Reviewer: Zanimum (talk · contribs) 21:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC) Okay, so I'll take a look at this. While I look, please clean up the brief overview of the 1980s and 1990s. You don't need to cover them as intensely as you've covered more recent years, in order to get GA status, but my copy paste job and refs need a good scrubbing. -- Zanimum (talk) 21:48, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

December 30 review[edit]

Ref 10 needs cleaning up.
Infobox: For EP and producers, was this for the 2012 broadcast? I'm wondering if this should be clarified.
If the first few were on Queen Mary, was it immediately after that they first filmed in Times Square?
Ref 25: This interview is quoted in the DVD audio commentary?
"the 2006 edition also featured a live performance straight from Times Square by Mariah Carey—the first of its kind in the show's history" Whoa, that blows my mind. Just a comment, not any sort of review suggestion or anything, just stunned.

If I may suggest a long term goal for the article, perhaps a second article called List of performers on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest, or List of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest broadcasts, something to record the performers, on-air personalities, that sort of thing in unedited, so that you can start to prune the main article to be more "pow" than prose-form lists. But that's neither here nor there, something for 2013 and beyond.

Appropriate use of images, including only one fair use image with proper fair use rationale, generally well-structured prose, it's nearly ready for GA status. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:28, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: "If the first few were on Queen Mary, was it immediately after that they first filmed in Times Square?"; What I'm trying to clarify here is that, it seems as if the "pre-recorded from Hollywood, then the live ball drop in Times Square" format had existed since the beginning. Producers are well, as of now. Also, that Treehouse of Horror X citation got accepted in its own article without a quote (and that one's GA too). But still, GA on New Year's Eve would be an appropriate tribute. ViperSnake151 Talk 03:20, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the delay, I've been spotty in my time available to the Internet of the last little bit. A delayed "pass" for the article. -- Zanimum (talk) 18:32, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
