[edit] Green Wing (series 1)

Self-nomination. I believe that this list is of a good enough quality to become a featured list. The introduction is comprehensive, the image is given fair-use rationale and the list is given a full set of references. I've tried to model the list on the List of Peep Show episodes, which I promoted to FL successfully a little while ago. ISD (talk) 11:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• A season is different to a list of episodes of an entire series. I'd prefer to see sections on cast, awards, reception, etc. For examples, take a look at Featured Lists Lost (season 1), Lost (season 2), Lost (season 3), D:TNG (season 1), D:TNG (season 3), [[D:TNG (season 4), and current nominations The Simpsons (season 7) and D:TNG (season 3).
• Template:Episode list now includes fields for Writers and Directors. Can these be incorporated into this list?
• The references need sorting out. I'm no expert, but I think the book "Green Wing: The Complete First Series Scripts" should be listed under "General". Page numbers need separating by an endash.

• Response to comments - I've tried to carry out all the changes you asked for. The book is now a "References" section and a "Notes" section, creating a section just for the book. I've added cast, awards and reception sections as well. In terms of the writers and directors in the episode list, this I feel is not suitable for this article. This series, like most British comedy series, is directed by and written by the same people in every episode. Although there are eight writers and two directors, all of them contribute to every episode and they are credited in all the episodes, so there is no episode which is written or directed by a single person. They are however, mentioned in the introduction and are referenced. ISD (talk) 08:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Support All concerns addressed. Meets the criteria. Well done. -- Matthew 20:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - In the Green Wing article, the comic relief sketch seems not to be included in the first series, as it is mentioned separately. I don't know what's the truth, but I think one of these articles should change.--EdgeNavidad (talk) 14:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Response to comment - I've removed the Comic Relief sketch from the Green Wing (series 1) article. ISD (talk) 14:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Avoid links in the bold opening sentence of the lead per WP:LEAD#Bold title.
  • "having spend the previous " - spent.
  • "having spend the previous night in her car, arrives at East Hampton for her first day of work after a bad night." - night then bad night... reads odd...
  • "greetings to his mother: Joanna." - why the colon?
  • "milk float " - link or explain - non Brits may not get this.

• Weak Support-Great article and definately meets FL criteria, well sourced and written. However, I would consider cutting down the episode's synopsis. Per WP:EPISODE, as the plot summaries should be a little more brief.TrUCo-X 14:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
