Comments edit

Added trivia, the source being the DVD commentary of the episode. Thedoorhinge 01:14, 31 July 2006 (UTC) This keeps reverting back after I have made a minor edit. No 1: Seinfeld definitely mentions Schumann as the composer who goes mad. No 2: Compliment was wrongly spelled as "complement" which is not the correct spelling. No 3: The grammar was poor on the last sentence, repeating "singing to himself" twice in one sentence. Can we therefore keep this edit now?Luckyles 10:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Seinfeld jacket.jpg edit

 

Image:Seinfeld jacket.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA Review edit

This review is transcluded from Talk:The Jacket (Seinfeld)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    In the lead, "...and the show's eight episode overall", should "eight" be "eighth"? Same section, "In the episode the show's protagonist Jerry Seinfeld (Jerry Seinfeld) buys an expensive suede jacket", add a comma after episode. In the Plot, "George Constanza" (Jason Alexander). Why isn't set up for the other characters? You need to have a consistency. Question: How come "Elaine Benes" doesn't have "Julia Louis-Dreyfus" mentioned after the character's name? Same section (plot), "While preparing for the dinner George arrives at Jerry's apartment with the song "Master of the House", add a comma after "dinner". Same section, "George suggests that Jerry could turn the jacket inside out, but because of the candy stripe lining Alton tells him to turn it back", add a comma after "lining". In the Cultural references section, this sentence ---> "making it one of the longest runs in the history Broadway", does not make sense.
    Half-check.
    I had already changed it, perhaps you overread it?--Music26/11 15:06, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
    "...in the history Broadway" doesn't make sense. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:11, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
    Ohhhhh. Changed it.--Music26/11 17:31, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
    Yeahhhhhh. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:34, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    Throughout the article, link "musical", "cab", "AM", "Dillinger", and "Born to Kill" to their correspondence articles. In the lead, please link "NBC" once. In the Production section, "The episode was first read by the cast on November 28, 1990 at 10.30AM", shouldn't there be a space between "10:30" and "AM"? Same section, "...by reanacting a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho" ---> "...by reanacting a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960)", so that it can provide context for the reader.
    Check.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):  
    C. It contains no original research:  
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

  • I've fixed all your comments. About the George (Jason Alexander) issue that you pointed out, I've removed the name and brackets behind the character's name, as I usually have the actor names at first mention (lead included). Thank you for your review.--Music26/11 10:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
    • Sorry for the delay. I had a busy weekend. There's one issue left. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:22, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
      • Thank you to Music for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:34, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Seinfeld episode numbers edit

I've got the DVD box set released in Australia and "The Jacket" is shown as Episode 5 of Season 2.

When it is written as Episode 3 of Season 2 in the article, is that the orignal air date for the episode in the USA, or the order of its original air date? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryce bubbles (talkcontribs) 22:15, 7 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
