List of Gunsmoke television episodes

 * Nominator(s): Jimknut (talk) 01:14, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I am re-nominating this for featured list because Gunsmoke is a television classic and warrants a good episode list page. This article has had a peer review and a previous FLC listing. All comments for improvement were addressed. All that is needed now is some support. Thanks Jimknut (talk) 01:14, 27 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Support - great work. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 18:10, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:50, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

These shouldn't be too hard to address. Good job on this list, it's great to see a FLC attempt for an older show instead of all the recent ones (where sources are must more abundant). If you have any questions or when you are finished, please let me know on my talk page. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 22:53, 21 March 2010 (UTC) Support All of the above issues I raised have been sufficiently addressed. Good work on the list! --Happy editing!

 * Comments I have a few issues that should be addressed before supporting.
 * Could you state in the lead why the show was eventually cancelled?
 * A statement has now been added.
 * "According to Alan Wagner, who was the network's vice president at the time, "It's better to get rid of a program one year too soon than one year two late." Should it be "one year too late"? --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Whoops! This is what happens whecn your up two too late editing Wikipedia pages!  It's now fixed.
 * Before each season, producer is followed by a colon (as well as notes), but starring is not. To remain consistent, it would be helpful to add colons after each of the "Starring" for all of the seasons.
 * No, I disagree. I think "Producer" and "associate producer" warrant colons unless I change then to "Produced by" and "Associate produced by" (of which the latter sound tacky).  "Starring James Arness ..." flows better without a colon.  I could change this to "Stars:" or "Regular cast:"  but I think it's fine the way it is.
 * To be consistent with the formatting of the other lines before the tables, a colon makes more sense. It seems out of place and starting off with "starring" makes the line appear to be a sentence, when it is only a list of the cast members. I think "regular cast:" would work well or actually writing it as a sentence. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I give in. It's now changed to "Regular cast:"
 * There seems to be a lot of overlinking. Could the directors and writers be linked to only once in each season?
 * See resolved comments from the last FLC; these are not overlinked. KV5  ( Talk  •  Phils ) 23:19, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * KV5 summed it up right ... and I've gone over this linking routine numerous times.
 * Sorry, I didn't view other reviewers' comments. The rationale in the guideline doesn't make sense to me, but I'm not going to fight it. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Unless there are guidelines that state otherwise, consider renaming the section "home release" to "home media release". Also there should be a brief mention in the lead about the releases to better summarize the article.
 * Now changed to "Home media release".
 * Are there any relevant external links that can be included?
 * Amazing but there doesn't seem to be any significant web site devoted to this epic TV series. I have, however, included a link to the web site of the Museum of Television Broadcasting, which seems to be a somewhat scholarly site.
 * Would the IMDB and TV.com links be helpful for including in the external links? --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Anything else? Jimknut (talk) 03:04, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Concerns address and another external link added. Jimknut (talk) 03:27, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
