I am nominating this for featured article because I believe it meets the FA criteria. It just went through a Peer Review and an has undergone several copy-edits by several experienced copy-editors, who performed a final lookover. Thank you. Gage (talk) 02:01, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

• Ref 21: Likewise http://www.avclub.com/articles/homer-the-whopperpilotroad-to-the-multiversein-cou,33389/

The A.V. Club, at least, should not be a problem. P. S. Burton (talk) 23:49, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

• OK, but you should show that the publisher of the A.V. Club website is Onion Inc. Brianboulton (talk) 18:28, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

• Done. Gage (talk) 22:45, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Otherwise sources look OK. Brianboulton (talk) 16:35, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

• Support I've seen the episode and read the article. It doesn't seem like anything is wrong with this article. I'd pass this but that's just me.----Nascar king 22:43, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
• Support - The sources look good, the prose seem fine, and I believe that this article is as good as North by North Quahog. GamerPro64 (talk) 18:07, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
• Support A well-written article. Good job. Ωphois 20:23, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

• Support Comments
• "From left to right: Brian, Peter, Stewie and Quagmire in the Disney universe sequence." The article goes back and forth on using the serial comma, go through the article and select one method so the article is uniform. I don't think a period is necessary either for the caption.
  • Done. Gage (talk) 19:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
• "Directed by Greg Colton and written by Wellesley Wild, the episode was originally aired on Fox in the United States on September 27, 2009." "episode originally aired" and remove the wikilink for U.S. Go through the rest of the article and see if there are any other common terms that should be delinked.
  • Done. I attempted to look through the rest of the article for other terms to delink. If you see anything else you feel should not be linked, please feel free to remove it, or alert me, and I'll remove it. Gage (talk) 19:38, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
• "though this episode was not originally a "Road to" show." "was not originally written/conceived as a"?
  • Done. Gage (talk) 19:42, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
• Seth MacFarlane is wikilinked twice in the lead.
  • Done. Gage (talk) 19:42, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
• "Series regulars Peter Shin and James Purdum served as supervising directors, with Andrew Goldberg and Alex Carter serving as staff writers for the episode." Lot of serving here, maybe reword one of the occurrences.
  • Done. Gage (talk) 19:47, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
• "which previously worked on the first seasons of Robot Chicken." Is that the "first season" or the first few "seasons"?
  • The only wording that has been used to describe the company's relationship with the show is first seasons, or first few seasons. Should "few" be added to the article? Gage (talk) 19:49, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

    I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a mistake and should have been solely the first season or if it was actually the beginning seasons. No need to change it as long as it's accurate. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:26, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Not too many issues here, and these should be easy to fix. Let me know if you have any questions. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 05:11, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

• Support Very good article,well written, well referenced. --Pedro J. ^{the rookie} 22:44, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

• Image review All images have appropriate provenance and licensing. Lead image is non-free, but is suited for use in this article, and has an NFCC justification for use here. Magic♪piano 20:46, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
