GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Comments

• No need to link Ed Helms twice in lead; use "Andy (Helms)..."
• "...to make everyone's Christmas wishes come true, including a drunken Erin" The drunken Erin part doesn't quite work in this sentence (maybe change to "including those of a drunken Erin")?
• Why the mention of "Garden Party" in the lead?
• Lead: ranked... ranked (switch it up); I also don't like the mention of Thursday (sounds too vague), change to "highest ranked NBC series of the night"?
• Who drives away with a smile on his face? Andy or Robert?
• Production: Italicize The Office
• Ratings: Not a fan of the way you list NBC's timeslot competition ('...drama Person of Interest..."). Too many commas I think. Try "beating CBS drama Person of Interest which received a 2.8 rating/7% share in the 18-49 demographic, Fox drama series Bones which received a 2.4 rating/6% share, and ABC reality series America's Funniest Home Videos..." "Although all three shows received more total viewers than "Christmas Wishes"" could be moved to another sentence, or add a semicolon
• Ref 13 has wrong publisher
• Ref 17 needs date (December 9, 2011)
• AOL TV
• Unitalicize Twitter, TV Line, and TV by the Numbers. Do italicize TV Guide
• IMBd is not a reliable source. You can cite those two episodes themselves for Kaling's writing credits
• Any cultural references?

Overall a nice article. On hold for seven days while above comments get looked at. Please respond here when you have finished or have specific queries. Ruby 2010/2013 17:11, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I think I've fixed everything. Only thing I couldn't quite nail down was the cultural references. gGranted, It has been awhile since I've seen the episode, but I can't remember off the top of my head/can't find go reliable sources.--Gen. Quon (talk) 20:34, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Looks good. Passing for GA. Nice work, Ruby 2010/2013 21:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
