Wow, it looks like that debate was a "no contest." (From the Law Offices of "Hackey, Joke, and Dunnit") -Hyad 03:17, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I don't get it

The second sentence of this paragraph. What does "this" refer to?

"The winner is not actually confirmed in the episode, although circumstances suggest it was George. This was confirmed in both the season five episode "The Puffy Shirt" and the season six episode "The Race". However, in the final episode, it is revealed that George had actually cheated during The Contest, therefore, making Jerry the true winner."

It is one awkward paragraph. 00:42, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it's all that akward. "This" simply refers to what it was talking about in the second sentence: the fact that George won the contest. <-This was confirmed in both episodes...

I would say that this article contains original research.

[edit] New Quotes

Do we really want to have the whole scene's screenplay written out? It seems a bit over the top to me. What do others think? Sliver85 05:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

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

Image:Georgelay.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.
