Hello From the Magic TavernHello from the Magic Tavern – "from" is a preposition with just four letters. Per WP:NCCAPS, it should be lowercased. If sources matter (I think it shouldn't), Medium.com, iTunes, NiemanLab, RedEyeChicago, FastCompany, and Engadget should suffice. BoingBoing is a blog and mixes usage.

  • Note since the MOS-compliant target was not taken and there's no likely controversy here, I went ahead and moved it. This can be speedy closed as moved unless someone finds a reason to object, which seems unlikely. Dicklyon (talk) 16:17, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Episode Listing / Description edit

Would there be much benefit to adding a section for episodes? I'm thinking a general "episode number, description, guest, length" would suffice. Thoughts? NsTaGaTr (talk) 17:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Podcast of the Month Proposal edit

This article is on the list of proposals for the monthly collaboration. Project members have expressed that collaborations often lack goals so I'm adding a list of potential improvements to the talk pages of each proposal.

Here are my suggestions for improvements that need to be made.

  • The introductory paragraphs are typically (from what I understand) supposed to be a short succinct summary of the articles contents that does not need any citations. So I would recommend moving any important contents currently located in the introduction to other parts of the article, shortening the introduction and completely removing citations from the introduction.
  • The infobox lacks quite a few parameters that could fairly easily be included such as number of seasons, number of episodes, related shows, etc.
  • The infobox image has strange dimensions. Most cover art is square and from a quick google search the same exact cover art is available with square dimensions. Personally, I think replacing it would be good.
  • Adding images to the article would be great. Images of the host, guests, fans, or even alternative cover art would all be good.
  • I've noticed (and fixed a few) instances of putting punctuation outside of quotation marks rather than on the inside, which I believe is incorrect grammar. I'm sure there are other grammar, punctuation, or spelling issues that need fixing or at least rephrasing of clunky sentences.
  • Citations almost always need their parameters filled out. Especially archive URLs and archive dates.
  • There is absolutely no episode list of any kind, which could probably be made into it's own article if the podcast has been regularly producing episodes since 2015.
  • Hyperlinks could most likely be added or if their are duplicates some could be removed.
  • The see also and external links sections could potentially have more links added to them. Remember to follow guidelines though, I don't think fan sites are allowed and adding links to different podcasting platforms isn't worth it while a navbox is being developed for that purpose.
  • I really don't think "Foon" should be a header and the contents could most likely be moved to concept.
  • I don't think there is anything that could be added to a "further reading" section, but if someone finds something that would be great.
  • Non-podcasting categories should be added such as more generic things related to fantasy
  • New sources are almost always helpful and could help reduced the large number of times that some references are used (i.e. reference number one is currently cited 10 separate times). I would also be curious to find out whether there are book/film adaptions or off shoot/side projects related to this podcast.

If anyone has an other suggestions feel free to add to the discussion. TipsyElephant (talk) 03:26, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
