Grabbing this for review. After a quick skim, looks pretty good but there are a few things that need to be touched up. - adamstom97 (talk) 04:30, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I've added some more detailed thoughts on the article below. Have a go, and let me know if there are any problems. - adamstom97 (talk) 05:45, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Infobox

• You should include the number of episodes with the number of seasons, maybe with the number of shorts and then the number of actual episodes like you have for the runtime.

•  Done.

Lead

• To give a bit more of a balanced overview of the article, the lead should include a few more things, like when the show finished its original run, its connections to Sesame Street, and perhaps the Academy Innovation Award.

•  Done. The second paragraph (which describes how the show was created and its relations to Sesame Street) was getting too long, so I broke it into two separate paragraphs.

• The lead really shouldn't have any references in it, as it is supposed to be an overview of the information that is already sourced in the body. If there is anything there that is not already sourced in the body, then it should be added there, or removed from the lead.

•  Done.

Characters

• The character names shouldn't be bold like that, per MOS:BOLD.

•  Done.

Production

• Little Airplane needs a proper introduction in this section, with a wikilink and a bit more clarity about what it is exactly.

•  Done. I decided to call it "Selig's Little Airplane studio," which makes more sense and flows better.

• This one is pretty minor, but I feel like the image from the set should start with the paragraph about filming (the next paragraph up from where it is now).

•  Done.

Episodes

• I don't think this is the best format for this section. I recommend you use Template:Episode table, and just use the parametres you need (for instance, I don't know if the writer/director credits are that necessary for this show). You may find it better to have a couple of columns since the table will seem pretty empty with the content you have now if it is at 100% width.

•  Done. I added the template at 75% width.

• You should indicate which of the episodes are in which season with subheadings, and should use an overview table. Here is an example of a series that combines shorts and episodes into a single list, for your reference.

•  Done. I divided the two sets of full-length episodes with episode table/part.

References

• It doesn't look like all of these have full citations, or have all been archived. You should just have a check through and make sure they are all proper.

•  Done. I went through them, fixed some errors on the titles, and added the archived versions of a few changed links. Quite a lot of the refs (mostly production sites and archived Nickelodeon pages) don't actually have listed authors or publication dates.

@Adamstom.97: Thanks for the review - I've gone ahead and fixed/added everything you mentioned. I'm not too familiar with the episode table template, so if there are any glaring issues with it, just let me know. Squiddaddy (talk) 23:45, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

You could probably play around with the table a bit, but it isn't a big deal. I adjusted the episode number in the infobox to use the same formatting as the dates, but you don't have to have it exactly like that if you don't want. You've done a good job here, and I definitely think this is a good article. Passed - adamstom97 (talk) 00:23, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
