[edit] GA review

A lot of this article seems to be rehashing of episode summaries and in the end, not a lot of it seems necessary. For example, "Pete did his best to comfort her, but Kathy rejected him, and Pete then tried a hard-line approach, simply telling her to sort herself out." I have never seen an episode of this show, so maybe it was an important scene, but it doesn't seem necessary in a biography of this character. Some of it could be better written, ie. "Just when the matter seemed closed, Pat revealed that not only were Kenny and Pete possible candidates for Simon's father, but Den Watts, who Pat had also been sleeping with at the time, was also in the running. Pat later ruled him out, but then cryptically demanded that he sleep with her, or it would be spread around that he was the father!"

There are also only four sources, none of them online. I usually like to see at least a couple online sources because they are easily verifiable. Finally, is the family section really necessary? Perhaps there could just be a link to a similar page?

Apologies, but I'm going to fail the article for the time being. Keep working on it and it will be of GA quality soon enough. -- Scorpion 04:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pete rose EE.jpg

Image:Pete rose EE.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
