Comment
editIs it me or do the Care Bears in the comparison picture seem a little "too" caring? AlexHOUSE (talk) 21:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
- Huh? What do you mean? The Flash {talk} 02:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
Right here. Note the Bear in the driver's seat, apparently receiving a free tune-up. AlexHOUSE (talk) 17:34, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
- I see what you are referring to, but as noted in the template above, this isn't for general discussion on the article itself, only on further improving its content. The Flash {talk} 16:30, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- Right. I'm not engaging in "general discussion," I'm saying it might improve the article to replace the picture with one that doesn't have quite as much sexual imagery--as funny as it is. If you think it's alright, though, I don't have a problem with it.

- Ah, yes, I understand; the image was the best I could find, but I'll see if I can get a better one. The Flash {talk} 20:22, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
- No sweat. I would have attempted to find one but I am definitely not skilled in the art of image-uploading, or using the Commons, or any of that.AlexHOUSE (talk) 21:06, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer: J Milburn (talk) 00:36, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria Not sure where this fits, so I will put it here- I think the title should be At the Movies (Rugrats episode) instead- I accept it can go both ways. Do we have any MOS guidance on this?
- The title meets WP:MOSTV naming style guidelines; adding "episode" is only used when the title is something like "Mr. Burns (The Simpsons episode)" to differentiate between the two existing subjects. The Flash {talk} 21:45, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, sounds fine. J Milburn (talk) 20:33, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
- Minor notes below
- B. MoS compliance:
- Ditto

- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:
- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
- What is Point of Purchase, and why is it reliable?
- A. References to sources:
- I found the article on a website featuring multiple publications from throughout the country. If I'm not mistaken, it's some kind of print media or other form of publication. The Flash {talk} 03:20, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. Major aspects:
- "The episode received a generally positive response." is based off one review. Do we have no other reviews at all?
- A. Major aspects:
- Unfortunately, that's all there is. Remember, this is an episode of a kids cartoon that aired in 1991. The Flash {talk} 03:20, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- I accept that, but I would say that that means we are not in a position to make the statement. J Milburn (talk) 20:39, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, done. The Flash I am Jack's complete lack of surprise 21:40, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

- B. Focused:
- You seem to really get off the point when discussing Reptar... I get the impression this stuff should be in an article on Reptar, not on this episode. The issue regarding the award nomination is also a little misleading- that nomination was for the video, not the episode, and that is not made as clear as it could be.
- B. Focused:
- I tried chopping it down a bit, so tell me if it's fine now. How would you like me to adjust the nomination? The Flash {talk} 03:20, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- The stuff on Reptar is better. I would be inclined to say the video award does not belong in the lead. I would also say that the line "In 2000, it and the other selected episodes featured in Rugrats: Return of Reptar was nominated for Video Software Dealers Association's Home Entertainment Award for "Outstanding Marketing Campaign for a Major Direct-to-Video Release."" (which actually doesn'ty make sense) Should be changed to "In 2000, Rugrats: Return of Reptar, on which the episode featured, was nominated for Video Software Dealers Association's Home Entertainment Award for "Outstanding Marketing Campaign for a Major Direct-to-Video Release." or something similar. The current wording makes it sound like it is the episodes winning the award, rather than the video. J Milburn (talk) 20:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

- Is it neutral?
- Fair representation without bias:
- Note above about the reviews.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Is it stable?
- No edit wars, etc:
- No edit wars, etc:
- Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- The lead image is excellent and has a solid rationale. I am less certain the other is necessary- the parody can be mentioned in text, and is hardly an integral part of the episode- I'm not sure it needs to be illustrated by two non-free images.
- A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
- Still, I believe it helps give a visual reference to something that is possibly unvisable by certain readers who have never seen neither the episode nor Care Bears. The Flash {talk} 03:20, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but does that point really need to be made? The issue is more a point of interest than central to the episode. I'm really not convinced the images meet non-free content criterion 8. J Milburn (talk) 20:40, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, replaced it with a free-use image. The Flash I am Jack's complete lack of surprise 19:58, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

- Overall:
- Pass or Fail:
- On hold. There are a few things that need to be dealt with here. I have mixed feelings about this article- a lot of the discussion seems to be a little off-topic.
- Pass or Fail:
- Link character names to character lists?
- All characters are linked to either their page or the list. The Flash I am Jack's complete lack of surprise 17:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- "Didi and Stu" in the lead; links there would be good. J Milburn (talk) 20:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- "Reptar! He" Full stop after "!"?
- Yep, the movie is called Reptar with an exclamation point. The Flash I am Jack's complete lack of surprise 17:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, so we need a full stop after the "!", I believe. Just as you wouldn't finish a sentence as U.S. without an additional full stop. J Milburn (talk) 20:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "full stop" then, lol. Do you think you can fix this one? The Flash I am Jack's complete lack of surprise 19:58, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, yes- you'll probably know it as a period :) J Milburn (talk) 00:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
- "who getting popcorn" Who is?
- "including "Reptar 2010" and" A redlink or a link to an episode list would be good.
- "as well as marked the first time" Tense doesn't seem to be quite right here.
- "Official Reptar cereal"- could be rephrased.
- Done when I chopped down the Cultural impact section. The Flash I am Jack's complete lack of surprise 17:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- Post is a dablink
- Removed when I chopped down the Cultural impact section. The Flash I am Jack's complete lack of surprise 17:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- ""Slumber Party."" Link?
- There isn't a page for it, and I don't really see the point in linking to a list that's already right below it. The Flash I am Jack's complete lack of surprise 17:12, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- Fair enough. J Milburn (talk) 20:44, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
- valentines is a dablink, and would more correctly be Valentine's
- Is there not a category for Rugrats episodes? Or one for Rugrats generally?
