List of Shin Lupin III episodes[edit]

The following is an archived discussion of a featured list nomination. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the article's talk page. No further edits should be made to this page. The closing editor's comments were: 16 days, 3 support, 2 oppose. Fail. --MarcK 23:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This list has come a long way. Originally, it was simply episode numbers and English episode titles. Now, the list contains a short introduction, episode titles in English and Japanese, and (where appropriate) the titles of the episodes for their American release. It also contains the original air dates of all the episodes, and the list is also properly referenced. --AutoGyro 15:06, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, I went back and edited the intro section and references. I think it's in the proper format, now. As for the Japanese titles, I'm in the process of adding them, but I will have to finish that later today as I have no time at the moment. --AutoGyro 16:28, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Finished adding Kanji titles. Intro is fixed and citations are correct :) --AutoGyro 21:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments
    • If the series is called Lupin III, why is the list called "List of Shin Lupin III episodes", and what is its relation with List of Lupin III episodes?
    • These lists are normally taken to include OVAs and TV specials (unless tehre are enough that a separate listing is warranted, in which case it should be linked.
    • That {{main}} at the top does not belong. (it works the other way, from Lupin III to this list.

    • Comment: There are three different Lupin III TV series, and this list is strictly for the 2nd TV series, which is called Shin Lupin III (New Lupin III). The 1st and 3rd TV series have their own list and I will work on updating those to feature status at a future time :) --AutoGyro 18:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • This BADLY needs to be clarified in both the lead of this list and Lupin III... As it is, it looks as if there was only one series and it was titled "Lupin III" (not to mention tha fact it,s quite often cited as "Lupin the 3rd." Circeus 18:33, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • All of the summaries badly need copyediting. You may want to ask the WP:LoCE for that since the list is so large.
    • References and Notes should be merged into a "Notes and references" section.
    • The magazine in References needs to be in {{cite book}} format
    • Headings should comply with the WP:MOS--十八 09:38, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - 155 episodes is far too many for a single article, as it simply becomes unreadable and exhausting very quickly. See List of Bleach episodes for the splitting of these episodes amongst official arcs. One of the lists relating to these arcs, List of Bleach Agent of the Shinigami arc episodes is a FL now as well. Sephiroth BCR (Converse) 17:14, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The last sentences of every summary should be removed. They aren't summarizing the episodes; they are attempting to intrigue readers to watch the episode. These sentences are not appropriate for Wikipedia. -- Wikipedical 18:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose
    • The lead still fails to properly clears out the relationships between this series and it's "main" articles Lupin III.
    • Most episode summaries, as pointed out by Juhachi, are improper in tone.
    • Per Sephiroth BCR, 155 episodes is slightly extreme. Maybe you should consider something like List of The Simpsons episodes rather than List of Bleach episodes, though.

  • Comment: List has been fixed to suggestions. Check it out --AutoGyro 13:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Definite improvement, but not quite there.
      • Episode title should be "Japanese title translated" ("American title"), not "Japanese title translated (American title)"
      • The header should properly reproduce the structure of the cell, and indicate what are the 4 elements in there (japanese translated title, American DVD title, transliterated title, japanese title). That way, you can remove the note part about explaining it.
      • The other note bit, about which episodes where aired in the U.S. should be in the lead.
      • Make sure there is no space before your ref tags.
      • The fulls dates in the lead need to be linked to trigger date preferences.
    • Circeus 18:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • Due to the way the template is formatted, I could not do "Japanese title translated" ("American title"), so I went with "Japanese title translated (American DVD release title)" instead. I hope that's okay! --AutoGyro 19:58, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Now that all the issues have been addressed, is there anything else that needs to be taken care of? --AutoGyro 02:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't find much more to quibble about. support Circeus 03:53, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: The table layout isn't clear. I suggest having seperate columns for each of "Japanese title (translated)", "American DVD release title" and "Japanese title (transliterated) (Kanji title)" Tompw (talk) (review) 20:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Support now that the above has been dealt with. Tompw (talk) (review) 22:57, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The table is confusing and the usage of bright flashy red serves no constructive purpose, other than being irritating for the eyes. Kariteh 20:45, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: I modefied the table so that it models the featured list, List of Oh My Goddess episodes. I could not separate the English Translated Title and American DVD Title into different columns because of the way the template is set up, but the heading makes the distinction between the two clear. I hope it's not as confusing now. --AutoGyro 22:34, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
