The Simpsons (season 10)

 * Nominator(s): EBE123  talkContribs 19:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

This is a list about all the episodes of the 10th season of The Simpsons. It doesn't have any problems that I can see.
 * Criteria
 * 1) Prose
 * The prose is good, with very high standards.
 * 1) Lead
 * The lead is very clear and a good summery of the season.
 * 1) Comprehensiveness
 * 2) *It comprehensively covers the defined scope, providing at least all of the major items and, where practical, a complete set of items; where appropriate, it has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about the items.
 * It has lots of information, putting all into 1 list. It has images with annotations, has major items, and with words anyone can understand.  Very practical.
 * 1) *In length and/or topic, it meets all of the requirements for stand-alone lists; does not violate the content-forking guideline, does not largely duplicate material from another article, and could not reasonably be included as part of a related article.
 * All checked, it doesn't duplicate material of an article in the list or an related one. It would be hard to reasonably include it into an related article ether.
 * 1) Structure
 * Good sections, easy to navigate and well-made tables.
 * 1) Style
 * 2) *Visual appeal. It makes suitable use of text layout, formatting, tables, and colour; and a minimal proportion of items are redlinked.
 * Text layout is very good, the formatting with all is put well together. There are 2 tables with info.  Nice colours and there is only 1 redlinked article.
 * 1) *Media files. It has images and other media, if appropriate to the topic, that follow Wikipedia's usage policies, with succinct captions. Non-free images and other media satisfy the criteria for the inclusion of non-free content and are labeled accordingly.
 * It has good images. Some of them are non-free but comply with the policies.  They used to have some problems as saw on the talk page but there are none now.  They have good captions too.
 * 1) Stability
 * Edited about 1 time per month.

Comments really quick ones. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:00, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Lead too short. Probably need another two paras here.
 * Bare URLs in the refs is a no-no, use cite web or similar.
 * Pay heed to WP:DASH, where we use en-dash not hyphen to separate page ranges, year ranges etc.
 * Don't mix date formats in the refs.
 * Put references after punctuation where possible (e.g. look at [20] right now).
 * Have you asked all major contributors if they're happy for you to nominate this article? How many times have you edited this list?
 * The nominator had edited the article only once recently before the nom (and that was right before nomming the list). There have been a few subsequent edits, but I still think the major contributors should be notified and asked if this is okay, per the instructions. If they respond negatively, this FLC should be withdrawn.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 01:16, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
