Dunder Mifflin[edit]

I am going through several articles and changing instances of "Dunder-Mifflin" to "Dunder Mifflin" (no hyphen) as it is the proper "spelling" of the company name (see Talk page at Dunder Mifflin). Just leaving a note to say that I've gone through this page. :) Fieryrogue 15:55, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mysterious nod at the end?[edit]

I have absolutely no idea what the two nods are between Jim and Michael at the end but the closest conclusion i can find is that Jim was asking "hey what happened with Jan?" but im not an expert at body language... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.95.149.51 (talk) 16:51, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TheOffice(US)2-07.jpg[edit]

Image:TheOffice(US)2-07.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, 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]

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

A few suggestions for improving the article:

Jan and Michael form a relationship -- kind of awkwardly worded. How about something like they "begin a relationship" or "enter a relationship together"? Up to you, really

Changed "form" to begin" --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fieg had previously directed episode "Pilot" and "The Dundies" -- I think you've mistaken Greg Daniels for Paul Feig here, and anyway, Daniels wrote (not directed) the pilot.

Changed --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No need to relink Greg Daniels in the 2nd paragraph of Production; he's just been linked a few lines above, and also in the lead.

Unlinked --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When Oscar talks about his date getting a background check on him, that was based off of an actual date that writer Paul Lieberstein went on -- can this whole sentence be reworded?

Re-worded to "The scene where Oscar tells a story about a date getting a background check on him was based on an actual date that Paul Lieberstein went on." Is that better? --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

reshoot to explain the "Dwigt" situation clearly and concisely -- is that "Dwight"?

No, in the episode, "Dwigt" was written on the script, which hinted that Michael originally used Dwight's name, and then the misspelling wasn't changed after a search and replace. --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greg Daniels brought everyone into the editing room -- [1] says he brought in "everyone he could". It's fussy, but there is a slight difference.

Changed "everyone" to "many people" --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

households with an 18 to 49 year old living in it -- "year-old".

Changed --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say "The Client" generally received positive reviews from critics. Only the first review is done by a real "critic"; the second isn't part of an edited publication and the third is a poll to the public.

Removed opening statement --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:MOSTV#Reception, polls held to the public are not considered reliable (Nielsen ratings are used to determine public interest, and we have those figures here) and therefore should not be included, i.e. the poll by OfficeTally.com.

Removed poll --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 15:20, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put the article on hold for seven days so any changes can be made, and the hopefully we can promote the article to GA status. Good luck with the improvements :) —97198 talk 13:00, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking care of business -- now the only thing I'd suggest is explaining the "Dwigt" thing as readers such as myself who have not seen the episode wouldn't understand. Maybe just mention in the plot synopsis that the character was named Dwigt, by saying something like "the incopetent sidekick, Dwigt...". Otherwise, good stuff so far. —97198 talk 11:01, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, tell me what you think now. --Mr.crabby ''''' (Talk) 14:57, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay, I misunderstood the whole misspelling thing but it's clearly explained now :) Everything looks fine and I'm happy to promote. —97198 talk 01:57, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
