[edit] Dubious

"The title is reference to the Star Wars novel "The Courtship of Princess Leia". Really? Wasn't there a popular black and white sitcom about a single dad, his kids and the dad's romances? I know Family Guy's creators are big Star Wars fans but naming an episode after a one-shot book? Lots42 (talk) 15:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it some work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   "Transformers" need to be linked in the Production section. Same section, there's two "the", only one is needed.

I can't see anything relevant to The Transformers gag in the production section. Could you please elaborate on where it, exactly? Qst (talk) 15:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Its in the Production section. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

1. B. MoS compliance:

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   Is there a source for "The reaction to the Peanut Butter Jelly Time scene astonished MacFarlane, as he believes it has become repetitious and annoying after he visited a karaoke bar in Hollywood and the club played it excessively"?

   C. No original research:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   Image:Courtshipofstewiesfather.jpg fails fair use because it is larger than 300x300px and its not low resolution

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.

I'll remove the unsourced statement in a minute, I must have missed that in my watchlist. Regarding the image, you seem to have misinterpreted the non-free content criteria; I have been on Wikipedia for a while now, and never have I seen a potential GA failed on this basis. Albums, episode articles, DVD season articles and many others pass GAC and even FAC with the resolution higher than 300. I can list several, should this be necessary. Other than that, everything is done. Qst (talk) 15:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, that's my bad. ;) Thank you for catching my mistake on it. I would like to congratulate Qst, you know have a GA in your midst. Good work. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
