[edit] GA Failing

This articleis quite a way from GA, while there are 14 refernces there are many more other things that still need references, the layout is pretty sloppy too, there is still more work to be done here

[edit] On the show being a "Quebec" show

I have made various minor edits to the article which reinforces the show being from Canada rather than Quebec specifically. While there is, I think, definitely good reason to mention that the show is produced in Quebec in particular (as French-language television and film production in the province is largely distinct from what limited French-language production exists in other provinces), I think that it is more confusing than anything to call the show a "Quebec" show. My reasoning for this is as follows:

• To my knowledge such sub-national distinctions with regard to the origin of film and television productions do not exist on Wikipedia---with the exception of Hong Kong, which is a completely different case, I think.
• It is likely to be confusing to readers unfamiliar with the internal provincial divisions of Canada
• It is likely to be vaguely insulting to people like me who are not Quebec nationalists :)
• It exacerbates the already-worrisome inconsistency with the use of both "French Canadian" and "Quebecois" on Wikipedia. Since the use of "Quebecois" in English is fairly recent and still of somewhat dubious worth, I have used "French Canadian" since it is a term with sufficiently ancient roots, and is something all interested readers, no matter how cognizant or incognizant they are of political issues internal to Canada, should be aware of or otherwise be able to figure out.

As the article stands after my edit, there is no definite indication in the body of the article that the show is produced in Quebec itself. I may try and come up with a sentence or two that makes this more evident, but I think that clearing up the existing confusing wording was more important. JKing 21:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
