GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
Couple things

"It was written by co-executive producer Jack Burditt, and directed by Michael Engler." No comma needed.
- Removed. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:30, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is/Was Katrina Bowden, Lutz, and Keith Powell guest stars? Cerie and Lutz played lesser roles in the first season, but it's hard for me not to see Powell as a main cast member. I see that Screenrush doesn't list them as main cast members,
- They didn't get star billing until season two, so with season one they were guest stars.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):

Should this have a cultural references section? Some of these have them, some don't.
- Only if something cultural is being referenced.
Shouldn't this article make some mention of how it starts off one of Liz's largest overarching stories (wanting a baby) that lasts all the way to the third season in Do-Over?
- Do you think so?

I think so. It's basically the largest story arc (along with Floyd, Dennis, and maybe Dealbreakers) that 30 Rock has ever had. Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:42, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Alright. What should I say? You know I'm not good with "creating my own stuff". -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:50, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just something simple under production like "This was the first of several episodes to reference Liz's desire to become a mother. This plot came to a head in the third season episode "Do-Over" in which Liz attempts to adopt a child.[source]"
- Has been added. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:37, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
As with the earlier review, could use a screenshot, can take one if you want.
If you got one, it'll be a big help.

Done. Also, forgot to mention this in the other review but your images in The Head and The Hair need alt text (I added some for this image, fix it if you want). Staxringold _talk^contribs 20:40, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not good with alt text. If you got a suggestion, I'll roll with it. Your alt text is fine here. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:50, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Overall:
Pass/Fail:
On hold for a couple things.

Thanks for the review. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:30, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Passed. Staxringold _talk^contribs 23:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
