Family Guy (season 1)

 * Nominator(s): Pedro J.  the rookie 19:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because after the Peer Review it had, I believe that it's ready to become an FL Pedro J.  the rookie 19:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but it needs another copyedit. Just glancing at the article, I've found numerous grammar mistakes and a few spelling errors. Some of the stuff also needs to be reworded/rephrased, sometimes due to repetitiveness. Ω  pho  is  19:56, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * User Ruhrfisch made a CE this afternoon. Pedro J.  the rookie 23:42, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Still has some grammar issues. As well, a lot of the prose is written in a passive voice and should be rewritten in an active voice to strengthen it. Ω  pho  is  16:13, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I will ask a Copy editor to give it a check. Pedro J.  the rookie 16:25, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Still a few grammar/punctuation problems. Also, why are the episode titles in the prose now italicized? They should be in quotes. Likewise, series titles (like in the reception section) should be italicized. Ω  pho  is  19:29, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright the episodes and shows concern is done. Could you specify some of the grammatical errors, since I believe the CE would have shorten the amount. Pedro J.  the rookie 20:01, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * "While working on the series, Larry and his dog Steve slowly evolved into Peter and Brian; the rest of the series characters were added later." - "series" should be "series'"
 * "After the pilot aired, the series was green-lighted." - should be "green-lit"
 * "The season was produced by Fuzzy Door Productions and 20th Century Fox Television; it aired on Fox Broadcasting Company in the US. The executive producers for the season were David Zuckerman and MacFarlane;[10] the latter acted as show runner.[11] The producer for the season was Sherry Gunther, with co-producers Mike Barker and Matthew Weitzman;[12] Other producers included Craig Hoffman, Danny Smith, Gary Janetti and John Riggi.[12]" - "US" should be spelled out as "United States". The second sentence is terribly phrased.
 * Stuff like that. Ω  pho  is  20:18, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay I fixed the I think I improved the second one. I will check over the artical to check anyother errors. If you find any yourself please list them. Pedro J.  the rookie 00:40, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I don't have time to look through the article and point out every single error. That's the job for the copyeditors. Ω  pho  is  16:39, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Ω  pho  is  16:21, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Neutral for now. I'm still not sure about the prose, as has been indicated by Giants below. It still fails a little in terms of brilliance and feels pretty rushed out, especially in the summary of the episodes. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 05:20, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Reference inconsistency again. You are wikilinking IGN in some of them, and in some you are leaving it out. Same goes for all of them. Either you link all the reference parameters, or you leave them. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 05:35, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Pedro J.  the rookie 06:06, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

After another careful look-through of the article, I believe all the concerns have been addressed, I can now support the promotion of this list. Good job everyone. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 05:57, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Comment: There are currently two real issues with the image. Firstly, a forward facing shot (like http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516KRQ21TQL._SL500_AA300_.jpg) would be preferred, as this current one has two copyrights- the box and the photograph, which is a whole can of worms we don't need to open. That one only has the box. Secondly, it has no rationale for this use. J Milburn (talk) 11:47, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * In fact, looking again, you're using the volume 1 cover, not the season 1 cover, which would be preferable. J Milburn (talk) 11:48, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Pedro J.  the rookie 14:10, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The new cover could do with having its whitespace cropped (and then being tagged with non-free reduced for good measure) but that solves the problems I raised. J Milburn (talk) 14:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Pedro J.  the rookie 19:30, 15 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Support - looks good to me now.  Jujutacular  talk 04:08, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Hello. I have looked this article over and believe it meets the criteria for FL, though I believe my active participation on improving related articles (about individual episodes) puts me too close to really put forward support. However, I am willing to make any last little improvements that anyone feels are necessary to get this article passed. Grammar and style issues, in particular.

 * Support Pedro has done a good job improving the list, and it seems to meet the featured list criteria. Gage (talk) 04:31, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
