List of Casualty specials

 * Nominator(s): Soaper1234 - talk  19:25, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

I am nominating List of Casualty specials for featured list because I believe that it meets the criteria of a Featured List. In my opinion, the prose is professional and the lead is engaging, with a summary of Casualty and what the article lists included. It covers every aspect correctly, is within suitable length and meets requirements of the stand-alone lists. The list is easy to manage and navigate and complies with the MOS. The list give key information about the specials in a table format, which links to a section of prose about each special. No images are in the list, and the article is not subject to any sort of edit wars or content disputes. All comments are appreciated to my FLC and are considered very helpful! Thank you in advance. Soaper1234 - talk  19:25, 23 December 2018 (UTC) Great work with the list. Once my comments are addressed, I will be more than happy to support this for promotion. If you have the time, I would greatly appreciate any help/input with my current FLC. Either way, have a wonderful rest of your weekend! Aoba47 (talk) 21:02, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Initial comments, more to come later
 * "and On Call starts a storyline" - all the other titles in this paragraph are in quotation marks, so presumably this one should be too
 * "there was several health and safety procedures" - were, surely?
 * "At the time of filming the specials, Taylor had filming on-location for four months" - "filmed"?
 * That's as far as I have got so far, I'll pick it up again later.... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:31, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your quick comments. Some silly mistakes spotted and amended. Soaper1234 - talk  18:32, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
 * More comments
 * "She explained that Sam and Iain were in "a different world out there in Afghanistan."" - here the full stop is inside the speech marks, a couple of sentences later there is a similar usage but it is outside. Minor, I know, but best to be consistent throughout.....
 * "Sam, who he described" - whom
 * "Sarker found directing the webisode a challenge, although found it enjoyable" - "although she found it...."
 * "Kent stated that Noel become "anxious detectives" as they" - Noel isn't plural, so presumably the words "and Mac" have gone AWOL?
 * "Seven cast members feature in the special, and continues in the following episode" - "which continues....."
 * "The First Noel is a Christmas-themed" - missing quotation marks on title
 * Think that's it from me........... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:41, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * All the problems have now been fixed. Thank you - Soaper1234 - talk  20:34, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support - I made a slight grammar fix to the lead but otherwise it all looks good :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:34, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comments from Aoba47
 * This sentence (The drama has aired for thirty-one series and a thirty-second series currently airs. ) needs to be updated since the show is currently airing its thirty-third season.
 * For this part (It began on 8 May 2007 and it was cancelled in August 2008), I do not believe the second “it” is necessary.
 * I have a comment about how numbers greater than ten are represented. In some instance, they are represented by numerals (as in this case, “Casualty has produced 19 special episodes”) and in other areas, they are represented by words (as in this case “The drama has aired for thirty-one series and a thirty-second series currently airs”). I would encourage you to be consistent with one way or the other. Either approach would work so it is entirely up to you.
 * ✅ - I've addressed your comments and I thank you very much for your comments too! I shall add some comments of my own to your FLC now. Soaper1234 - talk  21:46, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for addressing everything. I support this for promotion. Aoba47 (talk) 22:17, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Comments The Rambling Man (talk) 09:46, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "two series and 20 episodes" MOSNUM cats/dogs.
 * ✅ - Soaper1234 - talk  21:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "Title / Aired between" does "Aired between" mean "episodes between which the special was aired"?
 * Yes it does. Soaper1234 - talk  21:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Probably worth noting in the list which ones are webisodes.
 * ✅ - Soaper1234</b> - talk  21:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Checking random refs, e.g. where in ref 17 does it say the special aired between "Only Human" / "Secrets and Lies"? The latter isn't even mentioned on that page... Need to check all other references support these "aired between" notes.
 * I don't think the references do support this. Your comments have made me think: would it be better removing the "aired between" notes altogether? We have the air date so they just seem trival? I've changed it - see what you think. <b style="color: #D5670C;">Soaper1234</b> - talk  21:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm not clear why we need to run through the list again with the episode synopses, this could be incorporated into the table.
 * Could you explain what you mean? Is this in relation to the prose about each episode? <b style="color: #D5670C;">Soaper1234</b> - talk  21:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * User:Soaper1234, yep, that's right, we seem to go through the episodes twice, once in the list and then again with the synopses. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:11, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. The idea of the breakdown is to get more detail about the specials. The first list is meant to be a simple table layout for easy viewing. If you think one needs to go, I'd prefer to remove the table. <b style="color: #D5670C;">Soaper1234</b> - talk  18:22, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
 * No, on reflection I think I'm okay with it, I guess the first is a summary then the second is the detail, and I'm cool with that. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:07, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * So many external links, any chance of div col?
 * ✅ - <b style="color: #D5670C;">Soaper1234</b> - talk  21:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments . I have completed some feedback and responded to others. <b style="color: #D5670C;">Soaper1234</b> - talk  21:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:07, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Belated thank you for your support, . <b style="color: #D5670C;">Soaper1234</b> - talk  12:22, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
