GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   Well done.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   Is About.com a reliable source?

I think it is. Technically, the URL is animatedtv.about.com, albeit Airport '07 got passed with it in, and I think its reliable. However, I must admit that I think (quite sure its not, but I should mention this) if it is about.com that is a mirror site of Wikipedia. I don't think it is, as the site looks different, but I would encourage leaving this up for a few days to get some other comments, and I'll act on them. Qst (talk) 17:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Alright, no pressure. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:47, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Just commenting here as I've been asked to provide a second opinion. About.Com is part of the New York Times Company. They have a defined ethics policy, have a set of standards for guides writing on the site and a clear compensation and editorial control policy. In addition, Nancy Basile (the reviewer) has her own bio page detailing her history in journalism. As the article uses the reference to talk about the reviewer's opinion, I'd suggest that it'll be fine. Hope this helps, Gazimoff 13:04, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Gazimoff. Yes, as you stated, I did ask for an honest third opinion via IRC. Thanks again. :-) Qst (talk) 13:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

1. D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

2. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

3. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

4. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

5. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

6. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the above statement can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

I would like to thank Qst for being patient in this review, but it needs to be clear that I was just doing my job of making sure that the article met GA standards. With that being said, congratulations, you know have a GA in your midst. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:18, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Garrett Morris

Hi, Qst. As you said, McFarlane acknowledges that the person is from Saturday Night Live. The wiki article on Morris that I linked to states that one of his characters was "Weekend Update's 'News For the Hard of Hearing' translator, who simply repeated each line while shouting." Furthermore, the last line of the scene with him is "Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow," which is how Chevy Chase ended Weekend Update in those days. It shouldn't take more of a source than that, right? I could be wrong, I'm just saying it seems clear enough from what I've cited, and it's an important fact for people to be able to look up here.

Firstly, I'd like to applaude you for coming to the talkpage, rather than blindly reverting me - this is a much more constructive alternative. Down to business, I'll try to find a reference that he is from The Saturday Night Live show and plays this charcter, and if I can find a reliable one to cite in the article, then I'll add it back in. Cheers, and again, thanks for bring this up. Qst (talk) 18:41, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Sounds great. Actually, I did put it back in last night, but you can take it out again if you feel it needs better sourcing. I can give the source-finding a shot later this week, too, maybe, but if you find one first, so much the better! I realized the connection after watching a recent episode of SNL - right after George Carlin died they replayed the first episode ever (which he hosted), and Mr. Morris was a part of that Weekend Update. Hey, maybe that'll help you find something too.

And yes, it's always better to actually discuss stuff like this. I've been at least tangentially involved in a lot of C.R. issues, and it's great when the discussion stays productive. Choiniej (talk) 19:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Fatal Attraction References

there are several more fatal attraction references, and only one is listed. The scene where meg is sitting in the corner turning the light on and off is a replica of a scene from fatal attraction with the same music. Also meg says several lines from the movie when brian is tied up. 99.240.129.1 (talk) 19:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

seduced

I hate to be "that guy" but is seduced really the right word when somebody knocks someone unconscious and ties them up to have sex with them? I know its odd to call it rape when its in a comedy but that is what it is and not really seduction. just a thought i could be wrong i guess. sorry forgot to sign 174.42.145.253 (talk) 06:29, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Song during the first dance?

Can someone identify the song that was used when Meg and Brian danced? Where she says something like, "Oh my god let's dance, this song is so awesome!" Was that also Annie Lennox's "Why"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.41.202 (talk) 10:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Songs

The two songs that feature at Megs dance are "Hold On To The Nights" Performed by Richard Marx and "Why" Performed by Annie Lennox.122.59.65.235 (talk) 18:12, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
