Improvement drive

[edit]

In my on-going effort to improve all Sesame Street articles (a huge undertaking), I have decided to work on this article. I was requested, in the GAC for History of Sesame Street, to include more information about the international versions and co-productions of The Show, and during my research, I realized that a more prose-y article needs to be written. To that end, I changed/moved the title of this list, since SW has always referred to them as "co-productions". I'll probably also remove the lists here, because prose would better fit the subject and because the lists just plain wrong. For example, the list of co-productions here are far more than twenty, which is the number cited in both the excellent documentary, "The World According to Sesame Street", and in the "G" is for Growing research book. Improving this article also removes the decidedly US-slant of the main parent article, and furthers the goal of fighting systemic bias. --Christine (talk) 22:51, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the Production section, third paragraph, "...created they own traditional puppets" do you mean ---> "...created their own traditional puppets"? In the 1970s section, "...and was broadcast in 22 [Arab countries" is that bracket needed?
    Yes, and no. Fixed both. Thanks for the catch. Christine (talk) 22:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Check.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the History section and throughout the article, "The World According to Sesame Street" ---> "The World According to Sesame Street" since it's a documentary film, and because films are suppose to be italicized, and might not hurt to link the article. Same section, you might want to add that Sesame Street airs on PBS, for those who don't know about Sesame Street. In the 1970s section, shouldn't "Open Sesame" be italicized? In the 2000s section, shouldn't "Sabai Sabai Sesame" be italicized as well?
    Half-check.
    Check.
    Dude! I was working on this, and you edit-conflicted me! So on the ball! ;) Christine (talk) 22:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    My bad, I was updating your progress and stuff. ;)
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    File:TakalaniSesame-set.jpg needs a lower resolution.
    Done.
    Check.
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    Not that much to do. If the statements above can be dealt with, I will pass the article. Good luck!

Easy enough. Most of what you caught were silly, embarrassing little errors. Thanks for the review. Christine (talk) 22:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's alright, we've all been there when someone shows us our mistakes, don't worry about it. You are welcome for the review, just doing my job. Thank you to Christine for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 22:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting article

[edit]

Found this article [1] from a Seattle news outlet that may prove to be helpful. It's kind of a fluff piece, but it may be worthwhile to look for the research it talks about. Christine (talk) 13:40, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proper lists

[edit]

I will being planning to add in a Proper list of SS for each country. its not easy to see direct links, Any objections.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you're talking about creating a list of co-productions by country, that's been done before and was changed as per WP:EMBED. In other words, Wikipedia frowns on embedded lists when prose can be used. Christine (talk) 21:59, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the first poster a list would be useful. An alphabetical list by country at the end of the article would make it much easier to see which Sesame Street versions exist worldwide, how many there are, and where they are, etc. The Wikipedia policy you are reffering to, says: "Embedded lists should be used only when appropriate; sometimes the information in a list is better presented as prose paragraphs." Notice the words "only when appropriate" and "sometimes". Furthermore; lists and prose don't have to be mutually exclusive, right? Why not go for both? A list would be appropriate in this case, for reasons of clarity. Where it says "sometimes the information is better presented in paragraphs", I think you should read that prose is appropriate when extra information can be added. That extra information is present in the prose part of the article right now, which does not mean a list wouldn't be useful too. Greetings, RagingR2 (talk) 12:15, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I respectfully disagree. My interpretation of this policy is that prose is the best choice, so that's what I and the reviewers have chosen to do. I also understand that it's best to go for one over the other. Personally, I think that adding both are redundant, something else we should avoid in an encyclopedia. I'd imagine that if this article ever gets to FAC (which it might, with additional research, if it's out there), the reviewers there would have us choose, and recommend prose. That's my opinion, anyway. Christine (talk) 17:32, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

HIV-Positive Muppet

[edit]

I'm not sure this, "The first HIV-positive Muppet, Kami, was created in 2003 to address the epidemic of AIDS in South Africa, and was met with controversy in the US" really belongs in the intro. I have no problem with it being on the page, I just don't think it is something that really belongs in the intro section. 96.31.177.52 (talk) 22:49, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First off, it's customary to place new headings on the bottom of the page; an easier way is to click on "New section" in the tab at the top of the page. Secondly, you're going to have to give me a better reason than "I don't think..." I think that the sentence in question belongs in the lead, since Kami is the most famous character from the international productions, and the controversy is something that most readers will remember. It's okay if you disagree, but I need stronger reasons for your opinion, please. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:40, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

New UK Version?

[edit]

Apparently There Making, Sesame World, In The UK And Ireland. It Will Be The First Multilingual* Version Of The Show (It Features English , Welsh, Scottish And Irish) Its Also The Second Version To Have More Than 1 Language (The First Being The Philippines Version) The Second To Air In The UK (The First Being SSUK, If Im Not Mistaken, Another SS UK Show Exists) And The Second To Air In North Ireland (The First Being Sesame Tree).

  • Multilingual, Like Bilingual But With 3 Or More Languages.
Source? Really, this is cool but we need to have a reliable source for this to add it to the article. If you provide at least one, I can help you add the info. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:07, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Sesame Street

[edit]

The first reference to Sesame Street Canada is in the 1990s section, but it should be in the 1970s; as the article itself notes, they started airing it in 1972; it wasn't till the 90s that a separate production was launched, Sesame Park. I was going to be make the changes myself until I noticed this is the spotlight article for today so I will refrain and let an admin or other authorized person make the change. 136.159.160.8 (talk) 18:12, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
