Talk:Moonlight (American TV series)/GA1

GA Review[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

The article's looking pretty good (an interesting read, too!), and there are just a few things that might need fixing/altering:

Image:Moonlight series.jpg and Image:MoonlightCast.jpg aren't low resolution as they should be per the fair use criteria - could be scaled down a bit.
David Greenwalt joined the staff in May 2007 as showrunner and executive producer alongside Joel Silver; but health reasons forced Greenwalt to leave the series - don't see the need for a semicolon instead of a comma.
Due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, production of the series was halted - maybe give a rough (or not so much) date so the reader knows around what time production was put on hold.
Following the CBS cancellation, Warner Bros. is inquiring with other outlets about their interest in the show.[26] Following the CBS cancellation, Warner Bros. Television inquired with other outlets about their interest in the series - pretty much the same sentence with different tenses. The inquiry is now over, is it not?
Werksman said that Moonlight would be released on DVD sometime in September 2008 - did this ever happen, and/or did he have anything else to say on the matter? It's October now and maybe this needs updating.
On June 23, 2008 a report stated that efforts to sell the show to another network had failed, and the show was permanently canceled - what kind of report, and who authored/published it?
Although he realizes that Beth means quite a bit to him - reads somewhat informally; maybe reword.
Beth Turner, an internet reporter, and St. John's love interest - don't need the second comma as "an internet and St. John's love interest" is one clause. And can he just be "Mick" here, as that's what he's referred to as elsewhere (starting with the line below).
At the beginning of the series, she was dating an assistant district attorney - never use past tense to recount fiction so use "she dates" or "is dating".
Josef Kostan, a centuries old vampire and St. John's mentor and friend - "centuries-old" and "Mick" instead of "St. John" to avoid confusion when switching between names.
Mick becomes desperate in obtaining Coraline's secret to becoming mortal - "desperate to obstain"?
Maybe add Coraline's "Morgan" pseudonym to the Cast and characters section for clarity.
Mick encounters two vampires who are looking for Coraline. Once they leave, Mick visits Josef - Josef isn't introduced (in the plot) until this point so maybe use a simple epithet to describe him like "Mick visits his vampire friend Josef". You can probably come up with a better one than me.
I wouldn't list Anne Rice as "vampire related media"; "Anne Rice's works" might do better.
Tim Goodman of The San Francisco Chronicle considered the series "may well be the worst new fall show" - doesn't make sense; that's like me saying "I consider the series be good".
The dialogue was described as "groan-inducing" - described by whom? This can't stand alone.
The lead claims "the pilot managed to finish first among total viewers and adults 18–49 for its night" but this is never mentioned let alone sourced in the main body of the article.

A nice article which doesn't need too much work to become a GA. The GAN will be on hold for a week so good luck with making changes in that time. :) —97198 (talk) 08:01, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, I appreciate it. Anyways, I think I have taken care of all the comments, except for the image ones which I will fix soon. I couldn't think of anything better than "vampire friend" (**blushing**), I guess that's the best way to do it. So, are there any more comments based on the updates?

After some troube, I managed to upload pictures with a lower resolution. Low enough? Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 08:42, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the images: I didn't mean for you to crop parts off the images, I meant to take the entire image and scale it down, so, for example, if it was 12x10, make it 6x5. Let me know if you want me to do it for you. All other changes look good. —97198 (talk) 03:14, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well as you can see I have no idea about image resolution, so if you could do it, that would be great. Thanks, Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 05:46, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do they look to you now? —97198 (talk) 06:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They look good. The cast picture is a bit fuzzy, but otherwise it's fine. Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 06:21, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the cast image did screw up a little - I uploaded another, hopefully that works out. It's not a big deal whichever way, so I'll go and promote the article to GA but I'm happy to keep playing with the image if this one's not okay. Well done! —97198 (talk) 10:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
