Inspector Gadget
I've dont alot of work on this article and think that it may could be featured will a little more clean up and possibley some more information.--The_stuart 23:03, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Ideas for improvement:
 * Lengthen the lead (probably two good sized paragraphs would be sufficient - include more info on the main characters and the background of the show)
 * More development in the background information would be helpful. For example, justify "After the first season the show was a worldwide hit" with what people said, size of audience, etc.
 * Remove exclamations! They don't belong in a good encyclopedia article! Ever! =)
 * Nor do rhetorical questions ("but will they make it in time?" in "Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas")
 * The "Other Incarnations" section needs work -- more info, better flow, and sentences that end (see "Gadget Boy & Heather")
 * Hopefully this is helpful! --Spangineer (háblame)  16:17, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Well, reading that has unearthed some fuzzy memories! It looks like you've taken account of most of Spangineer's comments, which is good. I've a couple more to make but these are based in part on Saturday morning memories of a long time ago so be gentle with me!
 * Is it possible (within copyright restrictions) to get a sample of Brain's voice. The description is great, and I think audio would be too. From a DVD or something? I wonder if the original voice is on any released media.
 * Didn't his car have various special abilities too? I'm sure I remember it being able grow 'legs' and dodge the traffic that way, as well as being able to float.
 * Might be worth explaining what Penny did with her Computer Book.

There's a bit of a muddle on the subject of the article; some of it is about the character, some about the TV show, and the film (which would rightly share the same article title) is barely mentioned. The lead needs to sort this out. The film needs to be mentioned much earlier (that is, in the lead) and in more detail. The list of unresolved questions gets a bit silly; such a list could probably be generated for any show and doesn't add much to our understanding of the subject. Jgm 04:58, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
