The Office (U.S. TV series) season 2

[edit]

This list was previously nominated by another user for FL-status on April 17, 2008, and was deemed to fail the criteria on May 2, 2008. I have worked on the list significantly, and I believe that the list is now FL-quality. Mastrchf (t/c) 17:41, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Both of the dashes in the infobox have been changed. Were there any others that should've been changed? Mastrchf (t/c) 18:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that's it for now. Gary King (talk) 18:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • "...four DVDs in Region 1..." do you mean "four Region 1 DVDs"?
    • Same for Region 2 - perhaps "released for Region 2..."?
    • In infobox, any reason why Anamorphic is capitalised?
    • Last para of the Production section is five choppy sentences - I think the flow can be considerably improved.
    • Cast image caption doesn't need a period and it should be sized per WP:MOS#Images, so just thumb - ie not having its size forced.
    • Carrell image needs the upright parameter instead of being forced (per the MOS) and currently overlaps the episode synopsis section. You could move the image up a section if required.
    • sixty-seventh -> 67th.
    • On that note, in general numbers above 10 are written numerically per WP:MOS.
    • In the synopses, no real need to repeatedly wikilink the same writers/directors etc. The table isn't sortable so linking the first instance is probably enough.
    • "The two are cold to each other throughout the day, until as a show of good faith.." - I think I'd move the comma to after the until...
    • "...talk business. But later,..." - merge.
    • "He takes suggestions from the suggestion box..." - maybe takes "ideas" so to avoid repetition?
    • What makes ref [3] a WP:RS?
    • Several refs (e.g. [8], [11], [12]) could have date and author fields added - check the others.
    • Amazon is linked in the refs - why not New York Times, USA Today etc?
    • Ref [28] looks a little malformed right now.

Comments

  • No need for the content of the See also section. All the links are in the Navbox
  • I don't think it's necessary to use "National Broadcasting Company". NBC would do for me.
  • You could explain what it is though, such as "national terrestrial television network
  • "The second season was released in a set which contained four DVDs. The set was released in Region 1 on September 12, 2006.[3] It was also released in Region 2, on January 28, 2008." → "The second season was released in a four-disc DVD boxset on September 12, 2006 in Region 1,[3] and January 28, 2008 in Region 2."
  • Some of the episode summaries need expanding. The first episode's is especially in dire need of help. Two sentences isn't really enough for a half hour show, and definitely not for a 40 minute show.

Support, though I think "Airdate" in the table header would work just as well as "Original U.S. airdate". Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Airdate does work much better, I went ahead and changed it. Mastrchf (t/c) 15:47, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
