Talk:The Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town

Untitled

I just finished an extensive re-write : the character write-ups used to read like they were created by a P.R. intern and not like an encyclopedia entry. I have tried to limit the descriptions to facts, rather than editorialising. For the record, if a character happens to do something once in an episode, that doesn’t mean the character does it constantly. (ugh) Also, it is not encyclopedic to describe a character as “sleazy,” because that is one person’s opinion — Rampop cannot “seem to have a learning disability” because that’s an appeal to opinion and it’s first-hand research. Instead you have to describe his actions and the things said about him (ie: facts) in order to convey the sense that he’s not all there. Cheers. Muckapedia (talk) 15:35, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Deleted Entry

Under the category “Characters reappearing from Kids in the Hall” I deleted the following entry:

“The foreign prostitute (Foley). Now a nurse. Comments how she "Used to be payed $300 to do that" when asked to pee on Sam Murray's cat.

Foley’s so-called “foreign” prostitute from KITH was French-canadian, and not the Hispanic woman seen on DCTT. No link provided to substantiate the claim, original research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.255.200.63 (talk) 09:58, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

More than one Season?

Does anybody know if DCtT is getting a second season? I ask because in the promotions for the last episode they keep saying season finale instead of the expected series finale. I wouldn't be surprised at the CBC trying to hold on to the Kids, I just don't know how well they did in the ratings, and I'm hoping this is a good sign.

No, there will not be a second season. However, there is a slight chance of a sequel, like Death goes to Vancouver. --maclean (talk) 00:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Article structure

I am looking at nominating this for Good Article status. There is some over-lap in the article content so I intend to format it as follows:

1. Premise - with a brief outline of the series plot
2. Characters - listing personality traits, avoiding plot or story details, maybe some background story if necessary
3. List of episodes - episode-by-episode following of the action (plot details) that follow the narrative, avoid listing personality traits, avoiding details unnecessary for understanding the action, avoiding plot points that are just the there for jokes

I'm also considering renaming the article to "The Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town". --maclean (talk) 00:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   In the Characters section, "Ricky Jarvis (McCulloch) is a obese man who has not left his house since he lost a hockey tournament" ---> "Ricky Jarvis (McCulloch) is an obese man who has not left his house since he lost a hockey tournament".

   Check.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   In the List of episodes, "Cause of Death", please link "exhumed" to its correspondence article, as at the moment it stands out as a disambiguation. In the lead and throughout the article, italicize "The Kids in the Hall". The dashes throughout the article need to be " – ", not "—". In the Production and style section, "The Friendly Giant" needs to be italicized.

   Check.

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   File:Death-comes-to-town title-card.jpg needs a lower resolution.

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Not that much to do. If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

• Made changes here and reduce the image size by a third here File:Death-comes-to-town title-card.jpg --maclean (talk) 07:11, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
  • 412×232 px does not comply with the non-free content criteria. Please reduce the size of the image to at least 300×300 px. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 16:01, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
    • Reduced it to 300 × 169 pixels here: File:Death-comes-to-town title-card.jpg --maclean (talk) 04:23, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
      • Thank you to maclean for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:29, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

"When Love Comes to Town"

Is the title supposed to be reminding us of a certain U2 song? Varlaam (talk) 19:01, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
