List of channels on Zattoo

 * Nominator(s): ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫  T 06:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

This list received a strong clean-up by me. I C&P this list into my sandbox and pasted back to this list. With the help of How to fix cut-and-paste moves, the history of the sandbox was merged with this article. Hopefully this will be promoted, as I see no single item that is against the criteria.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 06:48, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Lead needs serious English-speaker copyedit (you've been told this sort of thing before)... e.g.
 * "It is availabe, besides on computer, " typo, poor grammar.
 * done
 * "rate to 1,2 MBps. In opposition to the standard channels, the high quality have got the" - 1.2 not 1,2. Second sentence is grammatically bad.
 * done
 * "Since 2007 the countries Poland and Austria were expected to be included, but they since have not been added" - two "since" in the same sentence is poor.
 * done
 * These were just examples. The whole lead is in need of work. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:16, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Star TV is a dab.
 * I used dabsolver shortly after I nominated this list.
 * I think you're mis-using the caption function of the table, how does "Source" help screen-readers/others understand what's actually in these tables?
 * Any suggestion?
 * Channel Name->Channel name.
 * done
 * "Zattoo Foreign Language Bundles". where is this referenced?
 * in the lead
 * Lots of dependency on first-party source (i.e. Zattoo themselves), frankps.net looks like a blog so can't see it passing WP:RS, and I'm not sure how www.iptv-anbieter.ch is reliable either.
 * frankps.net is reliable: (from the about page) ...I have been writing for IsComputerOn and I was the editor of TheQtopian (a newssite about the embedded operating system Qtopia from Trolltech). But I now mostly write on this blog. I urge you to subscribe my blog’s RSS feed. If you are interested in more news from me, I also blog once in a while in Norwegian at frankps.posterous.com...My name is Frank Paul Silye (alias frankps), and I saw the light from a hospital lamp for the first time back in January 1974. My hometown is Flekkefjord, but I currently live in Oslo, Norway. I work as a computer engineer at Department of Sociology and Human Geography. If you want to learn a bit more about me, please have a look at the link section, my LinkedIn profile, my Last.fm profile and the pictures that I am constantly publishing on my Flickr account. It’s not often that I read books, but here is a few books that I have read. Oslo is a city that never sleeps, there is always something going on. More or less all culture events are listed at underskog.no, where you can also see what I and some of friends plan to attend (in Norwegian and account needed).

 * Redlinked category not a good idea. Missing a g?
 * done
 * Second external link "Lists"->"lists".
 * done

 * Oppose
 * Is this even notable? The main article, Zattoo, is about 38 hours from becoming stubbed or even a redlink. Neither the old version of that or this give the sources to ensure notability... and even if Zattoo is notable, why is this?
 * Yes it is. Google proves it. It is one of the most popular IPTV.
 * And where are the independent reliable sources to show this? Why do we need both articles? Courcelles 12:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I can not give you indie sources, that would be simply too much. There are a lot of sources in German, but a very few in English. So that explains that you don't see any third-party sources. What do you mean with "both" articles? The main article is (simply) about Zattoo and this about the channels.
 * Why are you using in-line external links as sources, instead of proper footnotes?
 * Don't quite understand you.
 * Every table has, as its header, code that presents itself as a link and "Source". That's a) not the proper use of table headers, and b) against MOS for external links.
 * OK done.
 * Why are the languages in grey and parenthesis?
 * Because it is the Language icon template
 * Why are you using this template? They are for indicating language in reference links, not for use in article body. Courcelles 12:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * So simply replace it with letters?
 * Why use green for two things? Has a little "Skittlepedia" feel in the usage of colours.
 * Don't see any problems with that, as I use keys.
 * Concur the lede could use a rigorous copy-edit.
 * I do think it is acceptable now.-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 12:19, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * No, it really isn't. It needs careful attention from a native speaker of English. Courcelles 12:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Courcelles 10:57, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

This nomiation is premature. I suggest a thorough copyedit by a native English speaker, a check of my handy list, possibly a peer review to check through notability and reliable sources, and then a renomination here in a few weeks. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:43, 14 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, come on! It has enough notability and has reliable sources, as I explained you above! The lead could be easily CE!-- ♫Greatorangepumpkin♫ T 12:47, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
