Characters of Parks and Recreation

 * Nominator(s):  Hun ter   Ka  hn  16:26, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

I've been working on Parks and Recreation coverage on Wikipedia since the show began, and so this list is the culmination of more than two years of gathering and disseminating sources in that time. I believe list is comprehensive, well-written and thoroughly sourced with reliable articles. I intend one day for this to be the anchor article of a WP:GT. I'm fairly new to the FLC process but am ready and anxious to address any concerns or questions! —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  16:26, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Can we tweak the infobox image to somehow address the fact that its not a picture of the whole cast? Donna, Ron Swanson and Jerry are missing I believe.
 * I added a sentence to the infobox. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  00:13, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Use WP:CITEKILL for a cleaner approach to the references, whenever its overflowing, for eg: "rather than guest stars or non-regular supporting cast members.[1][2][3].."
 * I'm not sure if this is in WP:CITEKILL, but Parks and Recreation and Parks and Recreation (season 1) use a "Notes" section for sentences where a large number of citations are needed. I've started to do this in Characters of Parks and Recreation as well but I ran out of time. I'll finish this later today or tomorrow. Does this work?
 * Done with the Notes section now. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  17:39, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Remove capitals from reference titles.
 * Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by reference titles? —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  00:13, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The reference titles are usually just the headlines that source articles use, like "Misguided, She Yearns to Guide" for reference 1. These shouldn't be in all capital letters, even if given that way in the source. The only problem one I see is reference 2 ("PARKS AND RECREATION", which should just be "Parks and Recreation").

 * OK, thanks. I think I've removed all the capitals now. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  17:39, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Check the italicization of online vs. printed media in the references. For eg: The A.V. Club is a printed source actually, and you have it italicized in some references and in others, its non-italicized.
 * I found similar inconsistencies with Punchline Magazine, and Time wasn't italicized but should have been. I think I've fixed them all now. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  00:13, 18 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: A number of articles on the characters have been proposed for deletion/merging. I think that would need to be resolved before this could be promoted. J Milburn (talk) 14:54, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, unfortunately, this is a recent development. I've started a centralized thread on the talk page to discuss this, so if anyone could provide input there, I'd highly appreciate it. —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  21:39, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

What is the status of this nomination, please? The Rambling Man (talk) 18:29, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * There is still an ongoing discussion at Talk:Characters of Parks and Recreation about whether some of the individual character articles should be merged or not (anyone who would care to provide input there would be very much appreciated, by the way), so as the nominator I'd be OK with this FLC being withdrawn for the time being. I expect to bring it back down the road when and if this discussion is resolved. (I may also nominate it for a peer review before doing so.) —  Hun ter   Ka  hn  19:21, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
