List of Moonlight episodes
I believe the list meets all the featured list criteria. There has been much improvement over the last month or so.  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  17:34, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments


 * Don't italicize publishers that aren't publications in "References" per MOS:TITLE
 * Add an image of a DVD boxset, if one exists (I think it has one?)
 * Expand contractions, including "wasn't", and "doesn't"

 * I believe I have made the appropriate changes, though I am not sure with publications should not be italicized.  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  10:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Italics have been removed, where applicable. – thedemonhog   talk  •  edits  18:15, 8 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose from


 * Needs an image, preferable of the box set if available
 * The ratings column seems rather superflous and is not a common featured in an episode list. Its crunching the table and making it look crowded. As the ratings of the show is already better summarized in the lead, so I'd drop the column all together. With it gone, the airdate can stop wrapping. Also seconding note that TVByTheNumbers does not appear to meet WP:RS
 * Change Episode # -> Ep # to reduce the width of the column
 * Missing information about availability on DVD. Since its a single season, a mention in the lead is fine, but should be mentioned somewhere.
 * List needs a copyedit and some of the summaries are lacking what appear to be pertinent details. A few prose issues I spotted:
 * "Though two puncture wounds to the neck make it appear that the girl was killed by vampires, Mick knows that this was not the case." but doesn't say how or why he knows this?
 * "Fortunately, Mick comes to her rescue, using his vampire strength to overcome the true villain." - ortunately? says who? the "true villain" is a bit dramatic sounding
 * "Mick knows Spalding is not the reformed man he pretends to be, and feels responsible because..." responsible for what, Spalding being in jail, escaping, being alive?
 * "Beth's friend Julia writes a book about Spalding, showing him as a great man. When Spalding kidnaps Julia" - why did he kidnap Julia if she wrote a book about how great he is?
 * "After finding out about Mick being a vampire, Beth works hard to wrap her mind around this new information, which proves difficult." overly verbose. Can be said much more simply, such as "Beth struggles to accept Mick being a vampire."
 * "Mick finds Leni in the desert just before the hit man arrives, but the pair flee into the desert and get stranded. " confusing
 * "After being forced to feed on Beth's blood, Mick has been successfully avoiding her." switching tense and wordy. "After being forced to feed on Beth's blood, Mick avoids her."

As a side note, why are there individual articles for the first five episodes? Only the first shows any notability. 3-5 are pure plot summary and IMDB trivia. I'd suggest considering a merge/redirect back to the list for those and axing the links. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 19:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC) -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 19:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Why is TV by the Numbers not a reliable source?  – thedemonhog   talk  •  edits  19:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * As noted above, it appears to be a self-published blog/website. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 19:56, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The DVD hasn't been released yet, so I'd go with a screenshot of the intertitles. Matthewedwards (talk· contribs· count· email) 21:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Amazon has a ad/poster that would also be a good choice. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 23:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * All taken care of.  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  11:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The rest of the episode summaries still need copyediting (those were just a few examples) :) -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 14:55, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Please check the page again.  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  10:28, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It needs to be copyedited by someone who isn't the primary editor. :P -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 15:31, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * And how can I get someone to copyedit it?  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  15:50, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Can try asking one of the folks listed at Peer review/volunteers -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 16:12, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The lead has been copyedited.  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  01:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The whole article has been copyedited.  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  05:22, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Support, all comments have been addressed. One minor note, though. In the ep 13 summary, it mentions Mick and Beth are considering a relationship. Ep 16 says Beth wants to stop dating because of the vampire-human thing. When did they go from considering to dating? :P -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 18:09, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed.  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  08:30, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

 * You have a dead link per this.
 * Not sure your FU rationale for the image is correct - doesn't look like a cover to me, looks like an advert...
 * Image (on my browser - Safari) overlaps the table in the following section.
 * Agree with Collectonian re:copyedit.


 * Your first three concerns are no longer valid. – thedemonhog   talk  •  edits  18:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * My third is still valid I'm afraid. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:53, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. – thedemonhog   talk  •  edits  18:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The TOC added by Collectonian has fixed the problem.  Corn.u.co.pia ♥  Disc.us.sion  08:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
