GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Homer's Night Out/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi, I will be reviewing your article, Homer's Night Out. It looks very good. There is a typo that I'll just fix myself. I will be posting further comments here.Please feel free to contact me. —Mattisse (Talk) 20:48, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Bart wanders into the room" - this is another room than the restaurant, I take it, a party room of some sort? This part is a little vague for someone unfamiliar with the episode.
Since you describe the costumes of the "showgirls" under Production (and have a still of a costume), it would be better if you described their presence in the plot more clearly.

Otherwise, the article seems to fulfill the criteria for GA. I will give a full review when you respond. —Mattisse (Talk) 21:10, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I have made some edits now, let me know what you think! =) TheLeft orium 06:33, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:LINK#Dates, autoformatting of dates is now depreciated so I delinked them. —Mattisse (Talk) 15:39, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thanks! BTW, I noticed that in the ratings paragraph the date says "19-25 March March 1990", shouldn't it be "19-25 March 1990"? TheLeft orium 15:47, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Sometimes the script screws up. I check it visually but don't always catch everything. It needs to be corrected. —Mattisse (Talk) 16:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
