List of Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes[edit]

Notified: NuclearWarfare, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Avatar: The Last Airbender task force, Talk:Avatar:The Last Airbender

I am nominating this for featured list removal because almost all of it is sourced unreliably. I can't fathom Amazon ever being a reliable source for anything. Also, what makes TVShowsOnDVD.com or the EzyDVD.au site (which is just a bare URL, not in a citation template) a reliable source? Both appear to be sales sites like Amazon as well.

  • EzyDVD.au is an Australian version of Amazon, if I do believe. They are also a sales site, but per the RSN link I provided earlier, it is fine to use it to cite basic information. If you really want, I'll double source it, and put it in the proper citation format; those links have been added after the FLC, and I had forgot to properly format them after another user had added it.

  • WP:OVERLINKING
  • WP:PEACOCK in first sentence
  • Actually, while the page is being worked on, it might be worth finding someone to copyedit the Lede, just to make sure it's all good.
  • There's a lot of whitespace in the writer and director columns that the episode title columns could borrow from (this are the most important column, after all)
  • Footnotes should not use an alphabetical system rather than a number system as it conflicts with regular references (see WP:FOOT for current accepted practices)
  • Footnotes 4 through 13: So what if they can't be verified online? We have ((cite journal)), ((cite news)), ((cite book)) - can any of these options be used?
  • Airdates are unreferenced
  • Are the numbers being represented as production codes actually production codes, or just an episode number "106" being the sixth episode of season 1. (I imagine for animated episodes, more than one is being produced at any one time, and I doubt they are produced and completed in order they were broadcast.) cf. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television#Request for Comments: Production codes
  • I haven't gotten a chance to see the DVD they come from, but there is a footnote that says that they come from the production commentary of the final season's DVD. I was thinking of possibly replacing it with something like List of Numb3rs episodes currently is. NW (Talk) 17:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Skittlepedia effect needs to go. I believe it fails Criterion 5(a). "Visual appeal. Makes suitable use of ... colour." Visual appeal doesn't mean looking like a bag of candy, and colours shouldn't be used just to make things look pretty. They should be used to identify something. This one of my points from the first FLC that I felt went unresolved.
  • Finally, this last remark may seem ironic as I pressed hard for it at the FLC, but there has been a turn around of late with regard to transcluding episode tables from season pages. Yes, it means there are two pages to maintain, but it also means that if the information is wrong on one page, it isn't wrong on two.

It needs a bit of work, but it shouldn't be too hard to do. Hopefully it won't be delisted. Matthewedwards :  Chat  06:29, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oh man, I totally forgot about this FLRC till yesterday. As for the themes bit, the seasons in order are named: "Book 1: Water", "Book 2: Earth", and "Book 3: Fire". (Just look at the individual articles; there ought to be a source there). As for the rest of the things that Matthewedwards brought up, I can do them, but I'm rather busy with other things I want to get done first. Would it be possible for someone to close this, and just bring this up on the talk page in a few weeks? I could handle all of those minor details then. NW (Talk) 17:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As NW said above I removed the transclusion skittle colouring. For the last half hour I've been fiddling with options for unskittling the DVD region box. The colour could be removed, but with a complete and relatively long re-coding there is a different option. Opinions? Rambo's Revenge (talk) 19:06, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Personally, I prefer the way it is now, but if we were to go with the uncolored option, I rather like the second one. Also, is there any way to apply these changes to the season pages as well? NW (Talk) 19:17, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you clarify that, by "second one" did you mean the second one of three (titled Uncolour) or the second of the uncoloured versions (titled Completely re-code)? Also does anyone else have a preference, baring in mind any colour differences can be changed. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 11:52, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
