Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 23:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
Infobox and lead edit
- Infobox looks good.
- Don't link dinner party, talent show, or swimming pool per WP:OVERLINK.
Plot edit
- Without the names in parathesis, this section is 414 words. MOS:TVPLOT says that episode-articles should be at max 400 words so try removing some.
- Also, some links here and in other sections lead to disambiguation pages, so try fixing those links.
Production edit
- You can't cite WP:IMDB, even if you disguise it as the Internet Movie Database.
Done My bad. Some 30 Rock GAs use that format (e.g. "Emanuelle Goes to Dinosaur Land"). Replaced with a podcast interview with Tafel and an online newspaper interview with Winfrey. Kncny11 (shoot) 17:53, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- "Kazzaz'" → "Kazzaz's"
- Remove the comma after "within the show".
- "with series finale" → "with the series finale"
- "V." → "V".
- The line containing "suicide by jumping" should probably link to "Later", the episode in which the event took place.
- "[i]t felt" → "it felt"
Reception edit
- "an A writing, stating" → "an "A", stating"
- Link IndieWire.
- The first sentence says the episode received praise from "many reviewers", but only two are listed that actually talked about the episode. Try adding more.
- The last sentence has a source from Gold Derby, a website that isn't that reliable. Can a more reliable source be swapped in?
References edit
- Mark references from Vulture with "|url-access=limited".
- Mark references from The New York Times with "|url-access=limited".
- Mark references from Vanity Fair with "|url-access=limited".
- Mark references from Forbes with "|url-access=limited".
- Try linking every website used in every citation.

... that "The View from Halfway Down" gets its name because Raphael Bob-Waksberg needed an episode title starting with the letter "V"?Source: "I wanted to hit every letter of the alphabet, for no other reason than it'd be a fun challenge, and the last one was V."ALT1:... that in "The View from Halfway Down", the characters' meals reflect what killed them in life?Source: "Everybody gets a thematically appropriate meal before the show."- ALT2:... that "The View from Halfway Down" is inspired by the dream sequences in the 1979 film All That Jazz? Source: "I actually saw All That Jazz, which was obviously a heavy inspiration for 'The View From Halfway Down,' the penultimate episode of the series" "'The View from Halfway Down' ... is so close to All That Jazz that it's shocking the often self-referential writing didn't namedrop it"

Improved to Good Article status by Kncny11 (talk). Self-nominated at 23:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC).
@Kncny11: Article promoted to GA on 2 March, long enough, neutral, referenced and no copyvio obvious. Images used in the article are either free or fair use. QPQ not required. I suggest adding who Bob-Waksberg is in ALT0. Also, shouldn't it be title, not name? ALT1 cannot be approved because according to rule C6, the hook must be linked to the real world in some ways if the article is about a work of fiction. ALT2 is fine.

- comment - should there be a clue in the hooks as to whether "The View from Halfway Down" is a poem, a song, a film, a book or a scientific method for sorting belly buttons? Victuallers (talk) 15:28, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Corachow: @Victuallers: ALT0.1: ... that the BoJack Horseman episode "The View from Halfway Down" gets its title because series creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg needed an episode title starting with the letter "V"? Kncny11 (shoot) 20:41, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
