Nominator(s): Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:02, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I wish to improve my impact as a wikipedian and I feel as this is a good step towards that. I compared to other FA episodes lists (specifically Arrested Development and The Sopranos). I think what I did should be good enough and hopefully if its not I can learn what is good enough.Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:02, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have just ran the internet archive bot on the page to archive various URLs. Past this point I plan not to mess with the page until someone begins their review. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:11, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question I feel that some of the entry on the webisodes list are not webisodes and more ads and shouldnt be listed, thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by OlifanofmrTennant (talk • contribs) 19:23, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The WGA website lists The 5 A's of Greendale, Abed's Community College Chronicles, Abed's Master Key, Señor Chang's Spanish Video Assignment, and Dean Pelton: Office Hours as webisodes (link). Some of the names differ, but they mostly match with the webisodes here. I think Study Break, Road to the Emmys, Save Greendale, and the "Other" table could be removed.

Okay, I said I'd circle back so here's a full review:

  • "American sitcom" → "American television sitcom"
 Done
  • If the lead sentence includes the start date, it should also include the end date (otherwise comes off as awkward or implies it's still airing)
 Done
  • Can't use a source from 2013 as a citation that Harmon was showrunner through 2015
 Done
  • Last two sentences of lead paragraph ("The series follows ... television clichés and tropes.") needs citations
 Done
  • "Ken Jeong, Chevy Chase," → "Ken Jeong, and Chevy Chase,"
 Done
  • "incident" is misspelled
 Done
  • Spell out "five" in "season 5" for consistency
 Done
  • "followed Nicole-Brown" → "followed by Brown"
 Done
  • "However it was given a reduced episode count down from 20+ to 13, this trend continued for the remainder of the show." – too much synthesis here, just say it was picked up for 13 episodes in the previous sentence
 Done
  • Add comma after "The day after the season four finale"
 Done
  • Replace comma after "it had renewed the series for a fifth season" with a semicolon to avoid a comma splice
 Done
  • No need to say the year twice for seasons 4, 5, and 6 – for instance, "the season ran from January 2 to April 17, 2014" is less repetitive
 Done
  • "A month later in May" – redundant
 Done
  • Since the list takes the time to list every renewal, I would include some other key context, either in the lead or in the body:
 Done
    • Season 1 was originally a smaller order of episodes (maybe 13?); it was increased to 22 in the fall and to 25 sometime in the winter/spring
 Done I found nothing about originally being 13 everything said that it was originally 22 episodes and later extended to 25
    • Season 3 saw the show put on hiatus over the winter
 Done
    • Season 4 was originally scheduled to air in fall 2012 before moving to spring 2013
 Done
    • The main Community article probably includes information about this; otherwise, a Google search should provide information about these events.
  • Start to each section should say "ended on" instead of just "ended"
 Done
  • "consisted of" → "consists of" (seasons still exist)
 Done
  • Follow WP:ITHAT for "Main article" links
 Done
  • Footnote a: Several changes here as well
 Done
    • No comma after "original broadcast"
 Done
    • Remove "and chronological" – gets confusing (are we talking about the internal timeline or the real-world broadcast timeline?) and is covered by "production order"
 Done
    • "all home media releases" → "home media releases" (streaming arguably falls into this category and Netflix and Hulu use the broadcast order, so no need to emphasize "all")
 Done
    • Include the same footnote next to episode 11
 Done
  • "The webisodes parody events that happen ... believe Abed can see the future." – citation needed
 Done
  • Remove "the main show" (redundant)
 Done
  • "The webisodes also appear" → "The webisodes also appeared" (website is now dead)
 Done
  • Remove "(plus a trailer)" (unsourced and not too important)
 Done
  • Links to sister projects are incorrect
 Done

@RunningTiger123: What does "Links to sister projects are incorrect" mean? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 21:21, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The bottom of the page include Template:Sister project links, and the links are to the generic term "community" instead of "Community (TV series)". RunningTiger123 (talk) 23:53, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@RunningTiger123: Thank you and I have now adressed all of the problems. Hopefully I didnt cause anymore, if all goes right this is my first FL, cant wait to see the signpost joke it gets paired with, Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:58, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I made a few more copyedits where I either missed something earlier or wasn't clear about the change – feel free to ask if you have questions. I also found a reference for the original season 1 episode count being 13 and added it. RunningTiger123 (talk) 17:17, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

[edit]
  • Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. For the {{Episode table}} template, you just add a |caption parameter. The caption is set to be screen-reader only by default; to make it visual add |show_caption=y.
  • Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN 18:57, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @PresN: I'm confused as to what you mean I've read the MOS:DTAB and I doesnt see how to apply it to the episode table. I was looking at the tutorial page and it seems to be box lists and not the episode table. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:46, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Bilorv

[edit]

Thanks for your work so far! I hope we can get this one promoted.

  • Community: The Movie reads like an official title, but so far as I know the movie has not been named. Instead the section could be titled "Upcoming movie", "Untitled movie" or simply "Movie".
 Done I labeled it "Untitled movie".
  • Community is quite remarkable in its history of renewals and cancellations. There's some good information on this in the body but I'd add (with these sources as a starting point: [2][3][4]):
    • In the lead and the body for season 3: the season 3 mid-season hiatus led to a "Save Community" fan campaign, with use of the slogan "six seasons and a movie" (from "Paradigms of Human Memory"). This was later reused by fans whenever the show's future was uncertain.
 Done
    • In the body for season 5: NBC cancelled the series and then Yahoo! picked it up (this is mentioned/sourced in the lead).
 Done
    • In the body for season 6: Yahoo! considered a seventh season but there were contract issues (ref #118). Shortly after Yahoo! Screen went bust anyway (ref #19).
 Done
    • I think there's more ups and downs to the movie but this section is going to change anyway based on future movie news and I think it's passable as it stands.
  • Refs #102 and #141 don't take me to the right place (can you archive and then check it's worked?). No other issues in the refs I checked (#1, #11, #19, #23, #24, #30, #51, #73, #76, #118, #136, as of Special:Permalink/).
 Done Adjusted the links might be a problem with the archive links though I removed them and will run the page through the bot when I finish the other changes. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 06:17, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't part of the featured list criteria, but you could also consider a consistent reference style (e.g. are website names like TV by the Numbers/Entertainment Weekly linked or unlinked?). This would also mean reformatting the season 1–6 articles to a consistent style, at least for the tables transcluded here. — Bilorv (talk) 23:54, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Drive-by comment

Why are there no ratings listed for season 6? Hey man im josh (talk) 20:16, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh: I'm not the nominator, but season 6 aired on a streaming service (Yahoo! Screen) so there are no ratings. — Bilorv (talk) 20:36, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bilorv: Gotcha, thanks. Then perhaps it would make sense to mention this below the ratings table, or add a row for season 6 and mention this with a reference in the table @OlifanofmrTennant? Hey man im josh (talk) 20:38, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hey man im josh: While I was originally going to add a efn to adress your problem . I looked for other locations where this is the case and the only one I found was The Flash (season 8) which just has text. So I have added a string of text.
