Overall, in this article, I see lots of curly quotes, when regular ' quotes should be used, rather than ’ curly quotes
Whoops. I think I got them all now.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did a little copy-edit
Thanks!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"don't", "doesn't". Don't use contractions. Write out fully as "did not", "does not"

"Lotto" was written by co-executive producer and frequent series writer Charlie Grandy." reference?
It's the one after the Krasinski info. I bundled it at the end rather than repeat it.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The official website for The Office", don't think that's important to the subject
I've only included it because all of the other season 8 articles use similar language. I don't want to start using a different format randomly in the middle.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps add TV rating from NBC.com

Ratings: What channel was it on? It's nowhere to be seen.

Why do some references use the UK format (Ref. 17), and some use US format? Please only choose one
I think they're gone now.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ref. 2: "The Office, season 8" Season should be in capitals, since its like that on the URL

Double quotes (") should be single quotes ('), as per WP:MOS guidelines

Is "Screencrave" a high-quality source?
It has and editorial staff and I've used it for various other articles (mostly these season 8 ones) that have passed GA. If this was going for FAN, probably not, but for GA, it should be good enough.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Some references have publishers, some don't. Please add to all of them, or remove from all of them
Fixed.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:49, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
