National Kid[edit]

5x expanded by DanielGSouza (talk). Self nominated at 14:08, 24 September 2013 (UTC).

  • Introduction is sourced. Primary sources are interpretted and retold properly. If you want to add inline citations, go ahead; there's no rush. However, I would hope that real-world details, like Reception, Production, Development, and other sorts are added. This article consists mainly of plot, and I'm not convinced that plot is enough to approve this article. --George Ho (talk) 23:27, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
  • Added Development and Reception in Brazil sections. DanielGSouza (talk) 20:44, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Maybe that's all I need. You can expand the Reception section by adding reviews from other countries. But perhaps you can add it later. In the meantime, I'll leave this to another reviewer. George Ho (talk) 01:18, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

  • Interesting topic, and interesting possibilities for hooks. This qualifies as a 5x expansion. The long version that existed for about a minute in December 2010 does not affect its DYK eligibility. Hook fact is in the article and is sourced. I expanded the article a bit and I did some cleanup of defects such as bare-url reference citations. I have four concerns about the article: (1) some of the content is closely paraphrased from the Google Translate versions of the Portuguese sources that are cited, (2) references should be supplied for content about plot and cast (it's clear that this came from the sources cited elsewhere in the article, (3) more discussion of its reception (in general) and its popularity in Brazil would make this a far better article, (4) I didn't see a source indicating that the military government of Brazil banned flying superheroes; one source indicates that the government banned all superheroes. The first two of these concerns need to be resolved before this can be featured in DYK. The third one is optional, but I strongly suggest trying to resolve the fourth one. --Orlady (talk) 05:09, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
  • I did some copyediting and tried to add more notable sources for the article; unfortunately, most of them are blogs. I also tried to search Japanese websites for further information, but I can't read Japanese. It's the best I could do. DanielGSouza (talk) 15:42, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
  • The revisions to the "story" section are an improvement in content, and I no longer have the sense that they closely paraphrase sources. I also now see a source indicating the only flying superheroes were banned. The hook is adequately supported by sources. Two issues remain:
  • I'd still like to see more references cited for the "story" section. That section still appears to be based on text in the sources cited elsewhere in the article, so those sources should be identified.
  • Three newly added citations are bare urls, which are not acceptable for DYKs. I fixed one of these citations, but I can't fix the others. I could not access http://catalisando.com/goldenlist/celacanto.htm to find out what it is, and I can't tell how to cite http://uniaodeabobrinhas.blogspot.com.br/2011/07/national-kid.html (I am not a speaker of Portuguese). Those two citations need to be fixed. --Orlady (talk) 05:33, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
  • The article creator has made a few more edits that resolved the remaining issues. Good enough now! --Orlady (talk) 21:38, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
