Nominator(s): ISD (talk) 13:39, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that this list meets all the requirements for FL status. It fits into the mould of similar anime episode list FLs as seen here. I am unsure what if anything needs to be added to improve the list but any suggestions to help promotion will be useful. ISD (talk) 13:39, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Link20XX[edit]

Why is Crunchyroll italicized in the note "All English titles are taken from Crunchyroll"? It isn't a news website in this context, nor is it italicized on its Wikipedia article.
Shouldn't the English home video release be included in the Home Video release section?

Those are my first comments. I will give more after a close read-through. In the meantime, if you could leave comments on my peer review, I will much appreciate it. Link20XX (talk) 01:49, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from TRM[edit]

Replace the "n.a." in the fair use image with a proper justification, "n.a." is not an appropriate justification. Y
Image caption is a fragment, no full stop required. Y
MAPPA is unnecessarily piped to a redirect back to MAPPA. Y
"to Yuri K." you say before that Yuri Katsuki (known as Yuri K.) Same for the others. Y
"October 6, 2016 and" comma after 2016. Y
"22, 2016 with" likewise. Y
Link dub. Y
"the message "See You NEXT LEVEL" was seen." displayed rather than seen. Y
"the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart" Billboard Japan should be in italics. Y
Four-para lead is too much, three paras maximum. Y
"the first Blu-ray/DVD set" don't repeat "Blu-ray/DVD" here. Y
"in the USA on" just US. Y
"produced by MAPPA, directed" see above. Y
"Yuri on Ice will have six Blu-ray and DVD sets released" will have?? Y
"series in the USA on" see above. Y
"textless opening and closing" what is that? Y
Spaced hyphens should be space en-dashes. Y
"Hasetsu, Kyushu after" comma after Kyushu. Y
"His performance gets secretly" is, not gets. Y
" to Japan and" no need to link. Y
You've linked it again in the second synopsis. Y

I'll come back to this, more soon. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 10:31, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    - Sorry, I thought that it was only one of the n.a. that needed replacing. I've corrected that, although if this is still not appropriate I would request a bit more help as to what does count as justification. ISD (talk) 18:58, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - That's fine. Please now go through each of my points and mark them off one at a time to ensure you've got them all. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 21:37, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        Hi - I think I've done them all, but I'm still not 100% sure whether my "n.a." replacements are suitable. ISD (talk) 16:25, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

The headers of tables need to have colscopes, e.g. `! style="width:3em;" | No.` should be `! style="width:3em;" scope=col | No.`. This, along with rowscopes (which the episode list template gives you), helps screen reader software accurately read out the cells of the table.
While the episode list template handles rowscopes for you, you need to add them to the "releases" table to the first/primary cell of each row, e.g. `|1` should be `!scope=row |1`. This changes the background color of the primary cells; if you don't like it, change the top line of the table from `{|class="wikitable"` to `{|class="wikitable plainrowheaders"`
Tables need captions, e.g. `|+ caption_text` at the top of the table, (or `|+ ((sronly|caption_text))` to make it only for screen reader software if the caption would duplicate a nearby section header). Captions let screen reader software jump straight to a named table without having to read out all the text before it first. --Pres N 14:02, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to make the changes you asked for, but your guidance was not entirely clear. ISD (talk) 18:01, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My guidance was 1) add colscopes to all tables, 2) add rowscopes to the releases table, and 3) add captions to all tables, optionally using a template if the caption would be the same as a nearby section title. You did not do the first two, and while you added captions you also removed the section titles and made the tables collapsed? Collapsed templates like that aren't accessible and hide information from readers.

I've reverted your change, and instead done a quick example of what I was saying. I did not do the entire list; please do the rest. --Pres N 18:56, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've made some changes, but I'm unsure how much you changed and thus how much was still left to change. I'm positive I've done the third of things you have mention, but the first and second things you mention appear to have been done by you I think (I'm still not sure as I'm still finding it confusing). ISD (talk) 16:30, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just went ahead and did the rest, plus some other fixes. I didn't realize when I did the initial review that prior to nomination the only edits you'd made to the page since 2018 were a few references, and weren't at all familiar with what tables were on the page or what the table code was. --Pres N 16:50, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Does this mean you now officially support the nomination now? ISD (talk) 06:41, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Tintor2 (talk) 22:05, 3 January 2022 (UTC):[reply]

Is there a romaji for the title?
I have been told "()" should not be used so I suggest adding something like Yuri Katsuki, also known as "Yuri K." since it's more important for the rest of the body.
FLCs are kinda demanding and I remember being asked with adding translations to Japanese references.
I'm not sure about using Funimation as source since they block people from other regions so I would at least recommend an alternative to back it up.
For some reason the opening and closing themes are repeated.
"Note: Professional skater Stéphane Lambiel appears (voiced by himself in the Japanese dub and by Josh Grelle in the English dub) as a guest announcer for the GPF.[29]" Sounds kinda trivial unless it's worth mentioning in the body.

That's all. Ping me once the issues are solved and I'll support it. User:Tintor2

@Tintor2: I think I've done all the changes I can. I don't think there is a romaji for the title (there isn't one in the main Yuri on Ice article or in the ANN entry. Regarding Japanese translations, I'm not sure if there direct translations of those webpages, but I have referenced other English-language articles in the relevant spots if that is acceptable. Also, if referencing Funimation is wrong, is it also wrong to reference Crunchyroll. If so, I'll change the reference for the episode titles. ISD (talk) 11:14, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@ISD: I meant using "trans-title" to the references. There is nothing wrong with Funimation but they don't allow other people accessing tot the site. Still, support without the nitpicking.Tintor2 (talk) 11:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from AryKun[edit]

Wow, this has been around for a long time. Haven't watched the show, so can't vouch for how correct the plot details are. Also haven't checked the references.

Link Mitsurō Kubo.
"broadcast in Japan, Funimation" → needs a conjunction
Link Blu-ray/DVD.
Standardize the spelling of "Mitsurou/Mitsurō".
"challenging them - Yuri P." → " challenging them – Yuri P."
"gets an Agape love" → Should agape be capitalized? Also check this in ep11.
Don't think Russia needs a wiki link in ep3
"him confidence" → "him the confidence"
Japanese Figure Skating Championships is a uplink in ep5.
"he is doing wrong" → Grammatically incorrect, rephrase. Perhaps "he is making a mistake"
Beijing doesn't need a link in ep6.
Thailand doesn't need a link in ep7.
Moscow doesn't need a link in ep8.
Barcelona doesn't need a link in ep10.
"Phichit's, Christophe's, and Otabek'" → Who are these guys?
"At the end" → "In the end"?
Also, while not needed, a review at the FLC for List of birds of Nauru would be appreciated.

@AryKun: Thanks for pointing these out. I've made as many changes as I can. I've gone with the "Mitsurou" spelling in keeping with the article on that person. You don't explain what an uplink is regarding the Japanese Figure Skating Championships, so I thought it best to remove the link just to be sure. Regarding "Phichit's, Christophe's, and Otabek's", they were all fellow skaters in the competition, who are all previously mentioned in previous episode descriptions, but I added their surnames to help clarify things. Hope this all OK. ISD (talk) 07:35, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually meant to write duplink, but autocorrect came in the way. Anyway, all my concerns have been addressed, so I will support. Nice work with this and the amazingly fast response, hope it gets promoted soon. AryKun (talk) 08:03, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. ISD (talk) 09:31, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source review passed, mostly- if you could, please wherever a ref has a title in Japanese, please change e.g. `|title=TVアニメ「ユーリ!!! on ICE」公式サイト` to be `|script-title=ja:TVアニメ「ユーリ!!! on ICE」公式サイト` and add `trans-title=(english translation of the title text)`. I'm not going to hold up the nomination on just that, though, so, promoting. --Pres N 19:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
