List of 24 episodes[edit]

I had hoped to get this nominated and hopefully promoted before the new season starts on Jan 11, but I don't think that will happen now. This list follows the most recent styles of episode-list FLs, with writers and directors, and has followed concerns raised at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of The O.C. episodes, in that the tables are not transcluded from the season pages and production codes have been removed. No episode summaries are given here because they are on the individual season pages. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:42, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: First time reviewing, so bare with me here! It's just a quick question but what does the "Season" column in the tables mean? There is no Season 24 last time I checked ;). The Helpful One 14:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's supposed to mean the episode number within the season. I suppose it's not really necessary; each season has 24 episodes and there is an "overall" episode # column. I'll remove it if you wish, I am not attached to it. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 04:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you could remove it, or perhaps you rename "Season" to "Hour" or something like that? The Helpful One 10:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, all good Supporting. The Helpful One 18:11, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The series is is presented in real time format; each one-hour episode depicts one hour's events, and each season a twenty-four hour period in the life of protagonist Jack Bauer (played by Kiefer Sutherland), a CTU agent. - 1)Double is 2)I don't think the one hour's events needs an apstrophe 3)add is before a twenty-four hour period...
    • done, though I changed "one hour's events" to "one hour's worth of events" -- is this better?
      • Thats fine.--Truco 19:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Season 7 will begin on January 11, 2009, with a two-night, four-hour premiere over two consecutive nights. The remainder of the episodes will air weekly on Monday nights. -- Source?
  • As well as each season of 24, and 24:Redemption, being available to purchase as DVD boxsets,[6] episodes are also available digitally. - Source for being available digitally?
    • They appear in the following sentences.
  • In the series overview table, I would add a footnote to the 24: Redemption stating why it's there not to confuse the reader.
    • What do you mean? How would it confuse the reader? 24: Redemption is mentioned in the Lede so it's not the first time it's being introduced to the reader.
      • How did I miss that, eh.--Truco 19:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Refs 24-26 have date linking problems.
    • done: The cite template needed fixing.
      • Gotcha.--Truco 19:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Is the refs for the airdates also verifying the directors and titles?--
    • done: I just checked, and yes they do. I've added the links to those columns too.

Thank's for the review, just that one Series overview table thing I need clarifying. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 04:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - excellent list that now meets WP:WIAFL after my resolved comments.--Truco 19:30, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

  • "As of May 21, 2007, 144 episodes over six complete seasons have been broadcast." Comparative quantities should be written out the same.
    • done
  • "As well as each season of 24, and 24:Redemption, being available to purchase as DVD boxsets,[7] episodes are also available digitally." Can this sentence be rephrased? It is rather clumsy. Maybe: "Each season of 24, as well as 24:Redemption are available to purchase as DVD boxsets; episodes are also available digitally."
    • done
  • The date formats of the retrieval dates are inconsistent; some are in [Month day, year] and the rest are in [Day month year]. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:04, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Are you sure? I don't see any. Can you specify which refs, please?

Minor comments This list needs a picture.—Chris! ct 20:09, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of Featured episode lists don't have a picture. If they do it's an image of a DVD boxset casing. I don't believe that satisfies WP:NFCC#8: Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. I don't think having that picture helps people understand anything in the list. I am open to any suggestions for a picture, if you have any.

  • "For the fourth season, Fox scheduled 24 to begin midseason, with a new episode airing every week. Season seven was..." Up to this point you've mentioned viewing schedules of the first four seasons. It seems to abruptly neglect season 5 & 6. Might be worth mentioning it continued beginning midseason for five and six too.
  • done
  • "Season 7 will begin on January" - Season seven.
  • done
  • "as well as 24:Redemption are available" -> well as 24: Redemption are available (italics and spaced per this)
  • done
  • "Every episode is also available at the iTunes Store to download and playback on home computers and certain iPods." Reword as it is country dependent. Whilst all six seasons are available in US & UK stores, only seasons 1 & 6 are available in the Australia store.
  • done - thanks, I didn't realise that.
  • Series overview should also space 24: Redemption
  • done
  • It's hard to see the refs [31] on the "Television movie" against the title colour. Any chance of changing the purple?
  • done
  • Season 7 - "Written By" isn't centred.
  • Looks it to me..
  • This is what I see, despite the coding being seemingy identical to the other seasons above it. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 11:51, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's weird. It's only happening in IE, not FF. I don't understand why it's doing it. I can't get it to fix. :/ Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 18:15, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I couldn't fix it either, and I won't oppose on seemingly non-actionable grounds. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 00:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unaired Season 7 directors. Do we have cites for Cassar & Turner directing the first four.
  • The first two episodes aired tonight. I have added directors and writers for those -- they're given on-screen. Tomorrow I will add those. The episodes are self-references.
  • OK, this will be fine after you've updated it following the airing of the first four episodes (tonight or tommorrow). "Season seven will begin on January 11, 2009, with a two" in the lead will also need a change of tense. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 11:51, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Overall it looks good and it is nice to see you back again. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 20:45, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
