The O.C. (season 4)
I am listing this, as the last in the seasons set. It has completed it's recent peer review and I believe it meets the criteria. Rambo's Revenge (talk)  17:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose

The article still needs a lot of work. For example:


 * "The fourth season of The O.C. commenced airing in the United States on November 2, 2006 in the United States, concluded on February 22, 2007, and consisted of sixteen episodes." – "The fourth season of The O.C. aired in the United States from November 2, 2006 to February 22, 2007 and consisted of sixteen episodes."
 * I don't understand how the current version is incorrect. This is also seems to be a standard opening in season FLs (e.g. The other seasons of The O.C. use it as does all Lost and Degrassi seasons). Rambo's Revenge (talk)  18:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * My version has the same information but it's more concise. Gary King  ( talk ) 18:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:46, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment - please delink the mass use of wikilinks in references. Used once and only once is usually best. Mitch 32(UP) 18:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * . I have delinked a lot of these but I'm not sure that references fall under overlinking. I have never seen this requested and notice that of the present four most recently promoted FL's suffer from what you'd call overlinking in refs, whereas this has no linking in the refs at all.

 * Comments
 * Change "In America" to "In the United States" in the Notes section.
 * I have to disagree with Mitch32 above. Most refs sections I've seen are masses of blue, and that's okay.

 * Comments
 * "This was the first season without one of the "core four" characters of Ryan Atwood, Seth Cohen, Rachel Bilson, and Marissa Cooper;[4] however, executive producer Stephanie Savage said that Marissa's death "set up a new direction for the show".[5]" ← I understand you're trying to be concise here, but I had to read it twice to glean what was going on. Perhaps you could be a little clearer?
 * You don't need to link to The O.C. in the second paragraph of the lead; I think "the show's creator..." would suffice.
 * "that maybe wasn't as evident last year" ← could "last year" link to the article on season 3?
 * "Former main cast member Mischa Barton did not return because her character, Marissa, died in the third season finale" ← I don't much like how straightforward this is.
 * , I don't understand. Relative to the season 4 article it is that straight forward. Details of her death should be explained in the third season finale article not here, in a season in which she does not feature and a season of which her death is not part of. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  17:37, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * "This increase was mostly due to 6.7 viewers, 76 percent more than the season average, tuning in to see the final ever installment of The O.C.[30]" ← 6.7 million?
 * Support. Seegoon (talk) 17:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
