[edit] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I think this article is quite in depth and covers pretty much everything everything that has to do with TMNT quite thoroughly. --The_stuart 20:43, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Objection. As much as I fondly remember this show and would like to see this featured, there are serious problems: 1) no references - if external links were used, they should be formatted properly 2) no screenshots - how can an article about what was mostly a cartoon can have no screenshots? :( 3) Section 'Other information' is as horrible as the Trivia section you can see from time to time in BAD articles. This article has lots of info - but it is very badly structured. I think it should start with a section about show/related products history, had a section on the story development (preferably as a subarticle with spoiler warning), main characters and such, and end with a description of all related products (games, comics, stickers...etc.). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:29, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • There really should be a picture of all four turtles in cartoon form at the top. I would say that's almost essential for this to be featured quality. Everyking 23:42, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Object for same reasons as Piotrus. I'm almost tempted to object because of stereotypical and bad Japanese informations. Too often, one of the first thing I had to do to a person who loved this show was to tell them that he or she needs to forget about all Japanese informations they learned from watching this!

  • Object for same reasons as Piotrus. In addition, little is said about the movie.--Etaonish 22:56, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Object, the "Other information" section definitely needs to be fixed (i.e. the various titbits of info organized properly within the main article).--Eloquence* 23:03, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
  • Please look again I've started what I hope will be a major edit of this article, and I think it's much better already. --Ntg
    • It is better, but still falls short of FA requirements. In addition to my previous comments, the abundance of tiny 1 sentence/1-2 lines paragraph doesn't look good. Try to merge them into fewer bigger paragraphs. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 23:21, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. If each cartoon series gets its own section, so should the live action film series. Apart from that, and considering this is a "gateway" article to the general phenomenon, it's allright. I think a bit more could be said about the blatant straight-to-child marketing "hidden" TNMT, and it being a bit of pioneer in that particular industry (AFAIK).--ZayZayEM 07:24, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
