List of One Piece episodes (season 5)

[edit]
Nominator(s): Goodraise (talk)
Toolbox
Notified: NocturneNoir‎ and Rambo's Revenge
Not notified: Dabomb87 (on vacation)

Since the last nomination, it has been copyedited. References to the ANN encyclopedia, which was recently declared non-reliable, have been replaced. Everything else was checked and re-checked, just to make sure. -- Goodraise (talk) 01:14, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I still think the summaries need some copy-editing, which I will do tomorrow. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:49, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have time to go through all the episode summaries, my only comments are:

  • "The next three episodes are called "Shutsugeki! Zenii Kaizoku Dan" (出撃!ゼニィ海賊団?, lit. "Sortie! Zenii Pirates")", not true is it? I thought the episodes have individual names (as indicated in the table) and the 3-episode arc is called this.
  • Why do you use "webcitation.org" for so many references where the original page still works fine. It just seems a rather round about way of doing things.

The sourcing issues I previously brought up have been resolved in discussions between us. I am happy this page is reliably sourced. Rambo's Revenge (How am I doing?) 14:33, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support, all issues resolved (taking into account new criteria). Dabomb87 (talk) 21:25, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved issues, Dabomb87 (talk)
Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) I'm copy-editing, but these are questions that I have:
Since you put it that way, I'll answer the questions directly instead of changing the article. I hope that's alright. -- Goodraise (talk) 00:03, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note I confess I had forgotten about this, I'll try to return tomorrow or Tuesday, so don't archive this nomination just yet. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:46, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to finish tomorrow. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:58, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't stress yourself. It's ultimately my fault for nominating sub-standard lists. I promise to do better in the future. -- Goodraise (talk) 03:37, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Sanji has a violent encounter with a tax collector, wearing an electric battle suit." So who is wearing the battle suit, Sanji or the tax collector? Suggest "Sanji has a violent encounter with a tax collector, who is wearing an electric battle suit."
  • "eventually was locked up in the brig of the wreck of a navy ship" Who locked him up?
  • "When Lapanui hears Whetton's name, he loses his trust." His trust of whom?
  • "Whetton orders his men to invade." Invade what?

These are the last issues. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:11, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All addressed.[3] -- Goodraise (talk) 00:33, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

*Oppose - this is the first time I have seen this list so my comments will be from the perspective of a prospective new reader. Apologies if I repeat something already mentioned.
    • For me, knowing zero about "One Piece", I would appreciate an introduction into what this whole thing is about. Your introduction makes the assumption that I know what about to read.
    • I think storyline is either one word or hyphenated, not two separate words in this context.
    • Four paragraphs in the lead is probably one too many for a list of this moderate length.
    • "Toei released.." stick with the official name or else place an abbreviation after the original statement.
    • "two to three" presumably it's either two or three, nothing in between? So "two or three"..
    • You talk a lot about the theme music in the lead but don't mention it again in the rest of the article. Usually we'd expect this to be expanded upon.
    • What does EP# mean?
    • When you say English airdate, do you mean English language airdate? Not "airdate in England"? Not clear.
  • By far the biggest issue for me is the onus on the reader to know what this list is about before reading it. I think the lead needs some work to help me understand what this is all about. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:48, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'd like to note that, although your concerns are all valid, the "theme music", "EP#", "English airdate", and (to a lesser degree) the "four paragraphs" issues are in keeping with currently featured anime episode lists. Anyways, thanks for the review! -- Goodraise (talk) 15:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • That's fine, it's been five or six months since I reviewed an anime list. However, I'm happy to let the theme music slide, but the EP# needs a note, the English airdate is ambiguous, and leads should still really not be over the top for moderate sized lists. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:49, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • OK, I've added a note and changed "English airdate" to "US airdate". However, if you're saying that the lead is too long, not in terms of paragraphs, but in terms of words, then I have no idea how to fix this. No piece of information present there seems expendable. What could I remove without impairing comprehensiveness? -- Goodraise (talk) 16:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
