Talk:The Secret Life of the American Teenager

Season Five

Season five needs editing, as there is speculation included in the description. There is also the line "Let's see what happens with the gang!!" which, in my opinion, is rather unprofessional; a factual, objective article should not be used for promotional means.

Hi everyone!!

I just wanted to let everyone know I’ll be editing this page heavily over the next month; ending around early October. I plan to focus on the organizational and visual aspects of the article.

I’ve read through both the current and archived version of the talk pages. Please feel free to respond to any of my edits–I’m more than happy to communicate regarding my changes!! I’m looking forward to improving this article with everyone.

Thanks!

Series Summary

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there was ever a series summary? I think that would be incredibly helpful for the introduction section. I noticed that is a preference on the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television page.

If we decide we want one, should we restore it from an older version of the page? I'm sure a summary could also be formed through the season 1 recap.

Thanks!

Information Included in the Season Recaps

Hey everyone!

I was just copyediting the season recaps, when I noticed the information within them is inconsistent. For example, Kathleen's new marriage is mentioned, but it is never mentioned that they end up getting divorced. Also - it is never discussed that Kathleen and George were ever married, just that they begin dating in season 5. I think, for new readers, keeping this information consistent is so important.

I guess I was wondering: what information are we wanting to include? I noticed there are season pages, so perhaps we should stick with the main plots?

Thanks!

Critical Response Positive Reviews

Hi everyone!

There seems to be an imbalance between the positive and negative reviews in the critical response section. Also - the positive feedback only has one source. Is there any way we can expand on the positive response? Especially because the article claims the show had mixed reviews. It is so important to remain consistent with the information we choose to include!

Thanks!

Additionally, there is only one positive source in this section. It is poor practice to cite only one source and discuss only one opinion that does not seem incredibly valuable to the article.

Let me know what you guys think!

Season 4 Graduation Party

Hi everyone!

I noticed that the season 4 description ends with a comment that there were relationships ruined during the graduation party. What relationships were ruined? I think it would be stronger to describe what happened, especially since that season's synopsis is already looking quite short. It also removes the ambiguity from the sentence, which is important for an encyclopedic format.

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Citation in Ratings Section?

Hi everyone!

I noticed there was a quote in the ratings section without any citation. Can anyone find a source for this quote?

Thanks!
