Lost (season 4)

edit

If this passes, it will maintain the Lost seasons FT and complete a potential Lost season 4 FT. Thanks to Cornucopia and Jackieboy87 for their contributions. Enjoy, –thedemonhog talk • edits 07:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments
    • Link third season in the lead.
    • "however, the season " - capitalise that H!
    • The cast image should be just a thumb really, according to WP:MOS#Images
    • "commuciations" typo.
    • Featured characters are overlinked.

Some of your concerns have been addressed. The featured characters are linked because the table is trancluded in List of Lost episodes. Thanks, –thedemonhog talk • edits 17:55, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I've been naughty and reduced that cast image to comply with WP:MOS#Images. Plus, on my browser it was leaking over and wiping out text and now it looks nice and neat..! The Rambling Man (talk) 18:01, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Really good, but I'm holding back on supporting because while I don't see anything wrong, someone else might. Good luck. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 21:39, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • Reference number 7 lists Jeff Pinkner as an executive producer, yet the crew section does not. Does he need to be added or is the source unreliable?
    • The cast section doesn't seem to be consistently wikilinked: e.g. Frank Lapidus, isn't, yet Karl is.
    • Do the DVD dates need to be referenced - I notice there is one for region 4 in the lead, but none for region 2.
    • Not so sure about this one: Is it worth including a general reference for recaps of the episodes e.g. [2]

Good work generally, but i'll wait for a few more comments before supporting. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:00, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some changes. –thedemonhog talk • edits 19:52, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • More comments - nit picking
    • Reference number 16 lists the credits for Lost:Missing Pieces. Why is this necessarily the same as the crew for season four.
    • Remove bold per WP:BOLDTITLE
    • Move "and was aired on the American Broadcasting Company Network in the United States" to the lead, as the channel it airs on isn't really related to the crew.
    • Reference 14 says how he was co-producer for season 2 (not season 4), possibly remove? Also cite after punctuation.
    • In the crew section "co-executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, co-executive producer Drew Goddard,". Why repeat co-executive producer twice, just expand the plural to all three.
    • In the lead, "but the DVD set will first be released in Region 2 on October 27, 2008", reads a bit funny. What is the "first" for, if you are trying to say that it is released before Region 1 I think it needs rewording.
    • "The show always features numerous guest stars". Remove "always" as it seems a little peacock like

This is really picky stuff, and overall you've done some great work here. After these are fixed or reasonably opposed I will be ready to support. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Diff. Some of those references were not the strongest so they have been removed and it is now assumed that the show is the source of the information. I am not sure what is wrong with the boldface, but feel free to fix it. –thedemonhog talk • edits 15:25, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support yet another great work by WP:Lost (which also makes an extra Lost FT possible). igordebraga ≠ 21:22, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments Wow, I've been gone a month and there's a lot that's been going on around WP:LOST. Sorry I couldn't be there to nitpick through an FAC or two! ;)
    • Should the "fourth season" in the opening line be in bold? Seems to be done in other season articles.
      • I was thinking this too. If it's only to avoid linking the bold part, then link Lost on its second occurrence. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:04, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Does Lost air on the ABC in Canada? I thought it didn't, but first sentence reads as if it does - I think the confusion may be because it aired in both places on the same date. Ignore me if it's the same channel.
    • Full-stop (period) after Edward Kitsis in "Crew" should be a comma.
    • It'd be in non-sequential order by regions, but wouldn't it make more sense to put the earlier DVD release date (i.e. Region 2) before the later in the infobox?
    • "Walt Lloyd, Michael's son in both flashbacks" should have another comma after son.
    • "Dominic Monaghan and Cynthia Watros appear in hallucinations" - "Hurley's hallucinations" maybe?
    • Sentence beginning with "Metacritic gave the episode" doesn't make sense because two episodes have just been referred to.
    • "...flashforwards were received favourably by critics" - unfortunately Americans rule the universe (the Lost one, at least) and American spelling should be used.
    • We're talking Television Critics Association Awards but not the Emmys? Outstanding Drama Series?
    • According to given date of July 19, TCA Award winners were announced two days ago; should be updated accordingly.
    • "...who is centred on in the episode's flashbacks" - US spelling :(
    • Not sure about the grammar with "Hurley hallucinates Charlie" - I could be wrong but to hallucinate about something sounds more correct, grammatically, but it still doesn't really sound right. Your thoughts on that one?
    • "Charlie, who tells him that 'they need [him]' and checks into a mental institute" makes it sound as if Charlie is the one in the institution.
  • I was thinking, should we just removed this section: "Hurley hallucinates Charlie, who tells him that "they need [him]" and checks into a mental institute, where he is visited by Jack, who tells Hurley that they are never going back to the island, and Abaddon, who inquires "Are they still alive?"."?

    • "Abaddon, who inquires 'Are they still alive?'." I personally wouldn't stick an extra full-stop at the end there but people do different things with quotations used in sentences.
    • "Sayid works as an assasin for Ben" - spelt "assassin".
    • There seems to be varying detail in the plot summaries; the lengths should be vaguely similar. Episodes 1 and 2 have four lines of plot, while others only have one. To me, "Kate goes on a quest to get information from Miles" as the on-island summary for episode 4 is cutting it a little short, while episode 1 even has specific quotes. Should be some vague consistency.
    • "In 1996, he locates Penny; in 2004, he calls Penny" - "he calls her"?
  • That should be about it. Hope the comments help, and keep up the awesome work :) —97198 talk 01:30, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    As a shameless torrenter, I can say that CTV air Lost in Canada, not ABC. Sceptre (talk) 02:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
