Médecins de nuit

This peer review discussion has been closed.
I've listed this article for peer review because… 1. It was just translated from another french article of the same name. 2. A peer review would help me see the faults in the article and help improve on it. Thanks, Emekadavid (talk) 20:06, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Just a few thoughts about the article. The translation is fine, with very few glitches:

• "7 September", of which year?
• "then rebroadcast later" --> "broadcast again"
• "work at night during an emergency" --> "work by night at an emergency ward"

The article now is little more than a stub. I never watched this TV series, but besides learning that it is a medical drama and is set in Paris, very little can be taken from the article. It needs major expansions for plotlines and characters. The list of actors is fine, but which roles are they playing in the series? Doctors, nurses, patients? Producers, composer and directors are often internationally known people and there is much info about them on the French Wikipedia. Instead of simply linking their names to that Wiki, I think that it would be better to share some knowledge about them on the article, if only as a hint. Peter Kassovitz, director of the movies..., Hervé Chabalier, journalist and TV writer, etc.

Being this the English Wiki, a comparison could also be made with similar British and American medical dramas, like General Hospital or ER. Which is the tone of the show? Dramatic and action-packed or light-hearted and funny? Is it more like Scrubs or more like House?

There is a lot of work to be done, probably only by doing some research on French websites or watching the original series. Have fun! Lewismaster (talk) 09:26, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

First, I agree with every that Lewismaster said above. Might disagree with his wording regarding whether you work "in" or "at" an emergency ward, but other than that, all excellent points. I'd add the following suggestions:

• This article is still a stub, you need sections on production, a series overview, any story arcs, critical reviews, etc.
• As per the MOS on linking, I would remove all the empty page links. Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Linking
• I'd add a synopsis of each season

Hope this helps. Good luck. Onel5969 (talk) 17:49, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
