I've listed this article for peer review because I want to improve it by removing any grammatical mistakes, spelling errors, and general copy editing. In the near future I want to make this article for featured list.
Thanks. — Jimknut (talk) 22:18, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
Brianboulton comments: I have very little to say about this comprehensive and professionally presented list. I have made the odd typo correction to the text, which otherwise looks fine. Just three points:-
- The lead should note that the series were shown worldwide, and were popular in numerous countries, not just in the US.
- I've added a sentence stating that it was aired worldwide.
- With this in mind, and given the international character of this encyclopedia, I wonder whether it is appropriate to show in the overview table the competing US programs, as this information is only relevant to US readers, and to the first showings; the episodes have surely been rerun many times.
- Bonanza aired in the United States before cable TV, home video, and the internet began, thus people watching prime time TV in America had only the three competing networks or local independent broadcasts to choose from. Therefore, I think that it's relevant to show what the other networks had stacked up against Bonanza. I disagree that this information is relevant to only US readers, as it is quite possible for anyone in any country to be interested in the history of TV in another country. Heck, I'm an American and it would interest me to find out what else aired on British TV up against Upstairs Downstairs or Doctor Who. (And even if it was of relevence only to Americans that would be quite a large group of readers.)
- As this is a list of the episodes in the Bonanza series, is it relevant to include information about the TV movies and prequel series, which are not really part of the original series?
- Yes, I think so. David Dortort was involved with these shows and there is a connection to the original so I think a "passing nod" is appropriate.
That is honestly all I can find to criticise. Well done indeed. Brianboulton (talk) 23:28, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
