The Office (U.S. TV series) season 2[edit]
This list was previously nominated by another user for FL-status on April 17, 2008, and was deemed to fail the criteria on May 2, 2008. I have worked on the list significantly, and I believe that the list is now FL-quality. Mastrchf (t/c) 17:41, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment' - I wouldn't call this a list. There seems to be quite a bit of prose in there. D.M.N. (talk) 17:46, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The Office (U.S. TV series) season 1 and The Office (U.S. TV series) season 3, both of which I created and are very similar to the nomination, are both FL. The majority of season lists, except in the case where there is an overwhelming amount of prose, are better for FL than GA/FA. Mastrchf (t/c) 17:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Looks good, but a few dashes need to be changed to en dashes, like in "September 12, 2006-Region 1". Gary King (talk) 18:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Both of the dashes in the infobox have been changed. Were there any others that should've been changed? Mastrchf (t/c) 18:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
- "...four DVDs in Region 1..." do you mean "four Region 1 DVDs"?
- Same for Region 2 - perhaps "released for Region 2..."?
- In infobox, any reason why Anamorphic is capitalised?
- Last para of the Production section is five choppy sentences - I think the flow can be considerably improved.
- Cast image caption doesn't need a period and it should be sized per WP:MOS#Images, so just
thumb- ie not having its size forced. - Carrell image needs the
uprightparameter instead of being forced (per the MOS) and currently overlaps the episode synopsis section. You could move the image up a section if required. - sixty-seventh -> 67th.
- On that note, in general numbers above 10 are written numerically per WP:MOS.
- In the synopses, no real need to repeatedly wikilink the same writers/directors etc. The table isn't sortable so linking the first instance is probably enough.
- "The two are cold to each other throughout the day, until as a show of good faith.." - I think I'd move the comma to after the until...
- "...talk business. But later,..." - merge.
- "He takes suggestions from the suggestion box..." - maybe takes "ideas" so to avoid repetition?
- What makes ref [3] a WP:RS?
- Several refs (e.g. [8], [11], [12]) could have
dateandauthorfields added - check the others. - Amazon is linked in the refs - why not New York Times, USA Today etc?
- Ref [28] looks a little malformed right now.

Comments
- No need for the content of the See also section. All the links are in the Navbox
- I don't think it's necessary to use "National Broadcasting Company". NBC would do for me.
- You could explain what it is though, such as "national terrestrial television network
- "The second season was released in a set which contained four DVDs. The set was released in Region 1 on September 12, 2006.[3] It was also released in Region 2, on January 28, 2008." → "The second season was released in a four-disc DVD boxset on September 12, 2006 in Region 1,[3] and January 28, 2008 in Region 2."
- Some of the episode summaries need expanding. The first episode's is especially in dire need of help. Two sentences isn't really enough for a half hour show, and definitely not for a 40 minute show.

Support, though I think "Airdate" in the table header would work just as well as "Original U.S. airdate". Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 07:06, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
