Wow what a nice article, very informative. As a self-confessed citation nut, all I can say is that I'd like to see a citation for:

"As of 2011, all 52 episodes are in reruns on Cartoon Network and Boomerang." in the lead,
At least one citation in the Overview section,
"A total of fifty-two episodes were produced in four seasons. The series originally ran from November 12, 1999 and ended on November 22, 2002." in the broadcast section
citations for the statements in the broadcast history,
Citations for the other releases section

All this information had to have come from somewhere LOL, Cheers and great work! Keetanii (talk) 03:00, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information. At least someday I should get into GA or FA standards for one day. :) JJ98 (Talk) 05:44, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

General

WP:ALT may be added to images.

Lead

"The segment was nominated for an Academy Award[1]" -> no citation in the lead, the information is supposed to be below

"The series premiered on November 12, 1999, ran for four seasons, and ended on November 22, 2002." -> Personal comment: I'd reworded it as "The series, which premiered on November 12, 1999, ran for four seasons, ending on November 22, 2002." or something similar

"As of 2011, all 52 episodes are in reruns on Cartoon Network and Boomerang." -> too short for an own paragraph

I feel that it is too short, it summarize its content?

Overview

This section is extremely similar to this, especially "Courage the Cowardly Dog revolves around the exploits of Courage, a small, fuchsia dog who, despite his name, is afraid of the most mundane things". I recommend you to use your own words and avoid this because it can be seen as a copyright violation.

"greedy farmer who harasses Courage. He usually harasses Courage" -> redundant

Production

Courage the Cowardly Dog began -> since, as far as I know, it was not intended to be a series, another verb would be better, such as "created" or "intended"

a de facto pilot -> a de facto pilot

"(in a still-later episode, the single-bodied, triple-headed sons of the alien chicken attempt revenge, but only because their mother won't let them in the house until they kill Courage[4])." does not reads encyclopedic.

"the short was nominated for an Academy Award.[1]" -> which award?

"The studio produced 4 seasons with 13 episodes in each season until the last original airing on November 22, 2002." -> unsourced

"Original music featured in Courage the Cowardly Dog...several weeks to compose.[7]" -> This paragraph is apparently based in one source. Two things a) is this source reliable? I believe it is not, and b) are this paragraph sourcing all the paragraph?

Broadcast history

Unsourced section

Episodes

"A total of fifty-two episodes were produced in four seasons. The series originally ran from November 12, 1999 and ended on November 22, 2002." -> already mentioned and unsourced here as well

References to Dilworth

Dilworth -> overlinked

a delivery truck -> unsourced unlike the others

which references him.[11] -> redundant

"Often a caricature of himself (named Dilly) can be seen in the background, e.g. a portrait of himself hangs on the Bagges' wall by the stairs and on a milk container with the missing person's question "Have you seen me?" written underneath" -> unsourced

Reception

imaginative - they -> imaginative—they

CGI -> link it

References

Reference 4 needs more information per {{cite episode}}

Reference 7 is incomplete

Reference 8, 20, 21, 22 are unreliable sources

External links

Courage the Cowardly Dog Wiki, hosted by Wikia -> WP:ELNO

This is one of my favourite animated shows, ans unfortunately, its main problem is sourcing. There are many unsourced statements, and some unreliable references. Also, it does not meet the WP:GA?´points 2 and 3. An example of an animated TV show which is a GA is South Park. Use this articl as an example of the work missed.
