Talk:Shortland Street/Archive 1

message: why does this article say Shortland Street have to do with the Power Rangers?
A: One of the cast members is a former Power Ranger... ninja Force I think
Ninja Storm, knucklehead, lol. Come on you leave in New Zealand.
:Actually Power Rangers has been banned in New Zealand for the past twelve years so it's not surprising that that person doesn't know lol Dippit 12:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Except that it isn't and never has been banned. Check out Power Rangers specifically the talk page. It was withdraw from air after complaints but it was not banned. Many DVDs are available with PG ratings (and can therefore be purchases by anyone). As mentioned, one of the series was shot in New Zealand (again the article) Nil Einne 19:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The article changed throughout in it's formatting from Actor (with Character - in brackets) to the opposite and back again. This should be corrected (I would do it but it's 1:30am and I'm going to bed!) Glen Stollery (My contribs) (talk) 12:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Continuity of article 

message: I was surprised to find the Guatemala line was not in the article. I've since added it but I wasn't in NZ then so it would help if someone who knows more could check what I added... Nil Einne 22:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Guatemala 

message: The article originally suggested TK, Alice and Baxter were from 2006-. However Alice was definitely in around in late 2005 since she was the one that kissed Tama and Baxter was around too unless my memory fails me. I'm pretty sure TK only came along in 2006 however Nil Einne 22:47, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

message: As this article is now about 42 kilobytes, im going to move the storylines and death sections to another page...as many other soap operas have their own pages detauiling the storylines.Dippit 05:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Too Long

message: I have quick-failed this article according to the GA criteria. The logo lacks a fair use rationale, and there are no sources for the information in the article. Also, the trivia section should be removed and any relevant information integrated into the rest of the article. Many of the sections are stubs with little or no information, just providing links to the main article. There should at least be a summary of the information for the reader. Due to these reasons, I am failing this article at this time, but do consider renominating again when you have resolved these issues and looked over the rest of the criteria. If you disagree with this review, you can seek an alternate review at Wikipedia:Good article review and if you have any questions, let me know on my talk page. --Nehrams2020 20:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have failed this article again also. It is nowhere near GA status and is on clean-up alert. It also has incomplete lists. Dalejenkins 12:33, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:ShortlandStreet2007Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I will move the history section to its own page in 4 days (on Mon 16/07/07) unless anyone has an objection. Liamodwyer13 08:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no objections, but remember to leave some basic information on the Shortland Street page. This is one of the reasons we are failing the good article nomination. Laydan Mortensen 20:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving History Section 

message: As I see from above discussions this article has been quick-failed a number of times, and since the last fail (July 8th I believe) very little has been done to improve the article (although as far as I can tell it doesn't qualify for quick fail anymore).  So, although I am going to fail it again, I thought I'd give some point-by-point advice to help the process:
*The article should be referenced much more heavily.  Overall, the article is referenced twice, which is completely insufficient for a GA article.  Not to mention that those two references are contained in the characters tables, not actually in the prose itself.  In general, any complete thought should be accompanied by a reference.  So, take for example, the following text: 
:There are a number of complete thoughts here, so each should be referenced accordingly.  Conversely, if whole paragraphs are about a single fact, than one overarching reference will also suffice.  Large portions of the article are in need of such attention, not just the quote above.
*Most references should ideally use a Citation template.  
:*I added the citation templates. Liamodwyer13 05:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I have created a Wikia for Shortland Street located at shortland.wikia.com. I think all new character articles should be created here instead-it seems more appropriate.

thread_title:  Shortland Street Wikia 

message: Shortland Street was broadcast in the UK for some years (it may still be: I don't know). From what I can remember it was in the early afternoons on ITV, and never built up more than a small audience compared to the behemoths of the Aussie soaps. I didn't watch it myself, but maybe there's another British editor who did and who can provide details? 86.132.140.207 (talk) 02:33, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
