# Talk:Traveling Salesmen

Is there a reference to the 40-Year Old Virgin when Michael is using his computer to talk dirty to Jim and Pam?  He makes it say "Me so horny, me love you long time"  Doesn't he say that in The 40 Year Old Virgin?  It might be something else, it sounds so familiar.
It's a bit of a common phrase.

...are unnecessary as the preceeding paragraph now has all the nicknames, which although funny weren't really a major component of the show.

I think this is an important episode that shows Dwight actually cares about Jim and vice versa.  When Dwight is leaving the office, Jim greets Dwight in a friendly manner then Dwight hugs Jim.  Karen asks Jim what happened on the sales call.  I'm trying to find a reference so I can put it in the article.

Michael's interview "Michael Scott: Fool me once, strike one. Fool me twice, strike three."... Could that be a play off a similar Bushism?

Could we possibly get a screenshot of Jim's picture with himself and Dwight "from the old days"?- JustPhil 15:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I am going through several articles and changing instances of "Dunder-Mifflin" to "Dunder Mifflin" (no hyphen) as it is the proper "spelling" of the company name (see Talk page at Dunder Mifflin). Just leaving a note to say that I've gone through this page. :) Fieryrogue 16:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

This page can be moved to simply Traveling Salesmen (i.e. no parenthetical) as it isn't being used for anything. 138.69.160.1 13:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I disagree with this method. If most episodes use the parenthetical, then using it in a search term should allow one to find all related articles. It could be argued there are more efficient methods of finding a particular episode, but applying a policy of naming consistency will allow the most basic search method. --LeyteWolfer 03:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe these were taped at the same time, and both were directed by Daniels. Schur is credited along with Stupnitzky and Eisenberg, who work as a team. Anyone know if Schur wrote one "episode" alone, while the duo wrote the other? 98.150.201.231 (talk) 08:33, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

### Checking against GA criteria
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): 
"The old picture of Jim and Dwight was a photoshop of Krasinski's real high school photograph with a 1991 image of Rainn Wilson while he was on tour with an acting company." Maybe re-word? I'm not sure I understood who's head was photoshoped onto what.
"In his review of the third season, Travis Fickett of IGN highlighted a scene of the episode; he commented, 'Watching Andy slowly meltdown when he can't find his cell phone is one of the better moments of the season.'" Didn't this take place during the events of "The Return (The Office)"

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
Ref 13, OfficeTally is citing an official NBC document, but it is a fan cite. Might I suggest you cite the actual NBC press release? The only thing that isn't there is the url, which seems to be broken. (Just because I'm nice, the citation template would look like: {{cite press release |title=Jan. 17, 2007 Press Release ("Traveling Salesmen")| archiveurl =http://www.officetally.com/the-office-nielsen-ratings/2| archivedate =10 October 2008|url= http://www.nbcumv.com/entertainment/release_detail.nbc/entertainment-20070117000000-nbcratingsresults.html|publisher=NBC|date=27 February 2007|accessdate=23 January 2012-01}})

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
Thorough coverage, no sign of trivia
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 
Neural POV
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 
No edit warring
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): 
Two pictures, properly tagged. I really like finding pictures for the infobox. Maybe add one of Dwight and Angela together or the scene where Dwight leaves and note how it relates to the episode
Overall:
Pass/Fail: 
On hold for seven days for above issues to be addressed.--Gen. Quon (talk) 00:56, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the response delay. I have implemented your recommendations (including uploading a new screenshot; let me know what you think). Thanks for the review! Ruby 2010/2013 02:20, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Well done, I pass this!--Gen. Quon (talk) 04:03, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Andy was just being Andy by acting cool and trying to 'big up' Dunder Miflin. He's too much of an idiot (and a simple one at that) to plan something that intricate. What is more likely is that he tried to cover up his blunder by naming it after Dwight, thus throwing his co-worker under the bus. 2600:4040:45AB:C00:B021:BD9B:13E4:6E49 (talk) 17:43, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
