List of The Masked Singer (American TV series) episodes

 * Nominator(s): Heartfox (talk) 23:07, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it serves as an attractive and informative compilation about the episodes in the American reality singing competition series The Masked Singer. Three seasons have aired thus far on network television (Fox) and I believe it contains valuable and accurate information that is useful to readers. While the series is currently airing (the finale is on May 27, 2020), edits will be made at least weekly until then to add the ratings for each episode. However, I believe the rest of the article is stable (e.g., the ratings section is complete (at this point) in my opinion). This is my first nomination of any kind for good article/featured list/featured article, etc., so I'm hoping this will be an insightful experience. Heartfox (talk) 23:07, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

 * File:The Masked Singer Common Logo.png has an appropriate FUR
 * Is that bar chart for viewership really beneficial? Can't say I remember seeing anything like that in similar episode list pages.
 * I added the bar chart as I saw that some other featured lists of episodes (Game of Thrones, The Office, Seinfeld, etc.) have them, but I've removed it now as it doesn't really serve a purpose at this point. In my opinion, it's useful for readers to see the changes in viewership over the series' history, but given that there hasn't been much change with The Masked Singer, I agree with you that it's not beneficial at this time.


 * Don't italicize "Costume Designers Guild", "Academy of Television Arts & Sciences", or "Vulture"
 * Done, but is there a particular reason why Vulture isn't italicized? Heartfox (talk) 21:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Because it's a website without any print edition SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 23:23, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Not sure how trustworthy "Zap2It" or "Showbuzz Daily" are, but the former also shouldn't have italics regardless
 * Zap2it is run by the company Nexstar Media Group, so I think it's pretty reliable for episode guides. However, I'm not sure it's necessary given that the episodes cite themselves with the titles and air dates? Heartfox (talk) 21:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Showbuzz Daily is what is being used all over wiki (and in some media) now for TV ratings since TV by the Numbers shut down. It's run by two former network executives. The references are replaced when Nielsen releases DVR ratings with slightly updated viewership, so that's why there's only one of them in this article right now.

 * Good enough for me. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 23:23, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * For citation 11 ("Watch The Masked Singer: Season 3, Episode 8 'Old Friends, New Clues: Group C Championships' Online"), I would add an accessdate and/or when the episode aired
 * Done. Heartfox (talk) 21:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * this is just from Montreal Gazette, so delete the Variety part (citation 56)
 * Done, but I wasn't sure about this since it's a Variety article being used in the Montreal Gazette. Heartfox (talk) 21:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Everything should be set after that. SNUGGUMS (talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 20:14, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Support page now looks good enough to be FL as far as I'm concerned. <b style="color:#009900">SNUGGUMS</b> (<b style="color:#009900">talk</b> / <b style="color:#009900">edits</b>) 23:23, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Comments from Guerillero

 * Per MOS Image you really should use thumb to add a caption to the logo. The alt text also needs some work -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  19:38, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments. I've changed the alt text to hopefully be more descriptive. Is it okay to leave the image as "frameless", though? I don't know what I would be explaining with a caption. Title cards of TV series in infoboxes don't use captions. Heartfox (talk) 15:56, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Manual of Style/Captions is pretty clear on the need for a caption. In a info box there is still a caption of sorts -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  17:19, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I've added a caption, taking inspiration from the first note in WP:CAPOBVIOUS. Do you think it works? Heartfox (talk) 22:52, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Source review - Pass
Doing now Aza24 (talk) 01:03, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Got nothing, consistent dates, authors, publishers and publisher links. Everything is reliable, easy pass for source review – good work here. Aza24 (talk) 01:14, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments Support from Shearonink
Have read through the List a number of times, will read through several more times before possible support. Shearonink (talk) 17:46, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. The structure and style are both especially well-done and the List is nicely laid-out. A little thing perhaps but I really like the color-coding of the table headers (I guess that would go under Criteria 5a?) - visually appealing and clearly delineates the different seasons. Shearonink (talk) 06:20, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your kind comments, . Sorry I didn't notice them earlier! Heartfox (talk) 17:53, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
