GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Reptar on Ice/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewing article... CTJF83Talk 03:19, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This might just be my personal preference, but from what I remember Angelica always refers to them as babies, so maybe consider changing infants to babies?....actually I see it both ways, so a consistent term would be good.

I've changed all "infants" to "babies" as that is what Angelica calls them mostly. I left "infant" in the lead, though, as it's for their general age group and not the actual group they are. The Flash ^{talk} 14:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Link 1 no longer links exactly to where it should

Actually, it does. You see, for some reason it doesn't change the URL as you go to new pages, so I made the title the navigation you need to do. If you follow that, it'll lead to the link I'm using. Is that okay? The Flash ^{talk} 14:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- - Ok, I see what you mean for this CTJF83Talk 18:06, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Reptar had been used since season one, episode three, "At the Movies," as a satirical parody of the fictional Japanese monster, Godzilla." Is this sourced by reference number 7? (I can't check it) If so, please put a reference at the end of this sentence also.

Done. The Flash ^{talk} 14:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Angelica is lean on only eating Reptar brand cereal" It might be my lack of vocabulary, but is lean the correct word here? Consider changing lean to insistent?

Yeah, that sounds better - done. The Flash ^{talk} 14:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The ice show the babies attend mocks several different real life ice shows, including "Disney on Ice" and "Barney on Ice."" Is this sourced by #9? If so can you put a reference after Barney on ice, and if not, please find a source

The whole paragraph is supported by ref 9. Is there a policy saying it has to be after each statement, not group of sentences that are supported by the ref? If so, I'll change it ASAP. The Flash ^{talk} 14:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- - I'm not sure if it is a policy or not, it's not a huge deal either way.
Is Decade in Diapers the name of the DVD compilation (as I think it is), then it needs italics, not quotation marks.

Done. The Flash ^{talk} 14:04, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CTJF83Talk 03:42, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, great job! I'm going to pass it right now! CTJF83Talk 18:06, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Controversary?

I've heard several rumors that the show was briefly cancelled due to the scenes where Tommy hides the lizard inside his diaper... I'll add it until someone decides whether this is true or not... —Preceding unsigned comment added by BigJohnnyCool (talk • contribs) 02:35, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Susina and West

The reference given only as "Susina and West" appears to be a chapter from the book "The Japanification of Children's Popular Culture: From Godzilla to Miyazak". This needs to be made more clear, though I am not sure the correct way to do that.

I question the truthfulness of some of the claimed cites to this book, such as "Reptar" referring to how a child would pronounce "velociraptor", as made popular by Jurassic Park. Reptar's first appearance was in 1991, and Jurassic Park only hit mainstream popularity with its motion picture in 1993. I am open to feedback before I delete content from a "good" article.
