Cultural references[edit]

A reference is needed to verify The Cape being a "short-lived superhero drama series".
- Removed phrase and added "the television series" in front (so unfamiliar readers won't think it's a movie).
The word "clumsy" doesn't seem neutral so I would remove it per WP:NPOV.
- I pulled the word from source 16: "Abed is a bit clumsy as The Cape though and as he attempts to attack Jeff with his cape in the cafeteria, he instead knocks all the food off of Jeff’s tray."
Recite references at the end of each quote per WP:QUOTE.
- Done.
Also add year dates to the shows mentioned here.
- Done. (Also added dates for Inception and "Gravity".)

Reception[edit]

Recite references at the end of each quote.
- Done. (Though if a quote falls in the middle of a line, the citation is at the end of the sentence to prevent WP:OVERCITE, since the line would otherwise cite the same source twice.)
With that in mind, this section looks good per WP:RECEPTION.

... that the filming of "Paradigms of Human Memory" used sets from Jaws, War of the Worlds, and Psycho? Source: "Film buffs will recognize most — if not all — of the scenery from Jaws, War of the Worlds, Psycho, and other classics" ([1]); also discussed multiple times at [2]
- ALT1:... that the Community catchphrase "six seasons and a movie" originated in "Paradigms of Human Memory" as a reference to The Cape? Source: "'Six seasons and a movie' may have come from 'Paradigms of Human Memory'..." ([3]); also see section starting with "The words 'six seasons and a movie' were first uttered..." ([4])
- ALT2:... that "Paradigms of Human Memory" uses the song "Gravity" as a nod to a fan-made shipping video? Source: "In the faux-clip show episode, 'Paradigms of Human Memory,' the shipper video about Abed and Pierce is an homage to this real fan video about Annie and Jeff..." ([5])

Comment: While any date works, it would be great to show this on April 21 if possible, since that will be 10 years since the episode's original airing.

Improved to Good Article status by RunningTiger123 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC).[reply]

The article was promoted to GA, long enough, neutral and referenced. Earwig picked up this but it seems like they are copying from the article. The hooks are referenced and interesting. The images in the article are free. QPQ done. Corachow (talk) 09:12, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Episode order[edit]

Since several individuals have attempted to change the episode order from 21st to 20th in the season, I'm adding this note to explain why that is incorrect. The episode is season 2, episode 21 based on its airdate (see NBC's episode guide for confirmation); other websites such as IMDb and Hulu reflect this information accurately. If you see this episode listed as the 20th episode – like how Netflix lists it – it's almost certainly because "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" has been removed and the episode numbers were not adjusted accordingly. Additionally, the production code of 220 is irrelevant to the episode number, as episodes can be produced out-of-order. RunningTiger123 (talk) 01:14, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
