Talk:New Kid on the Block

Good article review

I have a special connection to this episode, which is why I have decided to review its article. I share my birthdate with its original broadcast. Exclusive! Never before has my age been revealed on Wikipedia. Anyway, I am putting "New Kid on the Block" on hold. It is well written, factually accurate, neutral, stable and illustrated, but the reception section is too short and the plot section is too long (not to mention that the whole article is only 4.5 kb of readable prose, but this is inactionable). I would like to see more documentation of response and at least one hundred words chopped from the plot section. The production section describes how the writers came up with storylines that were ultimately not used and some information on how they came up with what was used would be appreciated. –thedemonhog talk • edits 20:32, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'll work on the plot as soon as possible. As for the production, everything relevant is mentioned there, so I can't expand that. The reception is short, yes, but its as big as it will probably get, as I'm sure you can appreciate the difficulty in finding reception for a sixteen year old episode. I'll see what I can do. ~ Qst (talk) 19:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Fifteen.  ;) –thedemonhog talk • edits 19:38, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, yeah - I was counting just by years. :) Qst (talk) 20:45, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay; apologies for the bad plot, it got edited and expanded unnecessarily as I forgot to watch this page. Anyways, I've reduced and rewrote it, so hopefully everything is now to your liking. :) Qst (talk) 23:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I am going to wait a few days in case Scorpion comes in and adds to the reception section. –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, but I will probably be able to speak with him either today or tomorrow on IRC. Qst (talk) 11:00, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I've spoken to him on IRC, and I believe he said he would see what he can find. I myself will take a look around, too. Qst (talk) 10:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I've searched through Newsbank, Season 4 DVD reviews to see if the episode is mentioned, and Google, and I cannot find anything. When I contacted Scorpion0422 on IRC the other day, he said he's see what he could find (as I mentioned above,) but he may have forgotten, so I'll see if I can speak to him again as soon as possible and see what he can do, as he is a lot better at finding reception than me, anyways. Thanks. Qst (talk) 14:18, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Technically, this articles could be failed at any point, so if you need to do this, please go ahead and I'll continue to search even further for reception. Qst (talk) 16:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I am late in making a final decision. I would like the reception section to be expanded, but I know that that is a difficult task. The article meets the criteria as it does address the major aspects of the topic and stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary details so I am passing this as a good article. Keep up the good work, Qst! –thedemonhog talk • edits 17:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
