50th Academy Awards

Nominator(s): Birdienest81talk 09:06, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

I am nominating the 1982 Oscars for featured list because we believe it has great potential to become a Featured List. I followed how the 1929, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 ceremonies were written.

• Consider linking ABC in the lead.
• "comedian Bob Hope hosted for the" => "comedian Bob Hope hosted the ceremony/show for the".
• "viewers in the United States" Should end with a full stop.
• Vanessa Redgrave is first mentioned in the "Winners and Nominees", but isn't linked there.
• "was held at the same exact location and the same date 50 years later of the first meeting by the organization." => "was held at the same location as the first meeting by the organization, exactly 50 years later."
• "controversy from Jewish group for its anti-Israel commentary". which Jewish group?
• "both Jewish Defense League protestors burned" makes it seem that there were only two protestors.
• "The Color Purple has since equaled this record with 11 nominations and no wins." to "The Color Purple later equaled this record with 11 nominations and no wins, in 1986."
• Rest looks fine. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:31, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

• @MPGuy2824: Done - I've ready your comments and made the appropriate changes to each comment.

"controversy from Jewish group". Does this mean Jewish people in general, OR a particular Jewish organization? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:10, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

ChrisTheDude

• "acting, directing, screenwriting for the same film" => "acting, directing, and screenwriting for the same film"
• "And we couldn't think of anyone better than anyone better suited" - some repeated words there
• "In celebration of both the fiftieth anniversary of both the Academy and the Oscars" - don't need to say "both" twice
• That's all I got in addition to what MPGuy picked up -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:32, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

• The lead section contains original information and does not summarise the entire article. It summarises the winners but there is nothing about Redgrave's speech and the reception.
• The article is inconsistent in its use of words and numerals for numbers. It says "50th Academy Awards" and "40th ceremony" but "nineteenth time" and "fiftieth anniversary". Considering the article title, you should probably stick to all numerals, with the exception of film titles and 0-9 (per MOS:NUMERAL).
• The info about the original works in Best Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium is not on the Oscars.org page. You need another source.
• The original works are inconsistently linked: the ones with a different title from the movie get a link, but not Equus (play) which also has an article.
• Change Pentimento (book) to Pentimento: A Book of Portraits to avoid redirection.
• Add a piped link for La Femme et le pantin/The Woman and the Puppet or change to the English title, which the Wikipedia article is under.
• ...Redgrave remarked in her acceptance speech,"And I salute you, and I pay tribute to you, and I think you should be very proud that in the last few weeks you've stood firm, and you have refused to be intimidated by the threats of a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums." There is a space missing. It's unclear who Redgrave meant with "you" here; this could be resolved with some explanatory word or by quoting more of the speech. The quotation is cut off. According to other sources, the sentence continued: "...a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums whose behavior is an insult to the stature of Jews all over the world and their great and heroic record of struggle against fascism and oppression." Either expand it to the full sentence or make it clear that it is not the full sentence.
• Remove unnecessary words like "moreover" and "additionally".

Nothing more that I can spot, other than the things others already have mentioned. The sources I looked at check out, with the exception of the part with the original works, and assuming good faith for all the ones I can't access. (You've written 1982 in the nomination, but the article is about the 1978 Oscars.) Ffranc (talk) 15:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

List of heads of government of Liechtenstein

Nominator(s): TheBritinator (talk) 14:13, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

For the past year I have worked to improve this list to it's fullest potential by filling a great deal of the biographies, images and accurate information. While my work is not quite done, and may not be for a while, I believe this article fits the FL criteria in recognition of my efforts. TheBritinator (talk) 14:13, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Comments

• Lead is too short and should be expanded
• "The head of government [....] is the title of the head of government" - this wording is quite clumsy.
• If the title of the head of government is "head of government", where does the title "prime minister" fit in?
• "Provincial administrator (1861–1921)" - if the translation of the German title is "state administrator", why is the heading "provincial administrator"?
• In the Provincial administrator (1861–1921) table, why are there dashes not numbers against two of them?
• Why are two of the cells in the first column of that table coloured?
• "Prime Minister (1921–present)" - why is this the heading if the title of the post is "head of government"?
• In this section, why do some of the rows not have numbers in the first column?
• Why are some of those cells coloured?
• Why do some of the rows have a buff-coloured background?
• In the Deputy head of government table, what does FBP stand for? VP? VU?
• Why is there a dagger against Nigg's date of leaving office?
• There's only one ref in each of the first two sections - does each ref really source everything in each section?
• There are no refs at all in the Deputy head section
• Ref 1 has an "author" of "www 20minuten ch, 20 Minuten, 20 Min, www.20min.ch", which obviously isn't the name of the person who wrote it -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

  Alright noted, those are mostly left before my time and untouched by myself, but I can get to work on that no problem. As for the "dagger", it's a cross to indicate death in office, I didn't add it, but I've also seen similar things done is contemporary articles so I paid no bother to it, could be made into a note instead however. The two administrator's with dashes were due to them being provisional or unofficial, this could also be made into a note if nessesary.TheBritinator (talk) 01:53, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

  @ChrisTheDude I have attempted to address most of the things you have pointed out, may you give an updated opinion? Thanks. TheBritinator (talk) 15:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

MPGuy2824

• "The head of government of Liechtenstein (German: Regierungschef), or informally as Prime Minister is the" Seems weird, maybe "The head of government of Liechtenstein (German: Regierungschef), known informally as the Prime Minister is the" works better.
• "It is appointed by the sovereign". I think "They are appointed by the sovereign" works a bit better.
• "the Landtag of Liechtenstein and is to command the confidence of both the prince and Landtag." "should command" or "is expected to command" works a bit better.
• "but is not required to be a member of the Landtag themselves, only eligible." to "but is not required to be a member of the Landtag themselves, although they should meet the eligibility requirements for that office." or "although they have the same eligibility requirements for that office", depending on which is more accurate. Also, add a ref for this.
• All tables need to have captions. Use the sronly template, if you think it isn't appropriate to show the caption.
• The table in the "Deputy head of government" section could have the name column converted into a row header.
• The use of the phrase "born-died" isn't consistent across the tables. Is this phrase even needed. Please look at a few recent-ish FLs on a similar theme and use what is used there.
• The Monarch column in the PM section isn't the most important one and shouldn't be the row header. Maybe the name column
• That's all I got for now. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:34, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

• Some problems still remain:
  • The monarch column is still a header in the List of PMs.
  • In some tables the political parties have their colors next to them, while some don't. This should be consistent across the whole page.
  • In the list of deputy PMs, one of the "Independent" cells doesn't not have the right color which matches the other similar cells. You can consider using the Template:Full party name with color to keep colors consistent.
  • The first table says "born-died", while the other two say "Birth-Death" -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:54, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

• Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. Visual captions can be added by putting |+ caption_text as the first line of the table code; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |+ {{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
• Tables need column scopes for all column header cells, which in combination with row scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Column scopes can be added by adding !scope=col to each header cell, e.g. ! rowspan=2| {{abbr|No.|Number}} becomes !scope=col rowspan=2| {{abbr|No.|Number}}. If the cell spans multiple columns with a colspan, then use !scope=colgroup instead.
• Tables need row scopes on the "primary" column for each row, which in combination with column scopes lets screen reader software accurately determine and read out the headers for each cell of a data table. Row scopes can be added by adding !scope=row to each primary cell, e.g. | bgcolor="{{party color|Independent politician}}" |'''1''' becomes !scope=row bgcolor="{{party color|Independent politician}}" |'''1'''. If the cell spans multiple rows with a rowspan, then use !scope=rowgroup instead.
• Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN 03:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

  @PresN I have taken the time to add these things as you have recommended. In addition, I have fixed most of the wording and citations that were pointed to me by @MPGuy2824. May you verify that I have done this correctly? I believe I have as I checked other recent FLs, but I would like to make sure. Thanks. TheBritinator (talk) 14:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

  You missed a couple things, which I've fixed. --PresN 01:48, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you. TheBritinator (talk) 15:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

@TheBritinator: are you still pursuing this nomination? It appears that not all of MPGuy2824's concerns have been addressed (I just fixed one, but the monarch column is still erroneously a header (! instead of |). @ChrisTheDude: Do you intend to return to re-check your review? --PresN 14:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

• @PresN: - apologies, I have been away on holiday. I will endeavour to take another look -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

I am yes, I was waiting for further input. I can take another look at those fixes. TheBritinator (talk) 17:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Comments

• "They are appointed [...] and is expected" - this doesn't seem to work grammatically
• "a new constitution was ratified in which the office was replaced by Prime Minister." => "a new constitution was ratified in which the office was replaced by that of Prime Minister."
• "The incumbent Prime Minister is Daniel Risch since 25 March 2021" => "The incumbent Prime Minister is Daniel Risch, who has held the post since 25 March 2021"
• "a elected assembly" => "an elected assembly"
• "The council and role of district administrator lasted from 23 May 1849 to 20 July 1852 when it was abolished by Aloys II" - the council and role of administrator are two things, so "it was abolished" doesn't work grammatically
• No explanation for buff-coloured background of e.g. Feger. I thought it related to their being acting heads, but there is at least one acting head not coloured in this way
• "Defunct from 1936." - this isn't a complete sentence so shouldn't have a full stop.
• Is there a particular reason why the head of govt tables have a "time in office" column but the deputy head one doesn't? And the former have the party after the dates but the latter has it before the dates? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:20, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

  For the last one – I would like to structure it similarly to the other tables, but to be honest, I don't really know how it works. I have tried. TheBritinator (talk) 12:43, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this nomination has been open for a long time without any support. In order to keep the queue manageable, I'm going to have to close it.

List of Colorado state symbols

Nominator(s):  Buaidh  talk e-mail 18:54, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

I am nominating this list for featured list because it is a complete, fully referenced, and well organized presentation of the symbols of this state. This list has been peer reviewed at Wikipedia:Peer_review/List_of_Colorado_state_symbols/archive1#List_of_Colorado_state_symbols Thank you,  Buaidh  talk e-mail 18:54, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

• Why is the lead only one sentence? Speedy fail of criterion 2. WP:FL#United States state symbols has six that are featured, those can be starting point examples.
• I'm not sure why this particular stamp is considered a state symbol; I found at least five other stamps [4][5][6][7][8] that are for the state. I'd remove, as well as the quarter (America the Beautiful quarters also has one for CO).
• USS Colorado (1856) is named after the river, not the state
• I don't think any of the List of United States Navy ships named after US states are state symbols anyway.
• Is there a reason the "image for the motto" is just the motto in all caps, bold, and "V" for the "u"?
• "The Centennial State" is also not an image, just use a dash if there isn't a suitable free image.
• The citation for this nickname does not address the adoption of the nickname.
• I would not include coat of arms as a symbol unless there is good sourcing specifically for it beyond its implicit use as part of the seal's design.
• Footnote 1 is not loading for me.
• I'm not sure why "United States Department of Agriculture" is the 'Adopted' for the soil. Does that mean the USDA chose this soil on the state's behalf?

Reywas92^Talk 22:45, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments. You've done a great job with the List of Indiana state symbols.

• I've added to the lead. I'm not sure the list lead needs to contain information that is also included in the list entries themselves.

• This is still not adequate, surely there can be other ways to summarize the topic like in the other examples.

• Only one stamp has been issued in honor of the state itself. The America the Beautiful quarter for Colorado honors Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve and not the state itself.

• I don't know what you mean by that. This stamp was issued to celebrate the state's centennial. My first linked stamp was issued to celebrate the state's 75th anniversary. I'm not convinced stamps are considered state symbols, at least not only this one in particular. The 50 State quarters honored each state with an issuance, but these also aren't the same kind of state symbols as the rest of the list, and none of the other FLs include them.

• The entry for the USS Colorado (1856) explains that the ship was commissioned before the creation of the Territory of Colorado.

• Right, so again, why is it listed here as a state symbol? It was named after the river, not the state, so it's not a state symbol by any stretch.

• The Lists of United States state symbols includes ships.

• Right....it includes List of U.S. state ships, which are ships respective state legislatures have named as their official state ships. It's not just any ships that were named after states, a common practice by the Navy. Colorado has not designated a state ship, and I don't think the ones named after it are necessarily state symbols.

• The state motto is in Latin and classical Latin had only one letter V. The letter V was not separated into the letter V for the consonant sound and a new letter U for the vowel sound until the Middle Ages.

• Yes, I know that but why did you put that here? Are there any Colorado-related sources that spell it this way? Moreover, that's not an image, so why are you just restating what's in the Symbol column in the Image column?

• I think the nickname text is adequate.

• It says "Centennial State" in the Symbol column and then "The Centennial State" in the Image column. But that's not an image so what's the point of duplicating it?

• I think the explanation of the nickname origin is adequate.

• No, it's not. The citation there is simply the proclamation that verifies the date Colorado became a state, but it doesn't verify when the nickname was adopted. Did people immediately start calling the state that – What's the origin there? Also the wikilink redirects to Colorado so it's not very useful.

• I think the explanation of the adoption of the coat of arms is also adaquate.

• No, because when I look up CRS 24-80-901 in Lexis cited there, it just describes "Size and description of seal", not that a coat of arms was adopted. Just taking those elements from the seal doesn't mean the state has ever used a coat of arms itself, and I don't think the implicit design should be considered a symbol separate from the seal without the state having ever designated it. I add a cn tag to Seal_of_Colorado#Coat_of_arms; what use has there been besides in this 1876 book?

• Thank you for letting me know about this. I've updated Footnote 1.
• The Department of Agriculture has designated a state soil for each state. Please see State Soils. The Indiana state soil is Miami Soil.

• That says "Each state in the United States has selected a state soil, twenty of which have been legislatively established." I'm assuming Colorado is not one of the legislatively established states, but that still implies the state selected it, not USDA.
• Also, I don't think license plates count as state symbols either, these can change regularly. Reywas92^Talk 15:29, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Again, thank you for your suggestions. Yours aye,  Buaidh  talk e-mail 04:43, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Review from Hurricanehink

Hello there, I came here from my own FLC about California, so I figure, why not another C state themed FLC review?

• I agree with the above, the lead is far too short. Give an explanation of what Colorado is, more about the history, stuff. For example, it seems that the flag has changed a few times, and you have a few different dates under "Adopted". An explanation for why some items have multiple dates would be useful. I think there should be a "desciption" section, based on Indiana's list, which is a featured list.
• "The U.S. State of Colorado has many adopted symbols and emblems." - how many?
• "Most of these symbols and emblems were adopted by acts of the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Colorado" - how many
• "A few of these symbols were adopted by executive action of the Governor." - how many
• "The seal and coat of arms of the Territory of Colorado were specified by the First Session of the Territorial Legislature but not created until November 11, 1861." - what do you mean "specified"? It appears that it was a week after the motto was decided. Would that be the second session of the legislature? But then that contradicts what's said in note A:

• The Coat of Arms of the State of Colorado was implicitly defined by the legislation creating the Seal of the Territory of Colorado on November 11, 1861, and the Great Seal of the State of Colorado on March 15, 1877.
• So which is it?

• "Federal agencies designated some of these symbols in honor of the state. - yea, speaking of, you're missing a stamp. There was a 75 year anniversary stamp in 1951. Double check to see if there was another anniversary stamp, maybe 125 year anni?
• Could you explain what the CRS and SB stand for in the "Adopted" column?
• Is it proper for a page to say See Colorado state logo.? I realize that it's trademarked, but IDK, that seems off. Maybe have a note that says that the image is trademarked, and that no free image exists? I'm not sure here.
• Reference for note b?
• Why is Colorado's slogan included if it's unofficial?
• Why the bare link for the state amphibian, cactus, pets, and summer sport?
• Reference for the SB/HB/EO for state grass/reptile/tree/fossil?
• When did the state soil get recognized?
• I'm not a fan of note D within note C. I like the bit about the Colorado River and how it wasn't in the state of Colorado until later, but I'm guessing the state was named after the river, so that etymological importance should have a place in the article, not just a note within a note.
• Is it worth adding Colorado Day?
• Why is this in a note? The Colorado Sesquicentennial will be observed on August 1, 2026, four weeks after the United States Semiquincentennial.

All in all, the article is pretty good, but there are a lot of small things that prevent me from supporting at the moment. I appreciate the effort, and I think you can still get a featured list out of this. Please let me know if you have any questions. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Critical Role (campaign two)

Nominator(s): Sariel Xilo (talk) 22:23, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Second time nominating; since the previous nomination closed, all outstanding suggestions have been incorporated (plural verbs fixed, links to monsters/concepts added in episode summaries, additional images). In terms of major new additions, the Production and format section has been expanded with a new paragraph on filming/set design (to go with corresponding image) and there's a new subsection on the 3 specials that have since aired (with corresponding images). There are 3 new plot sums (for the specials) and the Reception section has a new paragraph on set design & objects used in play. I'm really hopeful that the episode list will be promoted this time. Looking forward to the reviews! Sariel Xilo (talk) 22:23, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Comments from TheDoctorWho

• "Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role" is a MOS:SEAOFBLUE.
  • Removed the "web series" link. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• Same with "Critical Role Productions' Twitch".
  • Rephrased. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• Any particular reason why the lead doesn't list Apha alongside Twitch and YouTube?
  • When addressing the blue links above, I rephrased to include Alpha. Let me know if it is unclear. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• This is a unique article in that it uses "campaign" as a disambiguator rather than "season" or "series", I'd consider removing the season number parameter from the infobox and adding |season_name = ''Critical Role'' (campaign two) to override it, just so the infobox title matches the article title.
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• I'd also suggest adding the cast members to the infobox using the |starring= parameter.

• The networks should be broken up using {{plainlist}} per the infobox instructions.
  • Attempted to use the plainlist but I'm not entirely sure what I did wrong with the code format; switched it to Template:Unbulleted list which I could format correctly. Sariel Xilo (talk) 03:36, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• In the first sentence of the production section you utilize military time, but the lead uses twelve-hour time. I'd make it consistent either way.
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• Just to clarify, was there a YouTube livestream on Critical Role's channel, or was it only available there after the Twitch broadcast? If there was a YouTube livestream:
  • Was the Twitch overlay only available on Twitch or was it also available on the YouTube livestream? If it wasn't available on the YouTube livestream I'd change that portion of the sentence to read something along the lines of "but it is not available on the YouTube platform or Twitch video on demand (VOD) viewers."
    • There was a YouTube livestream so I've clarified on Twitch overlay. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Did the YouTube livestream have auto-generated captions as well? If so, "VOD" in that sentence should be replaced with "broadcast".
    • Looking at the source, it seems to just be referring to the VOD process. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• "Mercer is positioned behind a gamemaster's screen In the inset portion" de-capitalize "In".
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• Portions of the first few paragraphs in the production section don't feel like production information? It is relevant, but perhaps would be better suited in a "Release" or "Broadcast" section per MOS:TV.
  • Moved paragraphs 1 & 4 into a new Broadcast section. Slight rephrase. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• The image referencing the four-camera setup needs alt-text.
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 17:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• Wikilink Skeleton crew in the COVID section.
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• I assume DM in this section refers to Dungeon Master? If so, I would add that as an abbreviation in parenthesis in the cast section ("Campaign Two had eight cast members—seven players who form an adventuring party and the Dungeon Master (DM)").
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• Underneath the Episodes section header add {{see also}} and point to List of Critical Role episodes.
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 01:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• The episodes lists should utilize |LineColor = #FFDD00 so that the line color matches the table color.
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 03:36, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• Wikilink Streamy Awards in the Accolades section.
  • Done. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
• An additional link to the 11th Shorty Awards may be useful here, perhaps "Shorty Awards (11th)" or something along those lines.

The amount of prose in this article almost leads me to suggest that it should be at WP:FAC instead, and I'd likely insist if it was a typical series with ~15-20 episodes. But with, 141 episodes I can see why it's here instead. Regardless, I commend the work that's been done here so far and want to say good work! TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! I somehow missed it in my watchlist but I'll take a look now and start updating over the next few days. Sariel Xilo (talk) 00:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Not entirely sure how to add alt text to the 4-cam image since that's not parameter in Template:Image frame; the example uses |base_alt= but that didn't work when I tried it. If I have time tomorrow, I'll take a look at some of the image template options to see how to fix it. Sariel Xilo (talk) 02:52, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

If you set it up like this: [[File:Critical_Role_C2E98_"Dark_Waters"_screenshot.png|250px|thumb|right|Four camera layout during an ocean battle scene in the Episode: "Dark Waters".***INSERT CITATION HERE (''I had to take it out of the code box due to errors, it's the same citation currently cited in the article'')***|alt=InsertAltTextHere]] it should work. The "thumb" in the link makes it a thumbnail identical to the frame template. Unbulleted list appears the same as plainlist, and is given as an option in Infobox instruction so that works for me! That said, it doesn't need updated to plainlist, but if you're curious; I believe the only reason that plainlist didn't work for you is because the bulletpoints (*) have to be flush with the left side of the code editor, you can see an example with this article and can see how it appears in the editor. Given the updates made, I'm inclined to support assuming that the alt text and references sections are dealt with. Once again, fantastic work! TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:09, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining the code issues! I always forget that the bullet points can be persnickety. I've updated the image format & added the alt text. I'll ping when I'm done with the references. Sariel Xilo (talk) 17:23, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

@TheDoctorWho: I believe I fixed all the refs (except 46 which doesn't have an author). I relied on ctrl-f to find the ones you called out but I sometimes transpose lines when working in the source so I would appreciate a double check to make sure I didn't miss any. Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Looks great! Apologies on 46, not sure what happened there. Striking what I said above since all of my comments have been addressed to reiterate my Support. Best of luck with any future reviews! TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:52, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)

• Tables need captions, which allow screen reader software to jump straight to named tables without having to read out all of the text before it each time. For the template you're using, visual captions can be added by putting |caption=This is a caption in the Episode table template; if that caption would duplicate a nearby section header, you can make it screen-reader-only by putting |caption={{sronly|caption_text}} instead.
• Please see MOS:DTAB for example table code if this isn't clear. I don't return to these reviews until the nomination is ready to close, so ping me if you have any questions. --PresN 03:39, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

  @PresN: I looked at the tutorial but I'm not entirely sure if what I did is enough. I added |caption={{sronly|List of episodes in 2018}} in the first episode table which is similar to the caption in the episode table at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (season 1). If that caption is enough, I'll replicate it in the other tables. But if not, I would appreciate additional guidance. Thanks! Sariel Xilo (talk) 04:31, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

  Yep, that works fine, though it turns out this template works differently than others, and the "sronly" isn't needed, as the caption is always hidden- so you can do just "|caption=List of episodes in 2018" if you want. --PresN 04:07, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

  Cool! I removed the "sronly" & added captions to all of the episode tables. Sariel Xilo (talk) 04:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this nomination has been open for a long time without much support, and no comments at all for over 6 weeks. In order to keep the queue manageable, I'm going to have to close it. Feel free to renominate it in the future; things that have helped nominations get more/quicker reviews in the past include advertising the nomination to likely editors and wikiprojects, as well as mentioning it when reviewing other FLC nominations. --PresN 16:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
