Blackface controversy

On 26th of June, Netflix pulled the episode from their streaming service due to the use of blackface. Reference: https://www.thewrap.com/community-advanced-dungeons-and-dragons-episode-removed-netflix-blackface/ I'm not sure where to put this information.

Wow, that's unfortunate... he's supposed to be a dark elf. 8.37.179.254 (talk) 19:02, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

They seem to have put it back on Peacock 203.5.70.152 (talk) 10:10, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Yep, I do see that they have it: [1] Can anyone find a source to see when it was added to Peacock? BOZ (talk) 11:41, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

I couldn't find one a couple of months ago. It's worth noting that there's no unified "they" in the sentence above: Netflix and Hulu removed the episode and Peacock is a different company. The episode continued to be available through some companies in some regions, not to mention DVDs, so this was never a lost episode, and there are far too many (unverifiable) platform moves the show has experienced since 2011 to list here. — Bilorv (talk) 08:22, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks for looking into that. :) BOZ (talk) 12:49, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (Community)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Some Dude From North Carolina (talk · contribs) 18:02, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 18:02, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Lead

• The phrase "games creator Dan Harmon" makes it sound like he made D&D - try rewording.
• Is there a reason it can't be mentioned it was Chang (Ken Jeong) wearing blackface?

Plot

• This section is 371 words (361 without actor names), so that passes WP:TVPLOT.
• "feigns an interest" should be "feigns interest"

Production

• "He also" → "Harmon also" (to avoid confusion with previous sentence)
• With the comment above, change the next sentence to "He credited".
• Add a year date for Saving Private Ryan.
• Same thing for The Fellowship of the Ring.

Reception

• This section looks good.

Removal from streaming services

• No issues here.

References

• Archive sources (you can also use archive.today).

Some Dude From North Carolina: All items have been addressed except for the years in parentheses – I haven't seen that in many other TV articles. Do you have a link to that policy? Otherwise, I'm inclined to leave them out; they disrupt the lines without adding any necessary information (in my opinion). RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:41, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

@RunningTiger123: Though optional, I thought it would be better to have consistency with other GA-articles mentioning year-dates from Community, including "Paradigms of Human Memory", "Pilot", "Regional Holiday Music", and "Remedial Chaos Theory". Anyway, since it is optional, I'll pass the article as all my other suggestions have been addressed. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 23:57, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by RunningTiger123 (talk). Self-nominated at 03:26, 24 April 2021 (UTC).

• The article was promoted to GA on 19 April, long enough, referenced, neutral and no copyvio-obvious. Earwig picked up this but it's probably them copying from the article. The hooks are referenced and interesting. The image used the article is free. QPQ done. Corachow (talk) 19:30, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
