List of Meerkat Manor episodes

edit

I am nominating this list as I believe it meets all of the featured list requirements. The information is well sourced, it covers the episodes of the series in a usable format with succinct, but thorough episode summaries and related information on episode production and availability.

  • Support with reservations Everyting looks very good, but the episode summaries for the first two seasons are all very short. I'd like them a little longer. Also be sure that evrything is original and not taken form one of the many other online summaries. Great overall. Reywas92Talk 02:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've redone the first series episode summaries. Can you take a look and let me know if those are better? If so, I'll do series two and fix up series 3 the same way.AnmaFinotera (talk) 09:38, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looks good, though it is shorter than other summaries, but it's fine. Full support once series 2 is done. Reywas92Talk 23:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree with the reservation above, as that makes the article look imbalanced. Also, it would help to very shortly introduce each character when he is first mentioned in the list. There are a couple of <ref>s before punctuation, when per MOS they come after, and there are some oversight punctuation mistakes in the intro. "As the show is UK based, seasons here" sounds non-neutral. I haven't read through the episode summaries, as I hope for a little expansion. The DVD section is lacking references completely. Good job otherwise. – sgeureka t•c 11:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll work on those other eissues today. For the UK paragraph, any suggestions for working it? It was put in because of issues with US editors changing the various Meerkat Manor articles to use US terms instead of the appropriate UK ones, even though the MOS says that being a UK show, we should use UK. AnmaFinotera (talk) 17:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • How about, "As the show is UK-based, seasons in this article are referred to as series" or "As the show is UK-based, this article refers to seasons as series". – sgeureka t•c 18:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. I think I've fixed all of the issues except the episode summaries (working on). I've removed the Region 4 information as I could not find any confirmation for the existence of Region 4 DVDs from any of Australia's largest DVD sites nor the Australian Meerkat Manor site. It looks like an anon user had added it over a year ago back when the article was a single article, but they left no edit summary about a source. AnmaFinotera (talk) 02:05, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Reywas92 above. One or two sentences more for each summary in Season 2, and this list has my definative support. Good (and fast) job on the short introduction of each character. I'll probably copyedit the list later because I kind of have to admit to be interested in the "plot" now. – sgeureka t•c 00:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've finished up the series 2 summaries, and went in an wikified some of the meerkat names as well now that the character list has been reformatted to allow for it. AnmaFinotera (talk) 02:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments Looks good, but I have one suggestion and one question. First, the DVD tables would look better if the discs columns were center aligned. Second, why do some of the sources specify that they're in English? I think that's generally assumed unless otherwise. Drewcifer (talk) 14:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fixed the disc columns. For the sources...good question. Left overs from when I was first getting the hang of the cite tags is all I can think. I've cleared them all out now. :) AnmaFinotera (talk) 14:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks great. Drewcifer (talk) 01:18, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support I have no further improvement suggestions, the samples I read sound good, the layout is good, and the sourcing is fine. – sgeureka t•c 15:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
