1. Well written?:

Prose quality:

Manya reacts angry doesn't make sense. Try to which Manya reacts angrily.
When, after the dinner should probably be After the dinner, when.
Isaac informs him that Manya had forgotten all about it sounds like a fragment.
When it starts to rain Jerry realizes that the game will be postponed same as above.
Seinfeld co-creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld wrote the episode. The episode's premise was based on a remark David once made during a conversation. "The Pony Remark" is the first episode in which Kramer wants to gamble, it is later established that he has a gambling addiction. The idea of Elaine asking Isaac what is going to happen with his old apartment was added during rehearshals. The episode's director Tom Cherones, deliberately made Elaine sit at a smaller table, while directing the dinner scene. Sounds like a collection of thoughts rather than a paragraph.

Any suggestions to how I can change this?--Music26/11 16:28, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds better in my opinion since the thoughts are together and flows better.--Giants 27(c|s) 18:39, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--Music26/11 19:16, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was changed back to Helen later. It was later changed back to Helen sounds better in my opinion.

Manual of Style compliance:

Everything should be linked once for example: Morty Seinfeld is linked twice.

Everything is linked once in the lead and once in article, with the exception of red links.--Music26/11 16:28, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
