Cancelled

[edit]

I kinda like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, even though it may look pretty disgusting. I also heard that there's gonna be an "Uncle Grandpa" series on the way. I like Uncle Grandpa as well. It's pretty bad SMFA got cancelled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.11.226.201 (talk) 17:40, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring over series end date

[edit]

Hi, can we please stop edit warring over the series end date?[1][2][3][4] Unless there is some clear direction that I'm not aware of from MOS:TV or WikiProject TV, or elsewhere, series end dates typically must be sourced, which seems ridiculous and counterintuitive when a show hasn't aired new episodes in a year or more, and/or hasn't been renewed, but that seems to be the established trend. If you disagree with this, you should probably raise the question at WikiProject Television and try to establish a consensus on how we deal with end dates for networks that do not typically announce cancellations the way ABC, CBS, NBC do. I tried this once before, but never received an answer. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:19, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well the series has not been renewed so that effectively confirms that i mean i don't think show has aired on TV in over a year and the creator of the show basically confirmed that it's not coming back in a recent interview. Koala15 (talk) 23:28, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can dig that, and believe me, I know that it's frustrating when you have personal knowledge of the fate of the series. However, the inclusion is creating disruptions because of the persistent edit-warring going on. If we could source the series end, that would be helpful. In the meantime, until we can arrive at a compromise I'm going to ask for a temporary page protection. I'm going to go to WikiProject Television and ask again if there is community consensus on this issue. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:32, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATE: Here is the discussion I've started at WikiProject Television. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 23:57, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed Futon Critic has the show's status listed as "canceled". Is this source good enough? Koala15 (talk) 18:12, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I believe Futon Critic says that they assume series that haven't aired new eps in 6 months (or so) to be canceled. I kind of wish we'd do the same with articles, but I guess I understand why we don't (we don't create original research). Anyhow, I would say that if one reliable source says it's been canceled, cite it, and call it canceled--you'll get no argument from me! Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:50, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do we consider Futon Critic a reliable source? Koala15 (talk) 00:20, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There are probably differing opinions. I'd ask at the WikiProject or at WP:RSN. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:02, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

I've never seen the show, but will review the article from an outsider's perspective.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Nice work. I did a light copyedit for typos and MoS, but I don't see any outstanding issues.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    Well referenced. Some of the sources aren't great, but their usage looks okay – there's nothing too controversial.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Good work here, considering the available information. The only quibble I have is that the end date of the series' broadcast should be mentioned in the "Broadcast and reception" section, ideally before the sentence reading "The remaining eight episodes of the season were published on iTunes from March 8 to March 29, 2014." (I assume it was pulled off the air midseason, which is why the last few episodes were released on iTunes, but this should be explicitly stated in the article if true.)
    Rephrased to say: "Following the premiere of the eighth episode of the season on February 17, 2012, the series was pulled from broadcast. The network published the remaining eight episodes to iTunes a month later, from March 8 to March 29, thus concluding the series." 23W
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    File:Secret Mountain Fort Awesome promotional image.jpg should be resized to a lower resolution to comply with fair use.
    A bot should get to it shortly. 23W
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    Overall this is a nice article, and very close to meeting the GA criteria. I'll place this on hold so you can address the issues I've pointed out. 97198 (talk) 08:32, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you very much for the review and copy edit! I think I've addressed all the issues. 23W 14:30, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The tag on the image says a bot usually resize it within 24 hours, but the tag's been there almost a month so I'm not sure it's going to happen. Are you able to upload a smaller version yourself? 97198 (talk) 03:58, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @23W: pinging you in case you don't have this page on your watchlist. 97198 (talk) 02:32, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    @97198: Terribly sorry, I thought I had replied. Anyway, I've done it manually. Thanks again for reviewing! 23W 04:26, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Great, thanks. Everything looks good to me so I'll promote the article. Well done! 97198 (talk) 04:33, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Yay! Thank you! :D 23W 04:46, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
