Name problem[edit]

Typically US-centric: Booze Cruise has been used for donkey's years in the UK for a ferry trip to buy booze and cigarettes in France, then the whole category gets hijacked by just one episode of a second-rate US TV 'canned-laughter comedy'. Can someone create a disimbiguation page linking to 'booze cruise' (the original source of the phrase) because I don't know how to do this (yet).

It needs to list:

Booze cruise (UK Colloquialism for ferry trip to buy alcohol, tobacco etc)

The Booze Cruise (UK television comedy drama)

Booze Cruise (an episode of the US version of "The Office" sitcom)

I'll create one, because I didn't realize Booze cruise (with the lower case c) was already listed. But "Canned laughter comedy"? There's no canned laughter at all in this comedy! Williamnilly 15:43, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have you even watched the show, because if you did then you would know it doesn’t feature a laugh track and if you haven’t then you have know right to call it “a second rate comedy”.--72.146.210.253 15:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I watched half of one episode, which was enough. It was abysmal compared to the original Ricky Gervais version, and not even funny by American standards. I can't remember whether it had canned laughter or not, but on balance I think that it must not have, because canned laughter becomes very obtrusive when there is nothing funny happening on the screen.

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 16:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is that Ed Helms?[edit]

At approximately 12m15s in this episode, which I downloaded from iTunes, a character with a straw hat and a white collared shirt is looking at Darryl. Is it Ed Helms? This episode is in season 2, before Ed Helms joined the show as Andy Bernard. 70.36.139.66 (talk) 02:39, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB lists a different actor as "tequila man." So, no. 70.36.139.66 (talk) 05:24, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Booze Cruise (The Office episode)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

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

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
These sentences, in the Plot section, ---> "The Dunder Mifflin crew goes on a "motivational" cruise on a Lake Wallenpaupack ship Princess, captained by "Captain Jack" (Rob Riggle)" and "The boat's captain puts Dwight Shrute (Rainn Wilson) in charge of a fake wheel, which Dwight thinks is real", are a little hard to understand, it would be best for them to be re-written. Same section, I know who Katy is, but how 'bout the person that reads this article.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
In the lead, it would be best to add (NBC) after "National Broadcasting Company". It would be best to link "Dunder Mifflin" in the Plot and it wouldn't hurt to link "Greg Daniels" in the Production section.
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:

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
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):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
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:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.
