Working definition

"Seasons of Lost" contains articles for each season of the show, Lost - rst20xx (talk) 01:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vital improvements

Lost (season 4) while need to be promoted to GA-class by 2008-08-29 three months since the finale aired.

No problem. Three months seems almost too generous and I expect it to be an FLC by mid-June. –thedemonhog talk • edits 17:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I was wrong, but we probably will have it at FLC in the next two weeks. –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This topic now fails criteria 1.d. and 3.c., as Lost (season 5) needs to be audited for quality and added to the topic. The topic has 3 months from the date of creation of that article, or until 2008-10-26, to re-meet the criterion.

Additionally, the topic will have three months from the airing of the season 5 season finale to get Lost (season 5) to GA/FA, or the topic will fail criterion 3.b. - rst20xx (talk) 22:39, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Potential improvements

None - rst20xx (talk) 01:38, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update. ;) –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible additions

Lost: Missing Pieces could be added immediately - rst20xx (talk) 01:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that this would be more appropriate in a main Lost topic. –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think it would work in both, in many ways it's effectively a mini-series of Lost and I'm sure you wouldn't have any problems getting it included if you decide you want to add it. But it's up to you! rst20xx (talk) 14:42, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If articles were of sufficient standard for each episode, this topic could be expanded to an "Episodes of..." topic - rst20xx (talk) 01:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This has been our goal. So far, ten of twelve fourth season episode articles are good or featured. –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This topic could be expanded into a general Lost topic, with the addition of Lost (TV series) and its subarticles - rst20xx (talk) 01:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, too many holes. Only four out of fourteen are good are featured. –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A sister "Characters of..." topic could be made - rst20xx (talk) 01:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Not for a while, as only four of thirty-three plus articles are of good status. –thedemonhog talk • edits 02:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And similarly, ones for the cast and crew could potentially be made in the distant future - rst20xx (talk) 17:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note, that I've recently started to work on Lost credited cast members becoming GAs (or FAs), and I've created a Lost cast members list wich I plan to get up to FL status in order to get it up to a Featured Topic. If anybody wants to help, feel free to do so. --Music26/11 17:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See this page if your interested. --Music26/11 18:50, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All articles...

...are not featured. Obviously, the multi-star icon is inappropriate. I'm not sure how to remove it, thought, the template wasn't very clear. Teh Rote (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As season 5 is not in a permanent state (i.e. it will either become featured soon, or the whole topic will be demoted), the template is correct - rst20xx (talk) 14:42, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
