Title edit

It is Roads to Vegas. Copyright database lists it as such as well as the title card in the episode itself. --Angry Dad (talk) 02:26, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.

    Prose and clarity issues pointed out below

  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    File:Road to Vegas promo.jpg fails WP:NFCC#8 and should be removed.
    Yeah. I didn't upload that, and Jclemens has already tagged it for removal. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 22:47, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
    I think you meant User:J Milburn, rather than me. Jclemens (talk) 17:02, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
    I was tired. Sorry J Milburn! Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 17:22, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
Plot
  • I don't suppose Dion's show, Celine, is mentioned by name in the episode?
  • "Stewie decides to use the new teleportation device" - makes it sound as though Brian didn't use it. If not, why is he duplicated?
  • What does "Checking in a casino" mean?
  • "their luck makes itself present immediately with Brian hitting a big jackpot" - how about 'Brian wins a large jackpot'
  • "First pair" and "second pair" and "lucky pair" and "unlucky pair" are confusing. I'm not sure which is which, and which travelled by teleportation and which by air.
Production and development

"Directed by Greg Colton, the episode is Colton's fourth Road to... episode to direct..." - choppy. How about 'The episode was directed by Greg Colton, who had previously directed "Road to Germany", "Road to the Multiverse" and "Road to the North Pole".'?

  • "The episode was revealed as the finale of the series' eleventh season with the premiere of "No Country Club for Old Men"." - I read the sources as saying this episode was the penultimate one, and "No Country Club for Old Men" was the finale, but they were aired one after the other.

I am placing the review on hold until these points are addressed. Adabow (talk) 22:25, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

I fixed them to the best of my abilities. Let me know what you think. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 22:45, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Much better. I wonder if you could mention somewhere that this episode and "No Country Club for Old Men" were aired back-to-back and together made the season "double episode" finale. Adabow (talk) 23:40, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
I've added it into the lead and the production and development section. I think that's what you wanted. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 23:47, 13 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
Excellent. Passing now. Well done! Adabow (talk) 00:01, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
