Veronica Mars (season 3)

 * Nominator(s):  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion  

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel it meets the current criteria. Please note that although this is currently a good article, I have reformatted it to become a featured list.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   07:39, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Is it possible (for Article History purposes) to have this as a GA and FL at the same time? I think you should get this delisted first. Dabomb87 (talk) 12:51, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I wasn't too sure about this, so I just nominated the article. I have inquired for this article to be delisted at GA, so hopefully there is no issue here (at FLC).  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   13:21, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The article has now been delisted from GA, so there should be no problem. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:06, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments by  T ru  c o  
 * Lead
 * The third season comprised of 20 episodes and concluded its initial airing on May 22, 2007.
 * The season continues the story of Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell), now a freshman studying at Hearst College, while continuing to moonlight as a private investigator under the wing of her detective father.
 * The third season received generally positive critical opinions, ; however , at least one reviewer expressed disappointment with the series finale, mainly because it did not provide closure for the storylines and characters.
 * Cast and characters
 * Fan reaction to the character was generally negative, after Veronica witnessed Jackie talking to a friend while dating Wallace. -- you should clarify that the reaction was negative after that episode or storyline
 * Thomas blamed the character's reception on his error in judgment; he had hoped fans would question whether it was Jackie or Veronica in the wrong, however the audience automatically assumed that it was Jackie. -- the final however should be formatted as ; however,
 * There should be a link to Parker Lee in this section.
 * Release
 * The first two season of Veronica Mars aired on UPN, however in 2006, CBS Corporation decided to merge UPN and Warner Bros. into The CW.  -- link to CW
 * In addition to all the aired episodes, DVD extras included "Pitching Season 4", an interview with Rob Thomas discussing a new direction for the series that picks up years later, with Veronica as a rookie FBI agent; "Going Undercover with Rob Thomas"; webisode gallery with cast interviews and various set tours; unaired scenes with introductions by Rob Thomas; and a gag reel. -- this needs to be formatted better
 * Better?  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   10:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep.-- T ru  c o   17:51, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Beginning with the eleventh episode, ratings dropped to a consistent viewership of a mid - 2 million per episode,[28] and the final episode before the hiatus was watched by 2.66 million viewers.
 * When the series returned from its hiatus, viewers had decreased to 2.35 million,[30] and the final e two episodes garnered only 1.78 and 2.15 million viewers, respectively.
 * Awards
 * The third season was nominated for two awards . : Kristen Bell was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television,[33] and the series was nominated for the Writers Guild of America Award for On-Air Promotion (Radio or Television).
 * Episodes
 * In - late March, Thomas stated that although the film was not green-lighted by the studio, the possibility was still there. Thomas revealed that the film would take place prior to Veronica's graduation, and feature Wallace, Logan, Mac and Weevil.
 * Should it be "In-late March" or "In late-March"?  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   10:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry. The latter is correct.-- T ru  c o   17:51, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to contradict you here, but there should actually be no hyphen. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:01, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, removed then.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   03:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, was I wrong ;)-- T ru  c o   15:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * References
 * There is an inconsistency with the linking of the publishers, either link all of them or none at all.-- T ru  c o   19:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I have fixed all issues except for those I have replied to above. :)  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   10:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe all issues have now been resolved.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   02:04, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Support -- Previous issues resolved to meet WP:WIAFL; great work.-- T ru  c o   15:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Otherwise, everything looks pretty good. Nice work :) — 97198 (talk) 06:48, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * the latest victim of the Hearst serial rapist, a storyline begun in a second season episode - I had to read this twice to understand, so maybe say "... rapist in a storyline begun..."
 * The third season received generally positive critical opinions - receiving a "review" makes more sense than receiving an opinion
 * Veronica's ex-boyfriend and Lilly's brother Duncan Kane - Lilly has not yet been introduced, so it doesn't make much sense to introduce Duncan as her brother
 * fan interest dominating the Logan-Veronica relationship - a word synonymous with "support" would work better than "dominating"
 * Parker is Mac's extroverted roommate at Hearst College and "everything that [she] is not" - who said this? Just add "according to [somebody]" at the end
 * It's picky but the link to 2006-07 United States network television schedule should use an endash, not a hyphen
 * Veronica Mars ranked #138 out of #142 - should be "138th out of 142"
 * Maybe separate awards from ratings in a new paragraph
 * There are too few awards to make a full (nice-looking) paragraph, so I compromised.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   10:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The quote "played with perfect, sneering entitlement by Ryan Hansen" isn't really a review of the third season if the character's gone - perhaps just say that the reviewer missed the character
 * gone from punky to-dare we say-preppy - should use emdashes, not hyphens
 * head shaved--Veronica had missed - should use emdash
 * Veronica and Tim set out to prove Professor Landry is innocent - "prove Professor Landry's innocence"
 * Why aren't any of the writers or directors linked?
 * I linked every writer or director with a page in every instance (I don't think this is considered to be overlinking).  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   10:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for another great review. Hopefully everything has been satisfied.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   10:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Support Changes look good, well done. — 97198 (talk) 07:12, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:02, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:02, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What makes http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31898 reliable? Dabomb87 (talk) 22:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Despite the ref's title, it is only used to cite that the site's writer ranked the season on his end of year best-list. A review isn't controversial information, so I'm thinking it should be allowed.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   08:42, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Support, nice work! — The Le ft orium  14:19, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you! :)  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   05:41, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I have mentioned this FLC in a post here. Please note that my proposed change would not affect the status of this FLC in any way (or the status of any current FLs that are former GAs). -- Scorpion 0422  20:15, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
