[edit] Dunder Mifflin

I am going through several articles and changing instances of "Dunder-Mifflin" to "Dunder Mifflin" (no hyphen) as it is the proper "spelling" of the company name (see Talk page at Dunder Mifflin). Just leaving a note to say that I've gone through this page. :) Fieryrogue 19:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TheOffice(US)2-01.jpg

Image:TheOffice(US)2-01.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] GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:The Dundies/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. I've placed the GA nomination on hold. Here is my initial review:

  1. The first picture's fair use rationale is substandard. I find it easier to use {{Non-free use rationale}}. RedThunder 23:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  2. The last sentence of the lead implies that Pam gets drunk before getting in an argument, which is not the case. RedThunder 23:46, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  3. I'm not sure that I'd describe Pam's speech as emotional. Belligerent is probably a better word. RedThunder 23:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  4. The review that is in box quotes is more about comparing the US series to the UK series. Instead of the box quote, how about summarizing with Seb Patrick of Noise to Signal, while comparing the US Office favorably to the UK version, writes...? RedThunder 23:38, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  5. Why does the article only describe the Nielsen ratings for the 18-49 demographic?
    It is the only one available that the press release blurb displayed, and the only one that NBC uses for press releases. RedThunder 23:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
    Sounds good. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 23:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  6. Refs 2 and 3 are IMDB, which is not a reliable source. RedThunder 23:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  7. Ref 6 is to Office Tally, which is a fan site and not a reliable source. The link provided for Office Tally itself links to a bunch of press releases detailing ratings for The Office. Just find the right press release and link to it. RedThunder 23:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't believe that point 4 has been adequately addressed. What I want is for the part of review pertaining to this episode to be paraphrased (and trimmed down). I'm sorry if I was unclear. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 00:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I was unclear, but I wanted it significantly trimmed. I took care of it myself. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 00:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I just did my final read through of the article, and I am pleased with what I see. I'm listing it. Ice Cold Beer (talk) 00:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
