# Talk:American Horror Story: Murder House

Okay, either the sections need to be shorter, as they are summaries, or the episode pages need to be longer.  It appears the summaries here are exact duplicates of the episode articles.  I would rather see this than lengthy paragraphs that tell everything the articles say.  This article is about right. Thoughts? — Wyliepedia 04:17, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I'll be reviewing. TRLIJC19 (talk) 23:30, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm going to read through the article and list any existent issues below. But at a first glance, it looks like a generally well written piece. TRLIJC19 (talk) 00:12, 9 May 2012 (UTC)


### Issues
Reference production codes on the table of episodes.
 Done Removing them because they aren't important and are each used in the episode articles.
Add more to development history if more information is available by researching.
 Done I've merged the two sections, as they can go together. TRLIJC19 (talk) 02:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
In this sentence in development history, "In July 2011, FX officially announced the project had been picked up to series.", I don't understand what you mean by "picked up to series".
 Done
Reference the statement under the picture of the house in filming.
 Done
This article is filled with information, yet the lead is terribly short and lacking in information. The lead should be a general summary of the article and does not need to be referenced, as it is right now. All information in the lead should be included in the article, so refs shouldn't be necessary. Add basic information from the sections of the article to the lead.
 Done
The opening to the second paragraph in the lead should specify that you are talking about the first season and not the series in whole.
 Done
In the poster's picture summary, fix the red link to FX.
 Done
Refs 2, 3, 4, and 24 should be expanded.
 Done
Any awards or accolades for this season? If there is a substantial amount, add a section on that under reception, before reviews. If there's only a few, add it to the review subsection perhaps. If not any at all, disregard.
 Done
Under plot, in this sentence, "On arrival, they learn that the previous owners of their new mansion – a gay couple – apparently died in a murder/suicide.", it should say "...new mansion, a gay couple, apparently...". Note the commas instead of dashes.
 Done
Under plot, in this sentence, "The house also 'comes with' Moira O'Hara...", "comes with" should have quotation marks around it instead of apostrophes.
 Done
Under plot, fourth line down in second paragraph, in this sentence, "...course of its history – so much so that it is known...", again use a comma not a dash.
 Done
Under plot, fourth paragraph last line, in this sentence, "...and Violet (whose body is never found) ran away with the baby....", use commas around 'whose body is never found' instead of parentheses.
 Done
I am putting the review on hold so the nominator can assess the problems. Please fix these issues within seven (7) days and then I'll continue on with the review. To make it easier for me, I would prefer that after you fix each issue, you put the "done" template ( Done) ({{done}}) after it or the "not done" ( Not done) ({{notdone}}) template but explaining why you didn't make the change. Looking forward to finishing the review. TRLIJC19 (talk) 00:12, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

With all issues having been addressed, the article now meets the good article criteria and is being promoted to good article status. Great job to the nominator and other significant contributors for their work on the page and review. Happy editing! TRLIJC19 (talk) 02:29, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Now that the season has been officially named American Horror Story: Murder House. Who's gonna do the official move to the now-official title, as well as move ALL "Season 1" Wikimedia? Not I ! — Wyliepedia 23:50, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't think that's a good idea. Although they've said that's the new title, I've yet to actually see it used anywhere. The on-screen title was just American Horror Story and the DVDs still say "first season". So unless they reissue the DVD set with the new title, I'd say "season one" is still the common name. --DocNox (talk) 05:44, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm growing tired of the edit wars regarding how many episodes each person has been in.  I have not seen any Wiki-standard which says this information is warranted and should fall under WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I vote we merge those mentioned into the Plot section (most are already there) and remove this eyesore landmine. Support, Decline or Discuss. — Wyliepedia 07:54, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

The awards are fake, self-established by a Wordpress user. No serious media take them for real in fact, or mention them, and they should be removed from the article in the first place. MiewEN (talk) 05:39, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

This article makes out that AHS is a very well received show when in fact it has been mocked for it's numerous flaws and poor writing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.46.78.108 (talk) 04:22, 1 September 2014 (UTC) 

Can someone please remove actress Christian Serratos from "Recurring", as she is not. IP is not backing down. LLArrow (talk) 00:42, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
