  • Comment: Claudia IV—and this one's my actual namesake. I am stunned and awed and overjoyed and very proud :D Since C. J. is the feminist character of the show, I'd like to request that this be ran during Women's History Month.

    General: Article is new enough and long enough
    Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
    Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
    Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
    QPQ: Done.
    Overall: ALT0 is... not good to go for me, because it implies that the show does have sexist tropes, when it seems like only an opinion. ALT1 is good... Without context, ALT2 isn't very interesting to me... ALT3 seems to fall afoul of WP:DYKSG#C6; ALT4 is good for me, as is ALT5, though the latter is a bit vague for me... and ALT6 is my personal favourite :)
    So, as a summary: ALT6, 1, 4 and 5 (that's the order of my personal preference, BTW) are good and ALT0, 1, 2 and 3 are not. I've struck the unapproved hooks for now; ping me if you fix anything. I'd be happy to take another look :) Pamzeis (talk) 10:56, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    :Yup, yup, yup. ALT0a and 7 are good :) Pamzeis (talk) 04:38, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    [edit]

    Hey, @Theleekycauldron! Nice work! I don't like to futz with FAs without discussing first...is there a reason we didn't work in some mention of/link to a notable actor when the character isn't notable enough for an article? Like, Simon Donovan...shouldn't we somehow work in that he was played by Mark Harmon? Danny Concannon...can't remember the actor's name, but I'm sure he has an article.

    Valereee: Feel free! Just an oversight on my part :) theleekycauldron (talkcontribs) (she/they) 01:03, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm as you know not much of a pop culture editor, so if I do it wrong for MOS reasons or whatever, feel free to make any changes. :D Valereee (talk) 12:45, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Sexual harrassment

    [edit]

    Full Disclosure (The West Wing) approximately 37 minutes in. It's a plot point, so usable as a self-source. But surely there must have been someone discussing this? Valereee (talk) 23:15, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Dayton, Ohio

    [edit]

    Can someone please add that C. J. grew up in Dayton, Ohio. Maybe even some details as to what is known about her early life? Thank you. Jb45424 (talk) 16:31, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
