Will start review soon. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 16:48, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Looking at the refs:
- Why are Maclean.ca, IslamOnline.net, Buzzle.com, Advameg, Inc, AVRev.com, Realmovienews.com, TeenHollywood.com reliable?
- Digizine link seems dead.
- If the YouTube video is a copyvio, you should cite wherever the original interview comes from and not link to youtube. Maybe it's an official channel for something, I don't know.
- World Net Daily You may want to rethink it's use. Up to you. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 17:11, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- You said you're busy on my talk page. I'm in no hurry, but the quickest thing for you to do would be to just remove those refs and their associated sentences. For any you want to keep, just find me an about page that says they have editors as well as writers. I checked several of them, and they didn't have much to indicate reliability, but unfortunately I didn't make a list of the ones I checked. Anyways, no hurry, and if someone else is going to help, just direct them to this page. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 23:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- IslamOnline does indeed seem kind of "collection of blogs"-ish. The sentence stating that Cartman is the butt of fat jokes is what it references; I'm sure I can find a better source for this. The Buzzle article cites its own sources (a Knoxville newspaper and Eonline); I'll see if I can find the same info from those two. I removed the Advameg and YouTube sources, as they were additional sources to sentences already ref'ed. Realmovienews refs something that's kinda crufty...might be best to just remove this portion entirely, and try to squeeze in a bit more RW info? As for Macleans and TeenHollywood...they are both articles that contain big interviews with the creators of the character; reliable enough considering the circumstances? Ugh...Digizine link pops on and off from time to time, but this time it appears to be gone for good ...will try to find a replacement. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 02:01, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds good. Tell me when you're done, and I'll continue the review. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 02:07, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- The interviews are fine. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 02:08, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
- [1] Replaced two of the iffy refs, and removed the others which really weren't necessary (as well as accompanying prose/cruft in one case). - SoSaysChappy (talk) 10:21, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Refs look good.
"When all the boys stay over at Kenny's house, Stan seems to be the only one that doesn't bad mouth Kenny or show any discomfort which shows that Stan is probably Kenny's best friend. Kenny also considers Stan as his best friend, professing that he's one of "the best friends a guy could have" Sounds a bit WP:ORish.
Do you have a ref to back up "In this short, Stan is given his first name, and first appears as he does in the series. Stan next appeared on August 13, 1997, when South Park debuted on Comedy Central with the episode "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe"."
The really small paragraphs should be merged into larger ones.
Prose looks good.
File:StanMarsh1.svg should be scaled down to 300px wide. Same with File:SouthParkStanInRobe.jpg
That's it. Fix these issues, and you've got a GA. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 19:03, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- All righty...removed the OR (must've snuck in there), though did leave in the one sourced quote (from Kenny) so that a background to his relationship will all three other main characters could be established (will remove this too, if necessary). I just removed the specifics from Stan's appearance in the second short and re-worded (one can determine that his look differs from the first short from watching, but I couldn't find a decent source to verify this). Combined paragraphs and scaled down images. Cheerio! - SoSaysChappy (talk) 01:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- That's a pass. Great job! - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 02:43, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
