Blue Comet SPT Layzner[edit]

An anime from the 1980's; the redlinked article was directed from the Super Robot Wars page, and I added a general overview. Now other people have expanded this a lot and I'm interested in making this into a featured article. Please help with any advice/direction you may have. Thank you.

  • no references
  • expand infobox (maybe merge Staff into it)
  • story section needs a spoiler tag
    • Correction, 'story' sections should have spoilers written out of them. --zippedmartin 00:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • external links should be included for people looking for more information.
  • trivia needs to be expanded
    • "Delete triva section" is one of the first things people on FAC will say... --zippedmartin 00:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suggest creating a "Reception" section talking about ratings and show reviews. Merge US Release section into there.
...most of this information is in the second paragraph in the lead.
  • lead should included where the show was brodcasted. Japan?
  • Super Powered Tracers section is a little over detailed, If you wish, create a subpage for it and/or only summarize it on this page.
  • Image:Layzner music album.jpg is included in the article and its copyright said its a album cover. No mention of a soundtrack/album is in the article.
  • Characters section is also over-detailed. A sub-page should be created if you wish otherwise the section should include only the protagonists and antagonists.
  • image sizes are too large making the article look unprofesion. Also possibly there might be too many images, I recommend reducing.

Thats all I can see for now, more expansion would help and a good copy-edit. Thank you. - Tutmosis 00:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Main problem is huge number of completely unsourced assertions, I'm tempted to go through the article and sprinkle {{Template:Citeneeded}} around, but for instance: "was a ratings failure in its second arc" who says? what were the ratings? "the final Episode in particular feels like a rushed, incomplete mess" In who's opinion? etc etc. See also User:BrianSmithson/Writing_about_fiction. --zippedmartin 00:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Characters section does only contain protagonists and antagonists: the Show is an ensemble Cast.

And the Show was obviously a ratings failure since it was cut back from 50-something Episodes to 38, coincidentally two of the biggest Gundam Series-along with several other popular Mecha-aired at this time. As for the last Episode...it's seen in its entirety in OVA #3, wherein it makes a lot more sense and is less "edited".
