If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can become a member and contribute to the discussion, or you can edit the article associated with this page.

Tasks you can do: Remember Family Guy characters are not real. Don't nitpick on continuity, because continuity is Family Guy's bitch. Don't attempt to recreate the humor of the show. This rarely works, and is contrary to the purpose of an encyclopedia. Cleanup Add out-of-universe information. Replace explicit references to episodes with episode citations. Move superfluous examples of character actions to appropriate episode pages. Prune Cultural references sections, removing non-notable examples of things no one needs explained. Convert trivia sections into freakin' brilliant prose. Shorten plot synopses. Attach the {{evilmonkey}} tag to "forum" comments on Family Guy related Discussion pages. Identify editors who swap in smart quotes for typewriter quotes and beat them bloody. Build the project Help finish project tasks. Invite quality editors to participate. Welcome new editors. Announce Let other Project members know what you've done!

[edit] Notes Section

• I think at this point the fact about Ricardo Montalban's appearance in other shows w/similiar concepts is useless. However, I don't see any information about how this episode returned despite the WGA's strike still ongoing. Can anyone put info on this?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mcstroke.jpg

Image:Mcstroke.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.

[edit] Cultural References

Please explain if you feel the need to add lines that do nothing more than identify a pop culture item in the show. If a reference needs to be explicitly explained, then go right ahead, otherwise all you are doing is adding to the endless cruft and overdone trivia sections in the FG pages. One of the goals of the WP Family Guy project is to cut down on useless trivia and cruft, not add to it. Adding EVERY song and EVERY celebrity (not to mention real consumer products) will fluff these pages into unreadable mess, as is what is happening with this page.
