[edit] Making Waves

I've worked on this article about a short-lived TV series for a month and based much of the structure on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Television programs guidelines as well as on other FA TV articles, particularly The Wire. A comprehensive history of the series is provided, the image has a FUR, it has been copyedited by other users and a peer review is ongoing here. WindsorFan 15:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

• Articles aren't supposed to be listed at peer review and FAC at the same time; see the instructions at PR. Why don't you finish the peer review and then approach FAC? Otherwise, you'll need to remove it from peer review, which is a shame. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Oops, the only thing I overlooked. I've closed the PR; I doubt one more week will elicit a response.WindsorFan 08:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment In "Episodes" section, the summary of episodes are pretty large. Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Television programs suggests "one- or two-sentence summary" and appropriate daughter article creation for episodes, if needed. I understand that since this is a short-lived series, individual episodes may not be noteworthy enough to create articles. Still, a daughter article discussing all the episodes can be created, and summary of episodes can be further summarized. Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 18:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I've cut down the summaries to three lines describing the major storylines of the particular episode. I'm hesitant to split it off into a "List of episodes" article because there were only six episodes made and they're not particularly notable for separation.WindsorFan 11:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Have not read the whole article yet. However, it seems perfect. Hope to comment later.--Dwaipayan (talk) 09:46, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment Please see "Acronyms and abbreviations" section in WP:MOS. Accordingly explain and/or wikilink things like XO, CCMEA, LMEA, Lt Cdr, OM etc.--Dwaipayan (talk) 20:42, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Expanded/linked where appropriate. WindsorFan 08:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• Support Seems to meet the criteria.--Dwaipayan (talk) 13:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. I had a look at a few windows of prose, such as these sentences. The lead is good, but the rest could do with fresh eyes to spruce it up, but it's on the good end of the spectrum here. "Alex Ferns arrived two days earlier than the rest of the cast in order to settle in and also made a trip to Yeovilton to meet Harrier pilots while Emily Hamilton prepared for her role by shadowing Vanessa Spiller, XO of HMS Kent." better as "Alex Ferns arrived two days earlier than the rest of the cast to settle in, and made a trip to Yeovilton to meet Harrier pilots, while Emily Hamilton prepared for her role by shadowing Vanessa Spiller, XO of HMS Kent." Yes? For one thing, there's "also-itis" in evidence. Tony 23:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
• Conditional support—please polish the article per Tony's suggestions. Might want to audit for commas: "In August 2002<comma needed> the Royal Navy...". There's also a one sentence para in the reception section. — Deckiller 02:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

• Support. Just one minor issue: the linking. It seems to me the following deserve to be linked: Richard Maher (is linked in the infobox, but I don't think that really counts) and Portsmouth. Good work.--Carabinieri 22:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Done. WindsorFan 16:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
