List of Case Closed episodes (season 1)

Nominator(s): DragonZero (talk)

I am nominating this for featured list because I would like a featured Case Closed episodes list before applying the same concepts to seasons 2-16. It will also show what is dreadfully wrong with the article and would allow me to find faults to fix. Thank you for your time. Also, for the translated title, there hasn't been much people saying whether they should be taken off or kept. Either way I think it'll work. DragonZero (talk) 09:15, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Goodraise (talk · contribs)

First of all, I guess I have to apologize. Had I known you wanted to go straight for FLC, I would have been more thorough during the peer review. I should have made that clear.

"The Case Closed anime ~~was~~is based on"
"it was changed to Case Closed" - Where?
"The episodes are" - What episodes?
"The English airing was on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block" - What is an "English airing"?
"Conan then lives with Rachel Moore" - Who is that? A word of introduction wouldn't hurt.
"containing the first twenty six episodes of the series." - What about episodes 27-29?
Some terms/names are linked more than once without need. (WP:OVERLINK)
The prose does not flow sensibly in the first paragraph and lacks structure.
I still think the summaries vary too much in length. It reduces the visual appeal.
{{cite episode}} has a parameter called episodelink. Use it to link directly to the episodes you're citing. (Example: ep13)
The episode citations don't specify the network or station.
What makes Aga-search.com a reliable source?
Expand contractions. WP:CONTRACTIONS
"gymnastic could pull off the murder" - Too colloquial.
"he gets attacked by behind" -> "he is attacked from behind"
"force him to swallow a newly developed poison"

I didn't go through the whole list yet, but there will most likely be more errors such as these three. Also, better prose reviewers than me will probably find a lot of imperfections/issues. -- Goodraise (talk) 17:11, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think I changed most of the stuff from the list. For contractions, I can't find anymore, unless things like "Jimmy's" is a problem. I'm not sure if the third paragraph can cover the 28 episodes. DragonZero (talk) 04:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Will never mind then. Please remove this from the featured list candidate. There is no official source for episodes 1-266 as YTV did not start achieving them which is about 6 years after the series launch. DragonZero (talk) 22:08, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would not give up so easily. Here is a reference for episode 39. References for following episodes should be available from here. (You're lucky that Detective Conan is so popular.) As for season 1, I didn't say Aga-search.com was unreliable. I just can't tell if it is reliable, as I don't speak Japanese. Alternatively, you could use the reference library of the anime project. For example, Nihonjoe (talk · contribs) might be able to reference the airdates using his issues of Animage, provided that you ask him nicely of course. -- Goodraise (talk) 22:43, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Going through the list. Episodes 27-29 (English dub numbers) are there since the season division as Detective Conan had those episodes. By terms, do you mean the references? I'm just copying Bleach season 1 style, I could unlink them if it's not a good article to follow. DragonZero (talk) 22:24, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know from the peer review why those episodes are in there. What you need to do is write it into the article.

As for the terms, you link Rachel Moore twice. You shouldn't. However, in the references linking all occurences is fine.

In general, if you have chosen the Bleach lists as your model, that's fine, but use the newest Bleach featured list if you do. That would be List of Bleach episodes (season 9), IIRC. -- Goodraise (talk) 22:43, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation be the network or station? DragonZero (talk) 23:29, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to its article it would be a station. BTW, it would make things easier, if you could reply to comments directly beneath them in the bullet list above. (Just a suggestion) -- Goodraise (talk) 23:40, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
