Knots Landing[edit]

This is a self-nomination. I have added to this article anything one could ever reasonably want to know about Knots Landing. This was a popular show 20 years ago and many Wikipedians could rediscover it through this informative article were it made a featured article.

Object. Where is the wikification? I'm going through page after page of black text in the first section. It may be plot summary, but that doesn't mean we refuse to wikify altogether. --DanielNuyu 05:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This remark is a little bit hard. This article is really well written and complete. "Black Text" ??? Is it needed to repeat the links several times. All the intersting links (actors, CBS, California, ...) are already listed somewhere in the page. Lvr 10:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this objection is somewhat harsh. I can't see any words that should be wikilinked in the plot summaries, that are not already linked. Perhaps if you think there are some that should be, you could go and link them. Or at least give some examples. Rossrs 02:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object. You've certainly done a lot of work, which is great, but I think the article compares unfavorably with the featured The_West_Wing_(television) or Arrested Development. The entire section "who lived where" to me seems like trivia - is it important in some way to the history of the show or the plot or something? Also, the writing is somewhat unencyclopedic (in my opinion), but this may reflect the difficulty in writing about a soap opera in dispassionate language. There ought to be many more references I think. I see you didn't get many comments at peer review, which is too bad, but there's a good article in there somewhere. I edited the intro somewhat; hope that helps. Kaisershatner 15:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object. Certainly has the depth of information to be featured, but needs a greater focus on prose and less of a focus on lists. Also, needs a comprehensive reference and footnote system throughout the article. Perhaps a Peer Review and copy-edit would be beneficial. RyanGerbil10 23:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
