Nominator(s): Grapesoda22 (talk) 04:16, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it meats the proper requirements to become a featured list. I am willing to make all necessary changes if it doesn't. Grapesoda22 (talk) 04:16, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - oh, this is not a brilliant start I'm afraid...

  • WP:MOS fails...
    • En-dashes (see WP:DASH) needed for year ranges and volume ranges and to avoid spaced hyphens in the reference titles.
    • WP:CAPTION – that's not a complete sentence so no period required.
    • MOS:NUM – naughty mixed date formats in the references.
    • MOS:BOLD – no bold links and no need to bold random things like the number of episodes.
    • WP:LEAD – don't really need five paras in the lead for an article of this length.
  • The Tv.com link doesn't tell me much.
  • Not convinced Twitter is a reliable source.
  • Where are production codes referenced?

The Rambling Man (talk) 18:02, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The dashes were fixed. I un-bolded the number count, removed the period from the image's caption. Trimmed the opening, including the sentences the TV.com link was vague about. and cleaned up the "Season 9: 2012" section. Wasn't sure what to do about ref dates. And production codes are found in each episode's page on TV.com. Grapesoda22 (talk) 22:25, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Prod code for season 8 is wrong. should be 80x not 100x according to the ref. And about the refs, you should pick one format. ie, either 10 October 2011, October 10, 2011 or 2011-10-10. not all three. and always use accessdate= to all those cites and date= aswell if it includes date in the ref it self. In addition, I would ref each Prod. code from the Overview page as needed. (Yes there 100 but still needed, same as other articles/lists I seen).

I'm not entirely sure if TV.com got the season 8 prod. codes are right. The Adult Swim video schedule, which sometimes goes by prod. codes, claims that the prod codes for season 8 are 100X. Also instead of using TV.com I found IGN features the production code in the list of episodes in each individual season. Grapesoda22 (talk) 02:35, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:18, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • May I ask why the list is titled this way when episodes have already aired under the new name? Wouldn't it make more sense to name the list List of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 episodes, if the old episodes still go under the old name? It seems the intention is to have the episodes under both names included, but the title only reflects the episodes from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force era.
  • Semi-colon after Matt Maiellaro should just be a regular comma.
  • "Seasons 1-8 are avaliable on DVD...". The range could use an en dash.
  • "As of 2011, 'Boston' has never aired or released to the public in any format." Feels like "been" should be added before "released".
  • Note 1: "An earlier version 'Rabbit' originally aired on Cartoon Network on December 30, 2000". Two things here. First, "of" should be added before the episode title. Second, the semi-colon after this should again be a comma.
  • Note 2: Add "a" before "Christmas special"?
  • Some awkward grammar in "The episode later aired as in its chronological place...".
  • Refs 5, 7, and 8 could all use some further formatting, ref 7 in particular.
  • Ref 5 has an equal sign appearing in the cite (maybe an excess one), and Chicago Reader should be italicized as a printed publication.
  • Excess period in ref 10 after the publisher. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 15:44, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oppose – It's been two weeks and there hasn't been any response to these comments. We can't leave lists here indefinitely if there are comments that haven't been acted upon or responded to. If the nominator doesn't come back here soon, I recommend archiving this. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 19:10, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bold links like the one at the start are discouraged in the MoS.
  • Another semi-colon that should be a comma, after "premiered in theatres" in the last paragraph of the lead.
  • IMDB (refs 3, 4, and 9) isn't the most reliable website in the world. Since it seems to be sourcing basic information, are better replacements possible? Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:18, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First two done. More specific IMDB liked used instead of refs 3+4Grapesoda22 (talk) 01:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm with drawing this nomination. At least for the time being. Grapesoda22 (talk) 01:45, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
