Wikipedia:Peer review/The Andy Griffith Show/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


I've listed this article for peer review because I'd like to nominate it for GA status, and would like some feedback to see if that would be an appropriate move.

  • One DAB link
  • Some dead links too
  • The show, → Remove
  • semi-spin-off → How can it be a semi-spin-off? Isn't it just a spin-off or not?
  • , stars Andy Griffith, → it stars Andy Griffith
  • inept, but → Remove the comma
  • deputy, Barney Fife (Don Knotts), a spinster aunt and housekeeper, Aunt Bee (Frances Bavier), and a precocious young son, Opie (Ron Howard). → The comma's before the name make it sound really jilted
  • ne'er-do-wells → Can this be wikilinked? I don't understand what this is
  • 9th-best and 13th-best show → How can it be both?
  • series co-stars → his co-stars or just co-stars
  • on DVD. → Wikilink DVD
  • producer of The Danny Thomas Show, →Wikilink his name
  • pilot show for Andy Griffith, → Wikilink his name
  • 3, 1960 at → Comma after 1960 per MOS:DATE
  • (Evidence for this is that at the start of the episode "Barney's First Car", aired in 1963, Barney wants to buy a 1954 Ford; later in the episode Andy says, "that car is nearly 10 years old.") → This needs sourcing with an inline citation
  • In the Production section, avoid using one line paragraphs.
  • Writer Harvey Bullock left after season six. Bob Sweeney directed the first three seasons save the premiere. → Source?
  • One of the show's tunes, "The Mayberry March", was reworked a number of times in different tempo, styles and orchestrations as background music. → Source?
  • with promotional consideration paid for (in the form of cars) by Ford Motor Company (mentioned in the credits). → Source?
  • In Griffith's development of Andy Taylor sub-section, block quotes should not have quotation marks, because they are indented and therefore indicative of being a quotation
  • In Plot and characters section, again avoid one sentence paragraphs like at the end here. Just place at it the end of the second para. It looks a lot better.
  • Place the image in Plot and characters on the left so that not all three are on the right
  • There's a citation tag at the end of Episodes which needs addressing.
  • Reruns, spinoffs, and reunions could be just two paragraphs instead of so many short ones.
  • The table in Ratings needs to be marked up for WP:ACCESS so the Season column is shaded grey.
  • I think the Awards and nominations would be better as a table instead of a bullet point list.
  • DVD name in Video releases needs shading grey in first column too
  • Ref 1: Link NBC and Today

Hope these help. Ping me with any questions.  — Calvin999 18:06, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • Images could be spread out more.
  • Ne'er do wells could be wikilinked. However, I don't know if we have a whole article about it, since it's more a Wictionary thing.
  • Overall, I think the article is in good shape. Although I may be biased because this is probably one of my favorite TV shows ever.
