GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
I'll be offline over the weekend, so I won't be able to respond to any comments until Monday. If you disagree with any of my comments, don't hesitate to argue them - I'm willing to be persuaded. Once complete, I'll be using this review to score points in the 2018 Wikicup. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:03, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Lead
- The second sentence is clunky. I suggest "Six episodes aired on GSN between June 15, 2003 and July 27, 2003.", but there are other ways to fix it.
Fixed. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- "The show proved to be ill-fated as it placed..." - wordy. I suggest simply "The show placed..."
- Fixed. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

- Format
- no concerns
- Production
- "The series green-lit " - is Green-light a verb? I usually hear "was green-lit", but I'll defer to your judgment here.
Added "was" --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- "The series was also GSN's first attempt..." I don't think also is needed here.
Removed --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- "Woolery himself was at first..." himself isn't needed.
- Removed --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Please like the Osbournes and Anna Nicole Smith to the articles for their reality shows.
- "The series green-lit " - is Green-light a verb? I usually hear "was green-lit", but I'll defer to your judgment here.
- Episodes
- no concerns
- Reception
- "a similar series that aired on GSN several years later" - please specify the year
- Added --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- I think the CNN quote should come last, since it was made well after the others.
- Moved to the end of the paragraph--Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Lingo should be italicized in O'Dell's quote
- I don't think the "Reality Stinks" section head is needed for the Babar quote.
- Removed --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- "a similar series that aired on GSN several years later" - please specify the year

- Lead
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- no concern
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- Source 11 has an access date of 2008. In the (unlikely) event that is not a typo, something more current will be needed for the claim the show has "never been released" on home media.
- This was a typo; I just added that access date last night. I have amended the issue. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Source 11 has an access date of 2008. In the (unlikely) event that is not a typo, something more current will be needed for the claim the show has "never been released" on home media.
- B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
- no concern
- C. It contains no original research:
- no concern
- D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
- Earwig returned a high result (40ish percent) for one source, but it was due to properly attributed quotes. No concern.
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
- Do any sources say when the episodes were filmed? The only dates given in the article are for greenlighting and airing.
- Not that I can tell. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking.
- Not that I can tell. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- How did the show air in relation to Lingo? Did they air back-to-back? Were the game episodes paired with the reality episodes that featured behind the scenes information?
- It would have made sense to me if they aired in the same block, but I can't find anything that details the exact programming schedule or how the two aired in relation. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 17:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Do any sources say when the episodes were filmed? The only dates given in the article are for greenlighting and airing.

- A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
- Is it neutral?
- It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
- no concern
- It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
- Is it stable?
- It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
- no concern
- It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
- Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
- A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:
- no concern
- B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
- image needs a caption and WP:ALTTEXT
- I've been told in the past that captions for show logos/title cards are unnecessary (none of my other GAs or FAs have them). I have added the ALT text though. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 15:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- That works for me.
