Self-nomination. I have addressed all previous concerns. This list uses templates, is comprehensive, accurate and stable. Most lists of television episodes do not include images and neither does this one. Circeus kindly checked if writers and directors could be linked to their own articles, but most of them aren't notable enough for that and are not linked so as to avoid this list becoming a redlink repository. I think the previous nomination failed because I wasn't around to address concerns after the deadline fell, so I'll make sure I'll be there this time. Rosenknospe 13:12, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support, as I was doing in the last nomination. Circeus 03:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support. Remember to put references after punctuation and a reference for the final sentence in the lead: "The last episode… ended on an unresolved cliffhanger due to the cancellation of the series" would be appreciated. –thedemonhog talk • edits • box 04:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- Punctuation : Sorry, I didn't notice it; I don't usually do that, must be exam nerves ;D Thanks for fixing it. Rosenknospe 16:01, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- Reference :
I'm searching for it.Rosenknospe 10:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)OK, I can find sources that the series has been canceled, but not that the cliffhanger is left unresolved because of this. I'llhave to check the DVDs this evening and fix it tomorrow (I'm in the CET time zone).Rosenknospe 16:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)- Well, after checking the episode, I must blushingly report that there is no cliffhanger at the end. No wonder there is no reference. Curse me and my flawed memories :D I have edited out that bit, so I guess your concern is addressed. Thank you for pointing this out to me and taking time to review this article. Rosenknospe 07:59, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- Support but with a "but" - I've been seeing this as a new trend, and I thought I'd bring it up. In the references there is a "general" reference section and a "notes" subsection. It would probably be in the lists best interest--and really all those other FLs and potential FL's that utilize this style--to source the information in the article, instead of having an external links section masquerading as a reference section. I had to go through each of those sources just to figure out which one actually provided the airdates and production-codes that were not sourced in the lists. Those are two things that are better sourced at the beginning, then making people jump through hoops to sift through each of the sources listed at the bottom to figure out which gives what information. In-text citations are better for verification of sources. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- I have referenced the column headers; is it better that way ? I can also reference all the original airdates, production codes, etc, but I figured it was no use as they are all on the same page in the reference. The productions codes are from the actual episodes; they use a 981XX-2XX pattern, while other sources use a 981XX pattern, so I went for the actual ones instead. I also have referenced the titles but on second thought, maybe it's a bit of overkill ? Rosenknospe 10:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- It isn't overkill. Source #3 will need to go in the lead as well, at the end of the sentence where you say date the series ran from. Upong re-reading, I'd put "The series set in Toronto, Canada and in Paris, France" --this with the next paragraph, the one talking about what happens in the show, and begin the broken sentence with "The series features flashback...". I'm wondering if maybe you need a source when you say "typical" or "common among the franchise". If no one's ever seen the movies, they wouldn't know it was common. What do you mean by "production codes from the actual episodes"? Where were they listed with the actual episodes? 11:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bignole (talk • contribs)
- Source #3:
Done - Sentences: Done I have kept the past tense for consistency.
- Sourcing typical: Done
- Production codes from the actual episodes: Sorry, I should have better explained. I meant, when you watch the episodes, the production codes in the closing credits are patterned 981XX-2XX, whereas in the sources they are patterned 981XX. Now I'm unsure which one I have to keep. Anything else ? Rosenknospe 13:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
- Gotcha. Use the episode's code. As for past tense, all fiction articles should be written in present tense, unless the series was completely destroyed. It looks like the rest looks good. BIGNOLE (Contact me) —Preceding comment was added at 15:46, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
