Why does each episode need it's own article? This seems like major, non-notable, overkill here. Tedernst 07:31, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's an episode from a TV series of tremendous cultural importance. Who the heck appointed you to label things "non-notable"? ShutterBugTrekker 19:18, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"tremendous cultural importance"??? I love the show, but in a few years when its cancelled you will realize that it had zero impact on our culture. eLeigh33 03:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:FGTheSonAlsoDraws.png[edit]

Image:FGTheSonAlsoDraws.png 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 ensure 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.

No, no!!! This is the only picture of the episode we have, if you remove it we will have nothing, please think of the consequences. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 14:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Native American stereotypes...[edit]

Removed the line "The episode is full of Native American stereotypes that many Indians would find insulting" under WP:POV. Somestrangeflea (talk) 15:01, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no need to make a whole section about it. Edit summary is there for a reason. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 22:24, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


Man, I haven't watched this season in years. I'm going to have to dig out the dvds post haste.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    Few fiddly bits to see to. Nothing huge.
    " including those centered around Happy Days..." -> "including references to Happy Days..."
    "in contrast to the remaining episodes" -> unless this specifically means the episodes aired after this one, I would change it to "the other episodes".
    Your plot section should probably explain who each family member is briefly. For instance, open with "Chris, the family's teenage son, hates...". These articles are likely to be read out of context at some point so a bit of exposition in each one helps explain things to non-viewers.
    "Production" has a lot of "this episode", maybe change some to "the episode" or "The Son Also Draws" just for variance.
    Retitle "DVD release" as "Home media", as there'll eventually be blu-ray and whatnot.
    One of your refs (6) is the only one cited to the book you've got listed. You could just include the book there as a single citation if you want. If you'd rather keep it as it is, you'll still need to change the "pp. 32" bit - "pp." specifies pages, so it should be "p.32" instead.
    B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:
    MOS is fine.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    C. No original research:
    Referencing is fine. You'll want to see to ref 6 as above, but it's only a grammatical error, not a mis-citation.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
    Scope's fine. You've got a nice "Cultural references" section which is cited and in prose, which can be a rarity.
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
    Neutral.
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
    Stable.
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
    Images are grand. Both used correctly. One is commons and not a problem, the other is fair-use with a solid rationale.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    95% ready to go. Just going to hold this one while the problems with 1a are sorted, which should add up to about 5 minutes of editing all told.
Done. Pedro J. the rookie 23:03, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed it is. Fixed the ref thing for you, it was just a case of changing the "pages=" field to "page=" instead, I probably should have made that clearer. Still, article has passed. Well done! GRAPPLE X 23:18, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
