The Wire

Review section
I am nominating this featured article for review because there are full sections, as well as multiple sentences, that are uncited. The critical response section is also very disorganised and needs to be trimmed. IMDB and Amazon are also used as references and should probably be replaced. Z1720 (talk) 18:13, 16 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm not super familiar with The Wire, so I don't feel comfortable researching and rewriting the whole article, but one section that should be easy to fix is Awards. The main article for that section is an FL, so there should be plenty of sources there to improve that section. RunningTiger123 (talk) 21:23, 16 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Just a quick general note that I will offer. The article should be restructured to follow MOS:TV's section order, (ie cast and episode info above production), and I would greatly reduce the season summaries per WP:TVPLOT or just remove them entirely since there's already a list of episode and season articles, just leaving the overview table. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:22, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC The above offers great starting points for improvements, but no significant edits have been made yet. Z1720 (talk) 01:09, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC as noted above, there are issues that need addressed here, and there have not been significant fixes to the article. Hog Farm Talk 01:26, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Move to FARC, ideas, but no work yet. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  00:41, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

FARC section

 * Issues raised in the review section include sourcing and organization. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:12, 4 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delist, no work being done. I would also like to point out that the "further reading" section is horribly bloated with interviews. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 03:25, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delist, minimal engagement. Hog Farm Talk 04:20, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delist, negligible progress. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  00:46, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Delist minimal engagement. Critical response section is bloated. Further reading section needs to be culled, as noted above. Z1720 (talk) 01:02, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
