A legendary wolf deity joins a wandering merchant on a trip to find her ancestral home. This episode list has had its first half checked in a peer review. I feel this list passes all featured list criteria and I will make any necessary improvements. Thanks. I have acquired permission to run two simultaneous FLCs. ɳOCTURNEɳOIRtalk 06:11, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural note: I've requested further reviews at WT:ANIME. I've attempted to word it neutrally so that it does not violate canvassing policy; if it does, please let me know so I may rectify it immediately. Thanks. ɳOCTURNEɳOIRtalk 16:13, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Quick note: not a problem, it's a good idea to offer reviews in return as well, hopefully it'll give a boost to the content improvement fraternity. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:18, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from The Rambling Man (talk) 07:53, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comments firstly an apology that it's taken so long for you get some interest here. Nevertheless, some comments for you:
  • "a wolf-deity in control of wheat" reads a little odd to me. I get the deity thing, but what does "in control of wheat" really mean?!
  • "stopped believing in her." believe it or not it's difficult to be sure who "her" is here, either "Holo" or "Kraft", neither of whom you've told me if they're female or not!
  • "released to six DVD " normally released on DVD.
  • " were released to four BD/DVD compilation " ditto.
  • No key is given for episodes with red/pink background.
  • What does # mean in the table?
  • Is wolf deity hyphenated or not?
  • "She requests to become" reads a bit odd, maybe just "She asks if she can become"?
  • "silver has actually gone down" why not just "silver has decreased"?
  • "Lawrence and Holo head to the guild that Lawrence is a member of and Lawrence is greeted warmly inside" Lawrence x 3 in one sentence?
  • " and flirts a bit with Holo" reads like a tabloid newspaper.
  • Do you really think we need to link bankruptcy and ultimatum?
  • "scrounges up a few" don't think you need "up" here.
  • "smooth talking" if you insist (I would imagine) needs to be hyphenated.
  • "haggled over pieces of pyrite, their price greatly inflated by haggling" repeat of haggle here, can we be more imaginative?
  • " in an attempt to create some space. " what?
  • "she get drunk " gets. Better still, becomes.

First off, thanks for the review. You shouldn't apologise for the lack of interest; it's understandable given the subject matter consists of long bits of prose from a non-English source comparable to much easier to verify lists with far less prose.
I've attempted to correct all the issues raised above with the notable exception of the key for the episodes with a red/pink background: both episodes are marked by a (OVA) in the Original air date column and have a note explaining it. If this is insufficient, I would not be opposed to removing the colours altogether since they add very little substance to the list itself (as they should). Please let me know if anything else needs clarifying. ɳOCTURNEɳOIRtalk 00:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment
  • I can't find the airdates in ref 3.
  • I think the refs would look better having trans_title in the webcite template.
  • I also can't seem to find the airdates for the second season.

I'll have a better look when I'm free. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 16:25, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. Regarding your points:
  • Did you check the archive? The current "original" version does not display the dates but the archived version does. This applies to the second season's references as well.
  • Appearance of the cite web template is not under the purview of this candidacy and should instead be taken up directly at the template's talkpage. I merely apply code as instructed by the template's documentation. ɳOCTURNEɳOIRtalk 16:35, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
