Victoria Wood As Seen On TV[edit]

I'm nominating this as a Featured Article as I believe it meets the FA criteria. It has been passed as A-class by Wikiproject Television who said "It comprehensive, well structured and well written. In its current state I'd be more than happy to support it at FAC"... Bingo99 (talk) 07:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC) Nominator bingo99, 22 January 2008, 07:05 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment—Some minor concerns I see right away:
    • Too much boldface.
    • Too many single-sentence paragraphs, including in the lead section.
    • Some of the humor may not translate well (outside the UK). What does "ten minutes longer and I've splashed out on a new bra" mean, for example?
    • Use of hyphens instead of em-dashes. Also there are spaced em-dashes; the spaces should be removed.
    • What is a "northern couple"?
    • Most of the images (Image:Marjeryandjoan.jpg, Image:Kitty1986.jpg, Image:Susieblake.jpg, Image:Onthetrolley.jpg, Image:Gailandcarl.jpg, Image:Ena Sharples Parody.jpg, Image:Walterswaitress.jpg and Image:Acorn1985.jpg) are missing a "Fair use rationale" for this article.
    Overall though it seems pretty decent and may be close to FA quality.—RJH (talk) 19:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose—1c.

  • Please minimise the use of bold face in the main text, apart from the very opening.
  • Some of the references look dodgy. Ref 41, for example: who is the author? Why should we trust it? Ref 49 looks very unauthoritative. Needs a thorough audit of the refs. Tony (talk) 10:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
