With its unique blend of drama and humor, The Sopranos is considered by some to be the greatest TV show of all time and paved the way for the current TV landscape. A former featured list, I have rewritten much of the lead and archived every source in order to bring this list back to its former glory. Note: I have another FLC, but I'm nominating this list now so that it can (hopefully) earn its gold star before the 16th anniversary of the series finale in June. I will be increasing my reviewing to make up for having two outstanding nominations. Newtothisedit (talk) 04:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

  • "Italian-American mobster Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) as he struggles" - writing it as "Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), an Italian-American mobster, as he struggles" would slightly break up the sea of blue
  • Can you wikilink Broadcast syndication, as I for one had to look this up to find out what it means
  • "Unlike most shows at the time, which typically took a four-month hiatus between seasons" - maybe specify unlike most US shows? A four-month break between seasons has never been the norm at all in my part of the world
  • Links to main articles have the show title in normal type and the season in italics - shouldn't that be the other way round?
  • I will leave looking exhaustively through the refs to someone else, but one thing that I did notice is that number 71 is missing a publisher -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:08, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by RunningTiger123[edit]

  • "James Gandolfini is the only cast member to appear in all 86 episodes of the series." – citation needed
    • Added citations
  • Ref. 12: Italicize "The Sopranos"
    • Done
  • Source 16 is a Google Drive link to a copy of a newspaper; my instincts tell me this is some sort of copyvio. Just cite the issue and don't link it, or find a new link.
    • Done
  • Quotenmeter (used twice) seems to be a blog with no clear reliability; I'd find better sources.
    • Replaced both usages with better sources.
  • Since episode 3x12 used households for ratings, don't put it into the chart at the bottom (it implies a false dropoff).
    • Done
  • More ratings for season 1 would be nice – maybe try searching databases at WP:TWL if you have time?
    • I've been scouring the internet and old newspaper articles for a few weeks now trying to find ratings for these episodes but have been unsuccessful. Unfortunately it appears that at the time Nielsen only published viewing data for the Top 10 Cable series and the Sopranos did not qualify for much of its first season.

@RunningTiger123 I have addressed all comments. Newtothisedit (talk) 21:13, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Only remaining update is that The Sopranos still needs to be italicized at the start of what's now source 13. I'll assume that will get done and will support. RunningTiger123 (talk) 17:21, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed, thought I had earlier but I guess not. Newtothisedit (talk) 23:21, 27 February 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. Since you're using template, in the {{Episode table}} template in the season sub-articles, visual captions can be added by putting |caption=caption_text as a parameter of the template; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |caption={{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
  • 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 22:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, promoted. --PresN 03:09, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through.
