Nominator(s): VoBEDD 23:51, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that it meets the necessary criteria. It might a little shorter than other episode lists, but that's because the runtime of the entire series doesn't come to even 90 minutes, so there's not much that can be said about it. This is my first foray into the world of featured lists, so I'm sorry if there are some massive errors that I'm overlooking. Thankyou all in advance. VoBEDD 23:51, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments I think the four teens who did the show should be mentioned in the lead, especially as two of them have articles.
 Done Moved their names to the second sentence.
The summaries for episodes 4, 5, 8, and 9 are in a different format (it appears double-spaced on the mobile version of Wikipedia).
 Done The only way I could think to solve this problem was just to stick the notes at the end of the paragraph. This has fixed the issue, but I'm not sure if it's now as visually appealing.
"Pudsey Bear" just redirects to the Children in Need article.

 Done Removed wikilinks. VoBEDD 13:42, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm thinking the notes shouldn't be italicized, in parentheses, or even with "note" in front of it...for example, the last sentence of the Episode 4 summary could simply be "The episode also featured a cameo from indie band The Young Knives, who sent the group a video message wishing them luck for their project". Also wondering if there is perhaps an image that could be used--like maybe File:Alex Day ChartJackers gig for Children in Need.jpg. Glimmer721 talk 02:17, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done both I've removed the italics, parentheses and "Note:"s, and have put the photo of Day in the top-right hand corner. VoBEDD 04:14, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Looks good to me. Glimmer721 talk 21:57, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Ha, I remember watching this show when it was on. Gosh, has it really been two years already? I've had a brief look over the list, and, although I'm not particularly familiar with episode listings on Wikipedia, this seems to meet WP:WIAFL by my reckoning. One thing I would say is that the citations from the summaries of Eps 4 and 9 should be moved to the ends of their paragraphs. I also think it's kind of odd to have an image of only Alex Day in the right-hand-corner of the article, since obviously he was just one of the four guys on the show. Are there any free images of all four of them available, say, on Flickr? That being said, the absence of such an image isn't something that I would oppose over. Nice job!

 Done Have moved the citations to the ends of the paragraphs. It seems that there are a whole load of great Chartjackers-related photos on Flickr, but none of them seem to be free use, unfortunately. If a free image of all four bloggers becomes available, I'd definitely use it to replace the current one. Thankyou for the support. VoBEDD 09:17, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 18:51, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments –
  • Episode 2: "The episode concludes with McDonnell, Day and Hill receiving a phone call from former pop star Chesney Hawkes – Hawkes offers them advice". I wish Hawkes' name didn't repeat from one word to another like this. It's not great prose-wise.
  • Episode 7: "Day, Haggart, Chartrand and Nichols speak with celebrity stylist Hannah Sandling. Sandling...". Again, there's some repetition from one sentence to another that would best be avoided.
  •  Done both
  • What makes Hypebot (reference 1) a reliable source?
  •  Done Replaced Hypebot reference with one from The Huffington Post.
  • Is it YouTube or Youtube? The ref publishers disagree with each other. By the way, if they weren't from an official channel I'd be asking whether these were copyvios and complaining about what a bad source this is. Just be forewarned if you plan on using it in the future, and make sure to only use offical feeds; anything else is not a good source for multiple reasons. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:25, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Done Thanks for the tip. Genuine question though: I understand why citing something from an unofficial source on YouTube would be unreliable, but why would it also be a copyright violation? VoBEDD 02:45, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • If the uploader doesn't hold the rights to the footage, what they are doing is a copyright violation, and the upload will probably be taken down if the rights holder becomes aware of it. Don't think it's an issue here, though. Giants2008 (Talk) 18:51, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as nominator. Is, uhh, this allowed? I could swear that I've seen it done elsewhere on Wikipedia (although, now that I think about it, maybe not at Featured List Candidates). If it is a little audacious then I will apologise, and remove the self-support - I just wanted to give it a shot. Chalk it up as being bold and ignoring all the rules, if you'd like. Cheers all!
