Comprehensive, up to date, and meets all other Featured List criteria, after heavy expansion the past few days. Corresponds with other Featured Lists List of 30 Rock episodes, List of Lost episodes, List of Heroes episodes, etc. Thanks. -- Wikipedical (talk) 05:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • A nomination should have three paragraphs IMO. Many paragraphs are small, and are detracting from the readability of them. Perhaps merge some.
    • Actually, the featured list criteria don't say anything about how long the lead must be, although in general we don't like leads that appear stubby. WP:LEAD doesn't seem to say that all leads must be three paragraphs either; in fact, it says some should be of a lesser size if the article is short. On a glance, I don't have an issue with the size of this lead, although I agree that merging one or more paras would lead to a more attractive appearance.

      • This issue does not appeared to be fixed. TBrandley 22:02, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • The lede has three paragraphs now; wasn't that the issue? -- Wikipedical (talk) 23:17, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add a thumb and a description to the lede image
  • Lede image should have alt text to describe what is actually in the image
  • "aired" clarify that it was the original airing by making it "originally aired"
  • The second paragraph of the lede shows a lot of "The first season consists of 22 episodes, which premiered on November 2, 2003 and concluded on June 6, 2004. The show's second season premiered on November 7, 2004 and concluded on April 17, 2005". All of the sentences are very simlar, making it weird/awkward to read.
  • ref should come after punctuation, ref 2 currently does not, just move it to the end of the sentence
    • That ref is citing the statement in the middle of the sentence. -- Wikipedical (talk) 20:47, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I know that, but, it should still be at the end of sentence. TBrandley 22:02, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "has been nominated for a variety of different awards including twenty-two Primetime Emmy Awards (six wins for the series, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2004), eight Television Critics Association Awards (three wins), three Golden Globe Awards (one win), three Writers Guild of America Awards (one win) and three Screen Actors Guild Awards." Why is there no reference for any of those awards? They have to be referenced
  • "and was cancelled by Fox". When? Could you clarify please?
  • "new season consisting of 10 to 13 new episodes". Remove "new" from "new episodes"; it's repetitive with "new season"
  • Add plainrowheaders to the top of the series overview table
    • plainrowheaders is optional, and I've chosen to leave it out as it's more consistent with other List of...episodes lists. -- Wikipedical (talk) 20:47, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I did it myself, due to the next edit. Other FLs were promoted before the updated guidelines were created. TBrandley 22:02, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • series overview table does not MOS:DTT, need to add row and colscopes to ensure it does
  • It makes more sense to place "network" under originally aired in that overview table
  • "DVD release date" Missing an "s" at the endSmall text
  • "Episode list" → "Episodes"
  • 2003–2004, 2004–2005, 2005–2006, should be written as 2003–04, 2004–05, 2005–06, as per WP:YEAR
  • You don't need sentences based on what is already in that table for episodes, and is already above. You can add some parts of that (like The series' final four episodes were shown in one two-hour block against NBC's coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics opening ceremony) to the lede, and remove from the episode list itself
  • NBC, should be "National Broadcasting Company (NBC)" only on its first use, as per MOS:ACRO
  • Ref 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 18, 20, 21, 59, hyphens should be an en dash, per WP:DASH
  • Why does it say that "Amazon.com" and "Amazon.co.uk" are the work, when they clearly published the information
  • How is "dvdloc8.com" a high-quality reliable source?
    • So this is the only website that lists Region 4 dates. Should I remove Region 4 entirely? -- Wikipedical (talk) 20:47, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref. 3: Change "Huffington Post" to "The Huffington Post", then link it
  • Ref. 4: Link "The Huffington Post"
  • ABC Medianet is the publisher, not work, for references
  • Change Metro to work, then link Metro
  • TV.com doesn't provide anything that isn't already in the Internet Movie Database. Perhaps replace with epguides, since it has production codes that IMDb actually don't have TBrandley 15:45, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Six years after the series..." would prefer show or sitcom to series
  • ref 24 to 33, hyphens in date ranges should be en dashes
  • ref 68, is there a better source than Metro for this, its not exactly the most reputable source
