Rick and Morty


I've listed this article for peer review because I would like feedback on further developing it into a B-class or potentially GA-class article.

Thanks, –– FormalDude  (talk)  08:57, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Making a peer review on this...I should have one within a week. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 13:09, 12 September 2022 (UTC) @FormalDude Those are some of the major things I saw. Some other reviewers are probably a bit more eagle-eyed than me and will notice some other stuff that needs addressing. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 20:49, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
 * [...]“Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim.”[...] I think you can remove the part about Cartoon Network and just say Adult Swim.
 * I suggest removing the sentence about it being distributed by Warner Bros, because it is mentioned in the infobox.
 * In the third paragraph of the lead, I’m a bit confused on what it means by “originality”. What exactly in this context is “original”? Is it the humor/settings/characters/etc?
 * I think Screen Rant is kind of a poor citation in the premise section. Since the premise does not necessarily need citations, my preference would be just to remove it.
 * Development, Writing, and Animation sections are acceptable for GA I think.
 * Philosophy : [...] Rick and Morty has been described as "a never-ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism"[...] You should mention the author here.
 * Just a little nitpick, but some of the citations could have wikilinks to the articles of their parent outlets, such as Vice Media for VICE citations. Not strictly necessary, but a little helpful.
 * [...]“Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV. —Morty”[...] This quote is uncited. It could be removed through, since the previous sentence basically explains the point that the quote helps convey.
 * I suggest you read WP:RECEPTION and take note of some of the tips there. Since this is a very popular show, I think that the reception section can be expanded.
 * There is a lot of stuff in the other media section that is listed by bullet points. Perhaps this stuff can be merged into paragraphs or split into its own list article?
 * Thanks ! I implemented most of that, though some I'll have to save for later. The word "originality" in the lede means novel or unique and I believe is referring to the premise of the show. –– FormalDude  (talk)  03:35, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Comments from Z1720
Comments after a quick skim:


 * "Harmon would later create and produce Community, an NBC sitcom, while Roiland would work primarily in voice acting for Disney's Fish Hooks and Cartoon Network's Adventure Time." Needs a citation
 * The "Ratings" section has lots of small paragraphs, which I think can be merged together for better prose.
 * First paragraph of the comics section needs a citation at the end.
 * Per WP:FORBESCON, ref 27 is not considered a reliable source.

Hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 00:06, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Did everything but the Ratings section, still working on that. –– FormalDude  (talk)  07:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
