Ratings[edit]

Just a note to the editors, the actual references for the ratings need to be inside the list of episodes table to avoid a cite error on the List of Parks and Recreation episodes page. Just having a rating name label is not sufficient to avoid the error. I've fixed it up again so there's no problem just now but I think it's something people need to be aware of. Thanks.

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 Crew section, "...co-writer of the two Austin Powers" you might want to say the Austin Powers movies or something, leaving it like "...co-writer of the two Austin Powers" kinda doesn't make sense. In the Writing section, "...and attended at Los Angeles City Council meetings" is "at" needed?
    Done. — Hunter Kahn 21:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Check.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Episodes and Critical reception sections, please link "Paul Schneider" and "Salon" to their correspondence articles. In the Writing section, please link "California" once. In the Filming section, there's a period missing in the February 18, 2009, date. I believe the "s" in southern California should be capitalized, in the same section, it's after the February 18 date. Same section, the Amy Poehler quote, "For every show, there could probably be a second show of stuff we've edited out, needs quotation marks. In the Critical reception section, instead of "Salon" why not put "Salon.com". In the Ratings section, link "Nielsen Ratings" once, please.
    I think I got everything, although California is already linked once in "The show's writers spent time researching local California politics..." and likewise for Nielsen Ratings in the first sentence of the section, "The Nielsen Ratings slid consistently downward throughout..." — Hunter Kahn 21:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    In the second paragraph of the Writing section, "The Parks and Recreation staff worked with a number of consultants familiar with local government work, including Scott Albright, a California city planner who provided feedback for the Mark Brendanawicz character", California is linked. In the Ratings section, its linked the first time, but then "However, Parks and Recreation declined almost every week in the Nielsen Ratings for the rest of the season", its linked again.
    Ok, I've dropped the wikilinks for the second references to both of those. — Hunter Kahn 04:19, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    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:
    File:Parks and recreation season 1 cast.jpg needs a lower resolution.
    I'll do this one as soon as I get home tonight. — Hunter Kahn 21:55, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Dropped the resolution; let me know if that's enough! — Hunter Kahn 04:19, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    That's fine.
    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!

      • Thank you to Hunter K. 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) 17:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Episodes Next to Cast[edit]

I am going to add the number of episodes next to each character's name, similar to that of Community's character page. If you feel otherwise, please post here before changing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.229.43 (talk) 21:04, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
