Talk:Boys' Ranch

Peer Review
All the Peer Review recommendations have been worked on. We're ready to take it to GAR.--Scott Free (talk) 19:43, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Duplicate references
You might want to consider consolidating duplicate references, e.g.,


 * Simon & Kirby, Boys' Ranch, 46

Use the template for page numbers.

And I believe the "Footnotes" section is more propertly titled "References".

Thanks for the input - if you want to do that reference consolidation thing, please feel free to do so.--Scott Free (talk) 18:11, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Moved from article
Western-style adventures involving boys in ranch settings already formed part of American popular culture, with the juvenile fiction of authors such as Frank V. Webster and Dale Wilkins as well as 1946 MGM film Boys' Ranch.

they launched their new title in the wave of a Western trend in American comic books.


 * This should be easy to prove. Is there no overview on western comics? Possibly in a book on western media? Well dagnabit there should be an article on western comics - I probably mentioned this the other month on WT:CMC, when discussing comics genre articles. Now might be the time to at the very least stub it and see what comes of it (but if anyone feels they can also give it structure...). (Emperor (talk) 22:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC))


 * Sounds like a needed article. Go for it if you have some sources. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 00:54, 30 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I've got nothing I'm afraid, or I'd have started it by now. (Emperor (talk) 02:02, 30 November 2009 (UTC))
 * Robert Harvey's book may have some useful material? (gbooks preview). –Whitehorse1 00:19, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I think the main problem last time was with the Mendryk references from the Simon & Kirby Blog, so I replaced some of those with more conventional sources and added a few more references.--Scott Free (talk) 16:41, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * The other issue was images. Personally I feel we could easily get rid of the Kirby and Simon photo, it seems more appropriate to their personal articles whereas here it bumps up the image number and it also squeezes the text between it and the infobox (which is something I like to avoid if possible). I don't think it helps explain anything here or adds that much and could be something that is holding the article back. I say, remove it and see how it goes.
 * Anyway I dropped a note in over at WT:CMC and hopefully it'll get a few mores eyes on it before the assessment starts - it was close last time and I think it has a much better shot this time round. I've had a quick look through and couldn't find much of concern and hopefully a more in-depth read should spot anything that needs a tweak (or a source) but it looks good.
