[edit] Good article nomination on hold

This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of March 29, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:

1. Well written?: Some minor style errors, but handled those myself (For example, best to write "Do not" rather than "Don't", unless it is an actual quote)

2. Factually accurate?: Article contains good references.

3. Broad in coverage?: Does not cover everything. For example, the article does not say where the episode title is referenced from.

4. Neutral point of view?: No sign of bias

5. Article stability? Little sign of edit wars.

6. Images?: A little confusing. I would recommend using {{Non-free use rationale}} to make it clearer.

Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. ISD (talk) 10:24, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't find a reliable source to back up the episode title being a reference (although you and I both know it is, it needs to be referenced.) I'll skim through the DVD commentary again, but if its not mentioned - there is nothing more I can do, unfortunately. Qst (talk) 16:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm stuck now - as its not on the DVD and no reliable sources can confirm this. If you would to input here, please feel free. Qst (talk) 16:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, switch over to Template:Non-free media rationale = Y Done. You may wish to provide some input on the other issue, if you feel it would be necessary. Qst (talk) 17:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Pass

The GA criteria says that the article, "addresses the major aspects of the topic and stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary details". I feel I can therefore let this past, although I would suggest that if you wanted to try and promoted to the article to FA, you would need to find a reliable source.
