Fighting Irish (Family Guy)

[edit]

Liam Neeson

  • Three things: The citation fact must be directly cited in the article, and although the episode itself can be used to cite the fact, another source should be used. Second, combining two facts together which are not combined by an external source is synthesis. Third, the sourced content in the article is less that the 1,500 characters required for DYK because the plot is completely uncited. It would help if some of the plot was also cited.

Dr.K. The hook was cited, but at the end of the next line, which may have been confusing. From this source: "This isn't the first time Neeson and his work have been lampooned on the show. Voice actor John Viener poked fun at Neeson's hopelessly unconvincing American accent in the episode "Prick Up Your Ears," while Neeson himself made a brief appearance last year in "Brian's a Bad Father." This episode offered Neeson a far meatier role as an antagonist to Peter." — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Almightey Drill (talkcontribs)
Yes, but the source does not say "despite", that's where the synthesis lies. Can you fix that? Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 23:54, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Brilliant! But I can't pass a hook on my own nomination. '''tAD''' (talk) 05:11, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Could another reviewer sign off on ALT3? Yoninah (talk) 09:01, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
  • The in-article hook does not have the verb "promised" or equivalent. The article curently states that The show's staff were excited by the prospect of having Neeson say any line that they wrote but imo this does not count as a "promise" on Neeson's part. The source has something to that effect but the article has to be modified to reflect it. Sorry about ALT1. When I fist saw ALT1 it didn't quite sound grammatically perfect but given I was on my vacation countdown I thought that any imperfections would be tweaked at the prep area. By the way pings don't work on templates. I just saw this from my watchlist. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 15:55, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
The source says that Neeson "was game" to say any line they wrote. Could we paraphrase that as "agreed" to say? Then we could have:
  • Good to go. Both ALT4 or ALT5 are ok with me. Thank you very much Yoninah for your excelent work. Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 17:53, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
