 * Comment Please be aware that I am still finishing the notes section of the episodes within the article. Should be finished by the end of tomorrow. DYK nomination should not be promoted until it is complete. -- Ratio: Scripta  · [ Talk ] 15:03, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Completion of notes is taking longer than expected. Have just hit a technical editing referencing problem. Which is currently under discussion in an attempt to be speedily resolved. Referencing issue can be seen here (User_talk:Ratio_Scripta) I will post here again as soon as the problem is resolved. Thanks.

 * Please don't add DYK symbols to your own comments; those symbols are for reviewers' use. Thank you, r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 05:42, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg I don't find the hook particularly interesting. For someone like me who doesn't know much about cameras and stuff it's just a bunch of gibberish; what I get out of it is basically "... that some show I've never heard of is produced using cheap software that even your college buddies have"; if that's the effect you're going for, it can be brought out more clearly without all the technical stuff. r ʨ anaɢ (talk) 05:46, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know not to use symbols I did not know that. I understand that the hook may not appeal to all refers interests so I shall add some alternative hooks some time today or tomorrow, in order for a consensus can be reached as to which one is most appropriate. Please suggest an alternative hooks if you think of any. Kind regards, -- Ratio: Scripta  · [ Talk ] 06:24, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: Added an alternate hook (ALT1). Will also add more later.-- Ratio: Scripta  · [ Talk ] 06:28, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: Added an alternate hook (ALT2).-- Ratio: Scripta  · [ Talk ] 07:05, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I like ALT2. Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:53, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Any sources aside from the White House? Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:39, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Question response Yes there are sources asides from The White House, will be adding soon will most likely fit in with the top sections (not episode section) as there are few articles written about individual episodes. Article are mainly written about the show as a whole. I should get around to it sometime this week. I have nearly finished the 2011 episode list. It would be great if anyone could help Ive written a How to Guide on how to source and reference episodes on West Wing Week's Discussion page. Kind regards, -- Ratio: Scripta  · [ Talk ] 05:16, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I have added three mores sources (Apple, Switched - Huffington Post and the article from BBC News). The BBC article is rich with information which will be added to the article.
 * I will take a look later (got some school work to take care of); it is best to use more than just self-published sources as you still have to establish notability. A critical reception section would be nice too. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:07, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Will do there is plenty to write about in respect to a 'Critical reception' section. I imagine the article will take at least another week to bring up to adequate standards if I am working by my-self on it. -- Ratio: Scripta  · [ Talk ] 09:24, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * To avoid confusion, the critical reception bit is not required for DYK. However, showing notability is. If you have already included quality sources providing in-depth coverage, I'd have no problem with passing this. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:46, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Still a little thin. A couple more should push it past the threshhold, although a critical reception section would make the article even better. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:53, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I have now added a critical reception section which has a decent word count, but there is still more to add.-- Ratio: Scripta   · [ Talk ] 16:06, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I have now added an New York Times source, I believe this accompanied with the BBC source should establish notability. If more are required please let me now. Kind regards, -- Ratio: Scripta  · [ Talk ] 16:23, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
