My Musical

 * Nominator(s):  MakE  shout!

I'm nominating this article for featured article because I think it's really complete, includes all needed sources and passes the criteria, plus it's one of the show's highlights.  MakE  shout! 08:21, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It appears as though you have never edited the article before? Gary King ( talk ) 09:01, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * does that matter? Fasach Nua (talk) 09:10, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course it does. "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to nomination." per WP:FAC. Gary King ( talk ) 09:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * initial object massive non free image overuse Fasach Nua (talk) 09:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * question The article contains a list of "Notable episodes", of which this is one, who decided this list? Fasach Nua (talk) 09:12, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That list is based in articles ratings and awards.-- MakE  shout! 09:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It not clear where that arose from, how are ratings and awards combined to derive notability? Fasach Nua (talk) 09:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Their notability is ultimately derived from the Wikipedia standard. There was a merge discussion several months ago; those in the navbox were excepted from the merge proposal. Sceptre (talk) 16:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - The TV.com and IMDb ratings should be removed. Internet user polls do not provide any accurate indication of fan reaction. Also, the final paragraph of the Reception section, is not only unsourced, but it makes no sense. "Scrubs lost in three categories (winners were Ugly Betty, Saturday Night Live and the presentation of the 79th Annual Academy Awards in categories "Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series", "Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics" and "Outstanding Music Direction", respectively)." This seems to be missing several words, because it doesn't read well to me. Also, "Academy Awards"? I think this has been confused with the Emmys. Also, reference 8 needs to be properly formatted.

 * (ec)Have made these changes, i think the confusion you have over academy awards/emmyys is that scrubs lost an emmy which was won by an academy awards show--Jac16888 (talk) 13:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
