Degrassi: The Next Generation (season 7)

previous FLC (17:06, 2 August 2008)

The first nomination ended up turning into a mostly peer review, so I agreed with The Rambling Man to archive it as it wasn't getting any consensus either way. However, I still feel it meets the criteria so here is its second nomination. Any comments are welcome and will be addressed.

Resolved comments from Crzy cheetah 23:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- "2006–2007 school year" → "2006–07 school year"
  - Done
- "...between April 2007 and December 2007" → "...between April and December 2007" (?)
  - Done
- "...Mondays at 7:30 p.m." - What time zone are we talking about here?
  - It's all timezones as it is a national station. So whether one was watching on the east coast, the west coast, or in the middle, it was all 7:30.
    - Why not mention it in the article?--Crzy cheetah 20:49, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Done. I put "Local time" because it was the less-goofiest of everything I could think of! Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 22:07, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "...Fridays at 8:00 p.m." - Again, what's the time zone?
  - Done eastern and pacific
    - Done? I don't see it mentioned anywhere.--Crzy cheetah 20:49, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Oops! now it's done! Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 22:07, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- US or U.S.?
  - Done changed all to "US" Done changed all to "U.S." to be consistent with the other season articles Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 22:07, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "…able purchase" → "…able to purchase"
  - Done
- [7][6] → [6][7]
  - Done
- "The N aired episode 718, "Another Brick in the Wall" before 717, "Talking in Your Sleep", and 721, "Everything She Wants" before 720, "Ladies Night". " - Is there any reason why they did that?
  - If there is they haven't said.
- "CTV aired held back episode 703, "Love is a Battlefield," and broadcast it after episode 719, "Broken Wings"" - I don't understand this sentence, plus it's unsourced because the current ref#5 has "the N"'s schedule.
  - Done
- For current ref#2, "accessed" → "retrieved"
  - Not done This appears to be a problem with {{cite podcast}}. I will try to fix the problem there.
    - I just looked at {{cite podcast}}. If you use the accessdate= field, it renders "Podcast accessed on <date>". I'm going to leave it because if you listen to a podcast, you access it, you don't retrieve it. Matthew Edwards (talk • contribs • email) 22:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Current ref#3 should have a format=PDF field.
  - Done

Support--Crzy cheetah 23:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support since Crzycheetah's comments have been seen to, and this looks as good as its six counterparts to me. Nice work. Cliff smith ^talk 22:45, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
- "The season was also nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the "Choice TV: Comedy" category. The winners will be announced on 4 August 2008." - thats in the past now and it didn't win so the second sentence can be scrapped. (PDF of winners)
  - Ah - I forgot about that. Done
- I know the current format is consistent with previous articles, but is there a reason not to have "WrittenBy=" and "DirectedBy=" as to me this would seem to make the list more encylopaedic?
  - Because I haven't figured out how to format it yet. Because some episodes in seasons 6 and 7 aired in the US before Canada I included all the US airdates for every season to be consistent. I could have just done one "Original airdate" column, but I preferred having the extra information. Because of the extra date column, adding directors and writers squishes the width of the existing columns. See User:Matthewedwards/Sandbox/Episodes#S3 and User:Matthewedwards/Sandbox/Episodes#S4. If I do change them, I'm thinking that the table in Season 4 is the way to go. Also, I haven't watched three episodes of this season so I don't know who the directors are yet!

~~Neutral~~. Having those sandboxes has made me alot happier at all the options you are considering. Whilst agree that S4 looks the best it would mean the transclusion to List of episodes has two lines for each doubling the length of that article. I would still prefer to see the director & writer in somehow, but I appreciate it is a complicated problem which you are considering carefully and am confident you have the intent to add this information when a suitable method is found. However I cannot support as I feel the season is not fully comprehensive until that time. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 10:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For now the writers and directors are still included on the page in the "Crew" section, so it is comprehensive. As for having two lines at the list of episodes, I don't think it would look too ugly but I'll continue to work in my sandbox for now to get a visually appealing layout finalised. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 17:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with that it is in fact comprehensive. The only thing is that I have read (in unreliable sources) that Yan Moore co-wrote the second part of Standing in the Dark, if this is true he needs to be tagged onto the writers list, so can you just double check that. Regardless you've done enough to convince me it meets the criteria.

Thank you for supporting, and for letting me know about Yan Moore. I just checked http://www.the-n.com/theclick/ but only James Hurst is given a writing credit on screen. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
