30 Rock (season 1)

This is the first nomination for this article, which i'm self nominating. I feel it meets all the criteria but there will probably be some typos and problems with grammar. I've tried to style this article after Lost (season 1) and The Office (U.S. season 3). Some sections, namely the reception sections, may need expanding which is no problem. -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

• Avoid bold links in the lead per WP:LEAD#Bold title.
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Link NBC in lead.
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• "Little Stranger, inc" - reads odd.
  •  Done Changed to just "Little Stranger" -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Avoid squashing text between images per WP:MOS#Images.
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Cast image caption is a fragment so no full stop required.
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• " timeslot of 8/7 central." hey?
  • That's because Central time zone get their feeds from the East coast or something, so if something is at 8pm, it airs at 7 in Central as they're an hour behind. Every station over here says "tonight at 8/7 Central" (The networks in the other timezones offset their broadcasts so it would be at 8pm local time). You are correct in noting it though, as I haven't seen other articles use it -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 15:20, 29 March, 2008
  •  Done Changed to "its timeslot of 8PM Eastern Standard Time" -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Why abbreviate General Electric if you don't use the abbreviation?
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Episode 15 has two titles. Why?
  •  Done NBC initially released the press release for the episode "Hard Ball" under the title "Negotiation" but, they retracted the release and re-released it under "Hard Ball." Also, the WGA labeled the episode as "Negotiation" on its nominations. I've referenced it but, it's inside the quotes due to the template. There is no field in {{Episode list}} for alternative title references, unlike official titles. I've commented on the template talk page about it. -- Jamie jca (talk) 19:57, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
    • I don't see the harm in using "RTitle=", as it still references the differences in title and applies equally to "Hard Ball" -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 00:35, 30 March, 2008

That's about it for me. The Rambling Man (talk) 11:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

• "...originally aired between October 2006 and April 2007, beginning on Wednesday, October 11, 2006 with "Pilot"." is unnecessarily long. "...orginally aired between October 11, 2006 and Apil 26, 2007" gives the same information without the need for repetition.

• Link to NBC in the Lead and remove the link under the Crew section
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Also consider, "the first four episodes aired on Wednesdays at 8:00 pm, the next thirteen episodes aired on Thursdays at 9:30 pm under NBC's promotional banner "Comedy Night Done Right", and the final four episodes aired on Thursdays at 9:00 pm."

• I think the bit Re Tina Fey being a "hyphenate" in the image caption is strange
  •  Done I noticed that was strange when I was moving around the images, I did a little rewording. -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Link Tina Fey in the Crew section
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Is there a link to "staff writers"?
  • No, there's not. -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Is Daisy not a staff writer? It's unclear
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• I think the placement of commas is messed up. I think they're not needed before and after "co-wrote", and one should be placed after "at least two episodes". Alternatively, split it into two sentences
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Should producers be listed after exec producers rather than after writers? I'm just thinking about the order of importance, really.
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• There's some who say the Futon Critic isn't a reliable source. As these are press releases, it shouldn't be too hard to find it elsewhere, such as PRNewswire or Yahoo TV
  •  Doing... I'll have a look now. -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
    •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• I'm not sure naive needs to be linked, and "southern born" should be "Southern-born"
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• On the other hand, if a link to Trucker-hat exists, I think that should be used
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Does Twenty Good Years have a Wiki article?
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• "generally positive reviews" need not be in quotes
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
• Comma not needed at "'Despite Fey's two loses, in acting categories"
  •  Done -- Jamie jca (talk) 20:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
