List of Line of Duty episodes

 * Nominator(s): The Doctor Who  (talk) 07:07, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Second and final stop at FLC for a good topic I'm working towards. Still waiting on quite a few GA reviews before I can get there (plus two articles I still need to do some expansion on), so I thought I'd get this FLC going in the meantime. This is the episodes page for a popular UK television series. It has set quite a few records in terms of viewership so there were enough sources to write a pretty engaging lead so I spent a few hours tonight expanding it. I look forward and thank you all in advance for any reviews! :) The Doctor Who  (talk) 07:07, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Comments

 * "directed towards BBC Two[3] which" - I would recommend a comma after Two
 * "in over ten years[12] leading" - also a comma after years
 * "The series has been nominated for several awards[29] also gaining" - comma after awards
 * "Additionally, Craig Parkinson,[45] Jessica Raine,[46] Jason Watkins,[47] and Anna Maxwell Martin[48] also star" - I don't think you need to say both "additionally" and "also". Is there a way to reword this?
 * "special mini-episode written by the Dawson Brothers" - our article says the group is called Dawson Bros.
 * That's what I got :-) -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:27, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You strike again as my first reviewer!
 * I fixed the first four comments.
 * For the fifth: I considered listing them as Bros. based on our article, but the source I cited the credit to lists them as the Brothers (specifically "The virtual pantomime has been written by the Dawson Brothers, the comedy writers behind this year’s hilarious Line Of Duty Sport Relief Special [...]") The mini-episode didn't actually have any credits, which is what we list ours from most of the time. That said, I don't have any objection whatsoever to changing it if you still think it should be changed, I just wanted to mention my thought process first?
 * Thanks again, The Doctor Who  (talk) 08:10, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:16, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Series overview table: The "Originally aired" cell should have scope as colgroup, not col.
 * Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. All the tables are missing captions.
 * * Tables need column scopes for all column header cells, which in combination with row scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. A few of the header cells in the "Viewing figures" table are missing scopes.
 * That's all I got. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've added captions to the series overview and episode tables.
 * As for all the scopes, if I'm not mistaken, this would be a far larger issue that I need to raise at the template talk pages? It's not something I can fix at this page specifically. Template:Series overview for example is used on over 8,000 pages, at least 55 of these are featured lists. Some of which, just passed FLC this year. I'd be willing to raise the issue on the template talk pages given that I'm not a template editor (and because it uses LUA, so I wouldn't be able to fix it myself if I were), and I'm not sure how soon it can be addressed, but I just wanted to mention that it is not something that is directly within the scope of my control on this list.

 * Note: I've posted messages on Template talk:Television ratings graph and Template talk:Series overview. The Doctor Who  (talk) 20:03, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Just curious if you add any further comments on this, or were even potentially willing to support it given that it's expanded outside the scope of this article and the discussion on the template's talk page. The Doctor Who  (talk) 05:23, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the issue in the Television ratings graph template, and have made an edit request for the Series overview template since it is protected. I think we can wait a few days for this to happen. In any case, this FLC still needs a source review before it will be considered for promotion. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:46, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The edit request for the Series overview template was processed. I can now support promotion. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:30, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
