Different colors needed for episode tables

[edit]

I was looking at this article and I noticed that when I used the colorblind filter -[1] - the table colors were hard to distinguish for the colorblind. PerWP:COLOR, can someone help find a different color for at least one of the tables?ElectricBurst(Electron firings)(Zaps)17:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Statements about upcoming 4th season

[edit]

Someone keeps adding back in the same 2 sentences at the end of the lede: "The fourth season was going to be released on April 22, 2019 but it has been postponed. The fourth season will be released on either September or October 2019."

There is so far no release date for this. Previously, the person adding these sentences linked toa cinamaholic article which simply speculates on a 4th season (and also provides no references, so is thusnot a reliable source). I have added "Citation Needed" several times, and several others have done the same or even deleted the sentences, but they keep getting added back. We seem to be in3-Revert-Rule Territory here, and I recommend we request an administrator's arbitration on the matter. --Ishmayl (talk)19:59, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References

[edit]

Previously, the article was bloated with a lot ofWP:Fancruft but there seem to be various reliable or mostly reliable sources on this topic.

Go on then, I've watched this with the kids.

Initial 'as-reading' thoughts, I'll do the proper table shortly.

Lead:

  • Didn't the show win a couple of emmys? I'm sure it did.
    • It won two, I couldn't find any other awards that it won

Premise:

  • This feels like less of a premise and more of a 'things that happened in the first five or so episodes'. I'm hazy without rewatching but I think Dozer got rescued earlier, the ostracized is later and less of a big deal and the garage is quite far into the first season. I feel like this section definitely needs reworking and maybe retitling.
    • I'll keep it like this and expand the season section to have more plot

Characters:

I'm bumping on the fact we have Garby but not D-Struct's minion and the other reptools, who are respectively much larger characters (at least early one, possibly they get killed off in season three)

  • Noted, I will include the scraptools

Episodes:

I don't think it's in the GA criteria (and I'm mindful about overstepping) but there's nothing in the list of seasons that readers can't get from the table and I'd drop it. It's definitely not in the GA criteria to complain about the sources for episode numbers being future sources rather than past ones so don't worry about that.

My main query in this section is "Why *did* they call it supercharged?"

    • It is because the dinotrux got special parts that "supercharged" them and made them go faster, have stronger abilities, etc.

Production and release:

Second paragraph _looks_ ORy - I'll come back and check that later. I was expecting more from this section - interviews with creators and so on.

  • I don't think it is OR, also I could find suprisingly little on interviews with the creators and such. It didn't get much attention from the media and I have included everything in Google News that I could find as well as various things that I found in Google Scholar. I couldn't find anything on Newspapers, or JSTOR. but if you find that this is incomplete because of sources that I didn't include here then that's fine

Reception, themes and analysis:

There's been an undercurrent of slightly odd phrasing throughout and this section is particularly in need of a copy edit. There are various [who?] flags here - I don't remember if that's official GA but I personally think it's worth dealing with them.

  • I addressed the who flags

In general this paragraph is mostly negative and I honestly think there exist somewhere people who like it (it got awards and seven seasons) so some balance is needed here.

  • The awards section is right below there, I could not find any positive reviews in reliable sources

Extra:

I think I would expect this sort of article to include a section on merchandising

  • I couldn't find sources for that

Overall:

I think I will do a full review with the table in a day or so, but I think at the moment it's bordering on aquickfail either on the basis of needing substantialcopyediting or because it doen't address several major aspects of the topic: in particular, awards, popularity and audience reception, and merchandising or other spin-off products.

  • I put all the awards that I could find sourcing for, there weren't any sources on Dinotrux toys or merchandise, and I couldn't find any other sources for the audience reception part

If you wanted to take a run at the comments above (which may or may not be valid) before I do the review proper, that would be cool. I'll go and watch some episodes with the 5yo over the next couple of days.

Thanks for the review Joe, I have responded to your comments. I'll be expanding the season-by-season plot section because it was pointed out to me that even though I can't include an episode-by-episode summary of the plot because ofMOS:SIZE, I still need to include a season-by-season summary as done inthe 30 Rock article.User:Easternsaharareview this17:06, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I thought "well that's surely not right, there are loads of sources" but I've done my own search, and you are right, most of the results are promo-crap. Also, it appears that all the reliable sources hate a show I was quite fond of so that's sad.
So, where are we. I think you have plans to do various rewrites based on my first comments and your own sensible thoughts about season summaries. I think it's probably best I give you a few days to do that and then I go haul out the old \{\{GA table}}Joe (talk)13:58, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
