"which he believes would still be on the air had Fox not pulled the plug" hahaha 160.39.190.180 04:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the statement certainly has a firm grasp of the obvious. Someone has to choose to stop the series, so yes, it would keep going unless someone pulled the plug... SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't something be mentioned about the 'dotcom' group? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.234.201.111 (talk) 16:56, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what happened to the section on The Terminator, but I can't make heads or tails of it anymore. Warberd (talk) 04:18, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

who was Greed's announcer?[edit]

Was the announcer for greed a prerecorded voice? Or someone in person off stage/camera. I've never seen chuck refer to him. Not even say "thank you so and so" as he at least did with Jay Stewart or Charlie on scrabble---- no1inthere —Preceding unsigned comment added by No1inthere (talk • contribs) 16:23, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The announcer from Greed was Mark Thompson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.228.56.16 (talk) 19:42, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added archive links to one external link on Greed (game show). Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it.

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

Reviewer: Some Dude From North Carolina (talk · contribs) 12:32, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 12:32, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead[edit]

Improve the non-free rationale for the poster with this template.
- Done. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is the "approx." note needed? If it is, can it be referenced?
- Removed the note, most hour-long shows range from 42-44 minutes without commercials, Greed included. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of using "<br>" and "<br />", use "plainlist" per the rules on the infobox.
- Done. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That being said, I couldn't find any issues with the lead.

Gameplay[edit]

"each individual team member" → "each team member"
- Done. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Prior to the $2,000,000 question" → "Before the $2,000,000 question"
- Done. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The last sentence in #Greed:_Million_Dollar_Moment needs a reference.
- Added. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Production[edit]

"hinting a" → "hinting at a"
- Done. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Other than that, every other section looks good.

Reception[edit]

"in order to avoid" → "to avoid"
- Done. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Don't try to rely too much on quotes per WP:RECEPTION.
- Done? Let me know if you need more here. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Archive all archivable sources (either manually or with this tool).
- Done. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Optional, but try linking websites in each citation.
- Not exactly sure what you mean here, the only website I could think of adding to the episode citations would be YouTube for the handful of episodes that are available, and the refs for the book sources link to the bibliography section already. --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bcschneider53: It just means that for example, if a source is from the Chicago Tribune, to link it with "|website=[[Chicago Tribune]]". However, it is optional, and all my other suggestions have been addressed, so I am passing the article.

Progress[edit]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:
· · ·

@Some Dude From North Carolina: I believe all points have been addressed, please don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything else from me. Thanks for the quick review! --Bcschneider53 (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
