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:
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Plot, you might want to correctly link "bra" to its correspondence article. In the Cultural references section, Image:Shakespeare.jpg needs to be on the right, per here. Same section, italicize "Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act", per here.
    • All done except for the Shakespeare picture. Where in MOS:IMAGES does it say that it have to be on the right?
    "It is often preferable to place images of faces so that the face or eyes look toward the text."
    Okay, I've moved the images around a bit now. —TheLeftorium 20:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  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:
    In the Reception section, is this ---> "When Homer arrives at the Bouvier house to pick up Marge for the prom, Selma tells Patty "Marge's dates get homelier all the time," to which Patty replies "That's what you get when you don't put out", part of Colin Jacobson's review? If so, might want to add the ref. next to the sentence.
    • No, that's part of Dawn Taylor's review.
    Oh, that's my bad.
    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:
  3. 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):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. 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:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Not that much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!
