- Pass or Fail:
- Pass.
- Pass or Fail:
- Fix section Personal life (MOS:PARAGRAPHS). The number of single-sentence paragraphs should be minimized. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading. Either this section should be merged into the previous section, or else more information on the character's personal life should be added.
- Rearranged.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:28, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Puffery (WP:PEA)
- Use a different heading for section Critical acclaim. Many FAs on fictional characters refer to "Reception" or "Critical reception", which would be more neutral.
- done.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:29, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Use a different heading for section Critical acclaim. Many FAs on fictional characters refer to "Reception" or "Critical reception", which would be more neutral.
- Synonyms for said (WP:SAY)
- Fix "Parker further notes that". What follows is his interpretation, so a verb like "assesses" or "opines".
- O.K.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:31, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Fix "Laura Bennett of The New Republic notes". This is really an opinion.
- Fixed.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 00:34, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Fix "Parker further notes that". What follows is his interpretation, so a verb like "assesses" or "opines".

Merger proposal edit
In April 2017, an editor created a new page called List of Veep characters, which is actually an unfinished version of a different Selina Meyer article. I'm going to propose merging that article into this one, and I'll ask the editor who created that page what they think. -- Danny (talk) 21:23, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
- Redirect List of Veep characters to here without merging. That page is a long-standing unfinished unreferenced orphan best treated with WP:TNT; redirecting as an alternative to deletion. Klbrain (talk) 20:46, 25 October 2018 (UTC)
