Talk:Joking Apart

message: I apologize if I wasn't too courteous, I reviewed this article around 1:30 in the morning and was a bit tired. Most of the article's issues have been addressed, but please take a look at some clarifications of a few of the points found below. Once these are addressed, I should be able to pass the article. 
*Concerning point number 5, it's great that there is an inline citation but the wording of the sentence is confusing. Do you mean that he says this directly at the audition, was reflecting back on it in a later interview, or something else? For example, you could write: In a later interview Bathurst stated that "I don’t think it was entirely jocular" or "at the time, Bathurst replied "I don’t think it was entirely jocular". As it stands now, it's difficult to determine the setting of the statement.
*For the 11th point, if it is a quote, it would probably be best to include it in quotation marks and declare who said it, just so the reader isn't initially confused or required to look at the inline citation.
*About the issue with the Emmys, it would be best to have it clarified for the readers, but if there is no further information, then I wouldn't worry about it. I also looked at the article for the citation, and it doesn't go into detail.
*For the categories, I just thought there should be more than one, it looked kind of bare down there. But this should be sufficient what you have added.
Some of my suggestions were not just for qualifying for GA, but just to improve the quality of the article in other aspects. The article covers the details well and it's good to see that you addressed these so quickly. Again, once you finish these, please let me know on my talk page and I'll head right over. --Nehrams2020 02:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you; your comments have been really helpful in improving the article. (Oh, and I commented when I was tired too, hence I might have been a bit moody.) The JPStalk to me 11:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

message: At this point, I have passed the article as a GA according the GA criteria. Continue to improve the article, making sure all newly added information is properly sourced and neutral. Keep up the good work, and if you have the time, please consider reviewing an article or two at GAC to help with the massive backlog. --Nehrams2020 16:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA passed

message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I made one or two minor edits - nothing worth putting the article on hold for - and there is still the odd statement that could do with an explicit citation, but I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. There is also one iffy link (Coupling Season 4), which is not only given as requiring registration, but seems to go to a Dr Who forum...
The article history has been updated to reflect this review. All the best, EyeSereneTALK 10:08, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
