# Talk:Christmas Party (The Office)

Creed ended up with the shower radio (deleted scene between Creed and Oscar).

When Kelly attempts to kiss Dwight he pulls back and says she "shouldn't do that. Amanda's supposed to do that." It's obvious he meant Angela, but was this a goof by Wilson, by the writers, or intentionally wrong? Mac OS X 14:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
"The man is supposed to do that."[1] The Dwight/Angela relationship is still secret; he certainly wouldn't reveal it to Kelly. -- Raymondc0 14:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I understand point two, but "the man" makes less sense, unless it's a joke that's clearly over my head. Mac OS X 19:10, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Dwight's code of chivalry requires the man to initiate romantic overtures. -- Raymondc0 00:12, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Raymondc0 is right. Dwight is saying, "The man is supposed to do that", implying that the man is supposed to kiss the woman at first, and not vice versa. Savvy10 (talk) 21:58, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

It says here that Angela was angry because her efforts weren't recognized. However, she broke the ornaments outside the office after Kelly kissed Dwight. It seems more likely that she was upset that Kelly was kissing Angela's man. Savvy10 (talk) 21:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Article is both neutral and stable. Images are used appropriately. One fair use image which is used to illustrate the subject in a way that a free image could not.


### Specific Improvements
Lead

"the office throws a Christmas" - missing word (Party)
wikilink Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series and Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series
"The episode received critical acclaim from critics" - two words used which are inherently derivates of the same base. Would change to "critical acclaim from reviewers".
I'd also specify in the image caption that Kate Flannery is an actress, not a character - i.e actress Kate Flannery.
Plot

"received Pam Beesly's (Jenna Fischer) name for the first time this year". This creates a tense conflict and also dates the article. I'd simply change to "receives Pam Beesly's (Jenna Fischer) name.
"Michael Scott" is spelled wrong!
"staff guns" is far to colloquial. "staff competes"?
Production

"driving force of the mayhem" is written twice, once as an unsubtantiated sentence
Reception

Perhaps mention the audience scorecard for the Television Pity review?
All those points aside, this a comprehensive and interesting article which is also concise, and accessible to someone who isn't familiar with the show. I found it very interesting to read never mind review.
On hold for seven days. I'd have no problems passing this as a Good Article once a few minor faults are ammended. Eshlare (talk) 20:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
I believe I have addressed all of the issues. I didn't add the audience scorecard, because I feel that, since it isn't peer-reviewed, it shouldn't be included. Other than that, all better.--Gen. Quon (Talk)  22:13, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
