As a note, a large chunk of this article appear to be cited to Joseph Barbera's autobiography. This is not wrong, per se, just something that other reviewers should be aware of and watch for unintential bias.

Here's what I found upon reviewing this article: The article's done in the same format as the now-FA William Hanna, so I tried to keep that in mind, since I found some semantics that I didn't care too much for. The numbers after the citations for the book page numbers irk me for some reason. Granted if no one else has had issues with them then I won't worry about them. The sentence "He worked on cartoons such as Cubby Bear, and Rainbow Parades and also co-produced Tom and Jerry; who were a couple of boys, unrelated to his later cat-and-mouse series." feels run-on-ish. Or maybe it's just the comma after Cubby Bear, which is unnecessary (i'll remove it myself, no need to worry). The sentence "The two brought different skills to the company; Barbera was a skilled gag writer and sketch artist, while Hanna had a gift for timing, story construction, and recruiting top artists." feels like it needs a citation, though maybe I'm just being bureaucratic. It seems like the idea is cited in the legacy section, though not in those words. That being said, this was a really enjoyable read, not often I can read an article all the way through without a problem these days. My only concern(s) are quite minor, so I feel comfortable Supporting this for an FA. I think I put edit #50,000 to good use. Wizardman 16:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
