Talk:Littlest Pet Shop (2012 TV series)

Merge?

Ok...a merge with Blythe Loves The Littlest Pet Shop is somehow overkill since both of them were different. The one were all webisodes while this is a true animated series. I think Merging won't be a good idea.--Blackgaia02 (Talk if you're Worthy) (talk) 03:13, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Okay. Redirected both Blythe Loves The Littlest Pet Shop AND Blythe Loves Littlest Pet Shop to Blythe (doll) JSH-alive/^{talk/cont/mail} 10:55, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Marketing

I think it's too early to speak about this show's fandom. Instead, we need to look at Hasbro and The Hub's effort to gain attentions from Friendship Is Magic fans. They intentionally spilt some info like voice performers, music composers, production company, etc etc. JSH-alive/^{talk/cont/mail}

Sunil Nevla species

Sunil was probably intended to be an Indian mongoose, not an African banded mongoose, as he speaks with an Indian accent. Yes, he is drawn with bands on his back, but I suspect that the animators just did not do their homework. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.187.192.131 (talk) 22:40, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Good article status for LPS (2012 TV series)

I assume this article was supposed to be a good article rather than the original article. I might nominate this article go to GA status right now. --Allen ^{(talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me)} 03:24, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Allen, could you hold on that? I'm a major contributor to this, and I'm planning on expanding it and cleaning it up further pretty soon (maybe this weekend if I'm lucky?). Thanks! ₂₃W (talk · stalk · pend) 03:44, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

@23W: Okay, just make this into GA status. --Allen ^{(talk to me! / ctrb / E-mail me)} 03:51, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

List of characters

Hi @Liso20:, thank you for your recent edits, however I have reverted the ones you submitted here. It's nothing personal, though! Our Manual of Style for Television says that we can either have a Cast section, or we can have a Characters section, but we should not have both. We already have a Cast list. If you think that you can work out a List of characters that improves upon the existing cast section, then that is worth discussing, and maybe we can swap out the cast section instead. We don't need to list all the characters in the series, only the most significant ones, and we typically present it in a fashion similar to this (totally made-up content, BTW):

• Janedemere (voiced by Gwynneth Fyerrh) is a powerful blacksmith who supplies the team with all of their equipment. She is next in line for the throne of King Douglas.

In order for there to be a reason to remove the cast list, I think we really should provide more information in a character list, for instance by describing what their chief character traits are. Hope that helps, thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:36, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Littlest Pet Shop (2012 TV series)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: J Milburn (talk · contribs) 10:40, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Happy to offer a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 10:40, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

• "The company had produced an earlier animated show based on Littlest Pet Shop in 1995" Which? Hasbro or Kenner?
  • Hasbro (as Kenner, but that was before they retired the division outright). Expanded and added a source to clarify this. 23W
• "Serving as both executive producers and story editors, Julie McNally-Cahill and Tim Cahill developed Littlest Pet Shop, joining Hasbro Studios in September 2011" A question about chronology- this implies that they had developed Littlest Pet Shop before joining Hasbro; if they developed it afterwards, you should say "developed Littlest Pet Shop, having joined Hasbro"
  • Good point: adjusted. 23W
• "Serving as both executive producers and story editors, Julie McNally-Cahill and Tim Cahill developed Littlest Pet Shop, joining Hasbro Studios in September 2011.[b] Additionally working as executive producers on Littlest Pet Shop are Chris Bartleman and Kirsten Newman.[5]" I'm not really keen on the second sentence; could this be rephrased?
  • Attempted. 23W
• "based on their 2010 introduction of" Whose? Hasbro's?
  • Hasbro's; clarified. 23W
• "The Cahills convinced the studio of their idea of contemporaneous pet stores, most of which provide grooming and day care services." This is a bit awkward
  • Tinkered with. 23W
• "so the Cahills took to build the human character's world" I don't understand
  • Rephrased as, "so the Cahills sought to expand the human character's fictional universe".
• "While the show is aimed at a demographic of girls, Julie said that she and the writers attempt to cater to boys and parent viewers simultaneously." What sort of age are we talking about?
  • Clarified. 23W
• "Different from the other Hasbro properties Ball had worked on, she explained that Hasbro sought to have the comic as entertaining rather than morally didactic." This is a little difficult to follow; I think it could be rephrased
  • Attempted. 23W
• Is "conceit" the right word?
  • Replaced with structure, though genre might be the proper term there. 23W
• Just a little thing, but where are the references for the DVD releases? I'm not too concerned about this (they can act as their own reference!), but if you have some handy...
  • Instead of references, I've added a column for Amazon product IDs. It might look unorthodox, but when most of these tables reference Amazon en masse it's less cluttered this way. The Region 2 and 4 tables are redundant to Region 1 (they all copy from Shout!) so I've removed them. 23W
• Could we have some text in the online shorts section? I also note that your "main article" link points at a section that does not exist.
  • Removed outright, as no secondary sources seem to mention them anywhere. 23W
• What makes Bleeding Cool reliable? The Intent Media Network?
  • Licensing.biz is now owned by NewBay Media, which publishes reliable trade magazines and websites; I've updated the reference. Can't say how reliable Bleeding Cool is but since it's a primary source I think WP:ABOUTSELF permits its use. 23W

This is a strong article. Great sourcing, appropriate real-world focus, well-balanced coverage, professional tone. A nice model for how to write about topics like this. I'll be happy to promote once you have dealt with the issues above. Also, please double-check my copyedits. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:45, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

How funny- I wasn't aware of ever having heard of Littlest Pet Shop, but I just saw it listed on Pop when we were scrolling through the channels for some background noise... Right after MLP, appropriately enough. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:59, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

@J Milburn: Yeah, a lot of folks think that it tries hard to follow in MLP's footsteps, but when both topics are equally the source of cruft we might as well do readers a favor. Thanks for the review! I've applied most of your suggestions above. 23W 17:23, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Could I ask you to add the region 2 and region 4 releases back? I think they were valuable. Even if they are identical, they are very much a separate release. It also mitigates a potential American focus. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:39, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Also, do you have any information on the intended demographic? I get that it's girls, but that could be anything from babies to toddlers to children to preteens to teens- what is the particular target audience? Josh Milburn (talk) 16:22, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

@J Milburn: Sorry for the dead air, this week has been a rush for me. I'll have these suggestions done by the end of this week if you don't mind deferring the deadline. 23W 07:20, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

No problem- take as long as you need. Josh Milburn (talk) 09:05, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

@J Milburn: I think I've addressed these issues (finally!). Thanks again for all your input. 23W 17:22, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

I'm just being picky now (the article's looking great!) but could we have ASINs for the Region 4 releases? Josh Milburn (talk) 19:59, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

@J Milburn: Region 4 releases aren't available on Amazon, so I referenced the DVD publish for the release date table header. Hopefully that's just as good for verifiability. 23W 03:11, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Great, happy to promote at this time. A nice little article- a very valuable resource for people who want to learn about this show. You should be proud of it! Josh Milburn (talk) 11:59, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
