Hi, I'm Music2611, I'll be reviewing this article.--Music26/11 11:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Lead

• Looks good, no problems here.

Plot

• First paragraph, "...he explains to the children" at this point only Candace has been mentioned.

• Not true, it's mentioned in the first sentence of that paragraph.

• Fourth paragraph, "...the band are again" should a band be adressed as multiple people?

• Yes, as they're not yet officially reunited.

• The note regarding the the birthday and anniversary does not have to be in bold letters.

• Removed earlier, useless trivia given my another user.

Production

• There is a gigantic reference problem here, but I'll list those in the ref section.
• I think the final paragraph (which is a bit thin) would fit better in the reception section.

• Removed due to being only sourced by TV.com.

Reception

• Only one review? Aren't there any other critics who reviewed the episode, or season two?

• See my mention bellow on how this show gets about no media coverage - I will check once more, hopefully this was given a mention somewhere.

• Is there any info regarding Nielsen Ratings, if you can find any, you could combine that info with the paragraph from the production section and the Emmy stuff, which would make a decent paragraph.

• Nope, not that I know of. Like I stated below, this is very thinly covered by most anyone, only TVBytheNumbers ever covers it's ratings, but not for the episode

• Legacy subsection, remove the word "problably" per WP:AVOID

• Done.

References

• The number of unstable refs the article contains makes me doubt about putting it on hold.
• The IMDb is an unreliable ref.
• You can't just cite the episode ending credits.
• TV.com is unreliable.
• Piczo Movies seems unreliable, as does the big cartoon database.

• Okay, first off, most GAs I've seen do cite all of them. Now, while several people have told me IMDb is unreliable, most tell me that it is reliable for credits. I'll have to agree with the whole TV.com thing. I think the last two you mentioned are sufficient, non-user run news/credits website. Now, onto the opening/ending credits, let me start off by saying I have searched everywhere - this is not at all a show that has DVD commentaries for every single episode, production books, guide books, or PBS documentaries on the entire production cycle of an episode - far from any, in fact; only few websites have interviews/production info and only IMDb gives the actual, true writing and directing credits. No sites at all give the true style of credits, which are one person writes the story while another constructs it to a storyboard that actually has every last big of dialogue created for it, so IMDb is the only, rather thinly, reliable source available any where besides the show's credits itself. This show gets zero media coverage outside interview websites, which give little to nothing on specific episode's credits. Not even the official website does so or the DVDs, as this is a kids show and Disney laughs at including these things in either. I hope you understand what a dilemma this is and how these are the only actual reliable sources, and thanks for the review!

• Looked around a bit, and you appear to be right, I understand that it's frustrating when you are unable to find a good source for the writers and directors. Maybe you could use this ref for reception (I know it's not much, but Marsh cites the ep as his second-favorite.) Also, here are some reviews I found for the series in general (there's more where that came from through Google News). Oh, I almost forgot, the Variety, Just Press Play and Newsarama refs don't have accessdates. You should know I usually put GA reviews on my watchlist, so you don't have to send me a message.--Music26/11 13:24, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks! There's also a Comic-Con video where the cast/crew list their favorite eps, I'll see if they mention it in those. Also, thanks for understanding! And sorry about messaging you, had no idea it was on your watchlist, I'll remember next time! :) The Flash ^{talk} 15:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

• I've added an extra info on the two's updated favorite list, which still includes this ep. :) The Flash ^{talk} 21:12, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

• Ref formatting/accessdate fixed. The Flash ^{talk} 02:22, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

• Great. I'll pass this article for GA then. By the way, I like your new signature.--Music26/11 10:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for both the pass and the compliment! :) The Flash ^{talk} 15:28, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Images

• The image in the production section is redundant because there is already an image of all three band members in the infobox.
• An image in a television episode infobox should display the show's main characters, not one- or two-time characters such as Love Händel, even though they played a relevant part in the episode (if you decide to remove or replace the infobox image the production section image can stay of course).

• Um...alright, never heard of any such, honestly, ridiculous thing like that before, but will do done.

• Yeah, it's kind of an annoying guideline.--Music26/11 13:24, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

• Yeah, especially for episodes like this when the minor characters are the main one :P The Flash ^{talk} 15:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

That's all. I'll put this article on hold for a week, good luck with solving my comments.--Music26/11 11:53, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
