Talk:The Chaser APEC pranks

message: Reminder: This article is based solely on the APEC pranks in September 2007. Also, on some of my edits i accidently click minor edit when they are quite major...sorry! Jasewase (talk) 04:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Reminder

message: I have created this new article as I believe this is an important event in the history of The Chaser, and its successful program, The Chaser's War on Everything. To prove this, I have already got 17kb of content, more than enough for an established article. Please feel free to offer thoughts here. And for thoughts about the general article and the suggestion for it to be split/changed/whatever, this is not the place...cheers Jasewase 12:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: SFA?

message: I'm sorry Jasewase, but I withdrew the GA nomination. You need to have patience. The following reasons is why I with drew it.
#The article dosen't meet good article criteria.
#The article is still undergoing a peer review. (It should not have both happening at same time)
#The article was only created less than a week ago, and hasn't been able to expand.
Jasewase, you need patience. Let the peer review finish, then if it meets the criteria then nominate.
Criteria it dosen't currently meet:
*Prose (There is a list under "Other pranks" section, plus few errors)
*Verifibilty
**For example the "The Chaser's response" section is unreferenced. (You have an external link withing prose, which shouldn't happen. Just reference the radio website.)
**(Same with the Today Tonight paragraph in above section)
*The see also link is a redirect and dosen't go to where it implies.
Im sorry to cause this, but nominating it for early GA, is pointless. If you still want to nominate, please discuss. By the end of November, it should be ready.  SpecialWindler  talk (currently )  10:50, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: hehe i knew this would happen, but it just seems theres not much more to add (just court verdict) Jasewase 12:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: btw fixed all verifibility issues listed above, and see also like. the list has also been modified slightly, but not completely removed. Jasewase 12:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It may comprehensive, but may not be up to scratch. Ask a "FA" reviewer to peer review the article for you. As for the "Other pranks" section. It needs to be converted from list to prose. Meaning no bullet points.  SpecialWindler  talk (currently )  20:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  how did the chasers war on everything get away with four lists then? Jasewase 05:21, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well they are a little different, due that you can't really put segments into prose. You should only use lists when necassary. There is nothing bad about a list and it would probably pass GA status with it but per WP:EMBED then "Most Wikipedia articles should consist of prose".  SpecialWindler  talk (currently )  08:02, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ga nomination

message: i need at least one more image for the article - preferably free use, to accompany this. It can be the major stunt or related to one of the minor ones. i cant find any that are suitable and im not familiar with licensing, sourcing etc... Jasewase 10:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Due to the nature of the subject, any image showing the Chaser at the scene would be fair use. Because the arn't replaceable. We can't exactly ask the Chaser to rebreak into APEC, so we won't find a free image. Though we can find a fair use one. If you need help Jasewase, don't hesitate to ask me (on my talk page preferably).  SpecialWindler  talk (currently )  10:58, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: images

message: almost GA, but some issues need fixed. would like opinions...
* remove links for dates?
* a lot of repetitive news references
* i need help on creating an infobox, if appropriate
* lengthening of intro?
* IMAGES, free use is great but i have no idea what the process is...basically anything that is mentioned in the article will do (you can see i was desperate with the APEC logo...)
* some rewording issues identified by auto peer review
maybe others ive missed as well. cheers Jasewase (talk) 04:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Full dates like 20 November 2007 should be linked, dates like 2007 or November 2007 shouldn't be linked unless they are relevant to the context of the article. There might be duplicates of news references (none that I have spotted), so we should use . I don't think an infobox is applicable for this article, not all articles require infoboxes anyway. Yep, the longer the introduction the better. I reckon that a screenshot of the episode aired featuring the stunts should be uploaded, but only if it is used here, so it meets the non-free content criteria, but I don't think that an APEC logo would "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic" much at all... and I'll see what I can do in regards to prose and the wording of the article. I'm sure that with more work towards keeping the article fully reliable and well written, the article will be promoted. Good work so far, though :) Spebi 05:02, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  ok thanks for the reply i'll do what i can Jasewase (talk) 05:13, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

text:  and also when i said repetitive news references - i meant that i do use the same reference for different points in the article. it's just that when you look through the references list and look at the articles themselves, a lot of them have information that is repeated in many of the other sources. becomes a bit of a mess really...

thread_title: issues

message: I think it is time for this article to be nominated again. It should meet all the criteria, and at the minimum, be put on hold. I'll let Jasewese make the decision as she is the main contributor to this article.  SpecialWindler  talk (currently )  19:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: ga nomination

message: Julian Morrow is referred to as "executive producer" in the quotebox. Is this the best way to describe him. While it is true, he is not best known for that.  SpecialWindler  talk (currently )  11:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Just as a note, this was passed as a GA by . I'm not opposed to the passing and won't go to GAR, but yeah, it's odd there was no review or anything... — Dihydrogen Monoxide 23:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
