30 Rock (season 2)

edit

I've been working on this article since around when this season of 30 Rock ended in May 2008 and I believe it has met the criteria. I've used the structure of 30 Rock (season 1), which is already a featured list, in this article. I'll be happy to fix any problems anyone finds in the article. -- Jamie jca (talk) 23:56, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

question Why are there two cast photos? Fasach Nua (talk) 08:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One is the DVD cover. The other is just a promotional photo. The cover was released after i'd already added the promotional photo. Should the promotional photo be removed or replaced? -- Jamie jca (talk) 11:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It should be removed per WP:NFCC 3a. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 17:27, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • An idea - instead of introducing this list with date facts, why not tell me what 30 Rock is about? Only one or two sentences and then head into the major facts?
      •  Done
    • "The first eight episodes aired on Thursdays at 8:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST),[2][4] the ninth episode aired at 9:00 pm EST on Thursday December 13, 2007,[5] episode ten through twelve aired at 8:30 pm EST on Thursday[6] and episode thirteen through fifteen aired at 9:30 pm EST on Thursdays.[7] " - this is a really bland sentence. I know it's factually correct and cited etc, but it's not making me want to read on...
      •  Done
    • "Throughout the season, 30 Rock aired under NBC's promotional banner "Comedy Night Done Right."" doesn't appear to have a reference?
      •  Done
    • I'd move [8] to be next to [9] - we can probably allow a few words between citation and material.
      •  Done
    • You say Fey is a show runner in the lead but not in her image caption.
      •  Done
    • Never happy with inconsistency - the article title (30 Rock (season 2)) vs infobox (30 Rock Season 2) vs article material (30 Rock season two)...
      •  Done
    • "Engler[16] and Beth McCarthy.[16] " no need to use [16] twice here - just at the end of the sentence is fine. Same with [17]. In fact, I'd move [17] and [18] to the end of the last sentence entirely.
      •  Done
    • "The TGS cast consists of three actors. They are the..." - first sentence is too short, makes reading choppy, so merge with following.
      •  Done
    • "played the Harvard University alumni " - if he's singular, wouldn't he be an alumnus?
      •  Done
    • Recurring characters aren't cited.
      •  Done
    • "all 15 original episodes" - not sure why "original" needs to be here? I might be missing something though...
      •  Done I ment for their original broadcast, i've tried to explain that better in the article.
    • "While reviewing the season, Robert Canning " - "In his review of the season, Robert Canning..."
      •  Done
    • "Robert Bianco of USA Today thought that towards.." - didn't just think it - presumably he wrote it too?
      •  Done
    • "He thought that" - he suggested that?
      •  Done
    • "Both Tina Fey..." - remove Tina here (unless there's another Fey I've overlooked)
      •  Done
    • "17 emmy " I'm guessing it should be Emmy.
      •  Done
    • "honoured" - is that US English? I'm BritEng so I love it but I think it should be "honored".
      •  Done I'm BritEng as well, I spelt it like that without thinking.
    • Episode 209 is redlinked, some episodes aren't linked at all - what's the difference here?
      •  Done Another editor (User:JustPhil) added the red link for an unknown reason. Some aren't linked because they don't have articles, the linked articles do have articles.
    • The Code of Prod. Code doesn't need to be capitalised.
      •  Done
    • You abbreviate General Electric - why? I can't seem to find it being used anywhere..
      •  Not done See the section on the list for episode 13 "Succession".
    • "he makes a friend in Kenneth" - "he befriends Kenneth"?
      •  Done

Comments

  • The bold title seems forced as it is separated by five other wikilinked/plain text words. Why not "The second season of 30 Rock, an American television comedy series..."?
    •  Done
  • "and its head writer Liz Lemon, who is portrayed by Tina Fey." --> "and its head writer Liz Lemon portrayed by Tina Fey."
    •  Done
  • You could wikilink timeslot
    •  Done
  • ""Comedy Night Done Right."[8]" Move the period outside of the quote
    •  Done
  • Don't overlink real person or character names. Tina Fey is linked twice in the Lede alone
    •  Done
  • A two or three word description of NBC would be good for non-US readers in the Crew section
    •  Done
  • "The TGS cast consists of three actors who are the loose cannon movie star" That bit sounds odd, and the entire sentence is really long. Try to split it, and rework it and stuff
    •  Done
  • Southern-born NBC page, Kenneth Parcell. Per WP:CONTEXT, don't use wikilinks for words next to each other, otherwise it looks like Southern-born NBC page, or NBC page, Kenneth Parcell. The six-pixel comma does nothing to separate them either
    •  Done
  • ""Episode 210," caught the attention of 6 million viewers." does this mean they watched the entire episode, or it caught their attention for mere seconds?
    •  Done
  • Don't use Amazon as a reference site where possible, as its a sales site
    •  Done
