editDoes anyone else notice that Don Argus is name of the retiring chairman of BHP Billiton, the world's largest mining company? Is that just a co-incidence or is it intentional? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.157.122 (talk) 21:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- The only sugguestion I have is in the production section. Paragraph three begins stating: "An actual peacock was featured here." I think it would sound better if you start it by stating "During the episode Jack Donaghy inherits Argus, Don Geiss's beloved pet peacock." then state an actual peacock was used, then speak about the feathers hitting her face and puppeteers being used. It's up to you how you would like to word it of course.
- In the reception section italics need to be added to IGN and Aol's TV Squad
- Comment IGN and TV Squad are websites not magazine publications, so they shouldn't be italicized (Per WP:MOSTITLE). - JuneGloom07 Talk? 22:46, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- I think I got it, not sure. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yes that better so that's done with now.RAIN the ONE (Talk) 23:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- No #:::Dablinks so that's fine. Checklinks reveals that ref numbers 10 and 13 change domain. Don't think that's even a problem though is it as I think that website always comes up on the checker, you can strike the comment if you think the same.
- The Star-Ledger's publisher is missing from ref 20. The same for Paste's publisher in 21.
- Yeah, the IGN sources always function like that. Well, the thing is that if I add the publisher to those two refs. then I got to do with all of them, and I'd rather not. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:39, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- It's probably best to add them all in then. All readily available information.RAIN the ONE (Talk) 23:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Done. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:52, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
