The Museum of Curiosity[edit]

I've listed this article for peer review because I want to try and promote this article to FA status. I believe it to be high quality and the article is already of GA status. One problem I have is that I have extra information that could be used in the article, but the only sources come from those considered unreliable such as web forums (despite the fact the people on it are those working on the show) and an article I created for another website, which would probably not be counted as reliable. However, I have put this article in the external links section.

Ruhrfisch comments: Interesting article on a show I have never heard. Here are some suggestions for improvement:
- A model article is useful for ideas - I note there is one FA on a radio series: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio series) which may be useful.
- The lead should be an accessible and inviting overview of the whole article. My rule of thumb is to include every header in the lead in some way - for example the Episodes are not mentioned in the lead at all. Please see WP:LEAD
- Article needs more references, for example the last two sentences of each paragraph of Format are uncited. My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref. See WP:CITE and WP:V
- The lead makes it sound as if the critical reception was mostly negative, but the examples cited are mostly positive.
- Are there any plans for a second series / more episodes?
- How can a TV show be a "researcher" in The show[']s researchers are James Harkin, Xander Cansell and QI.[3]??
- Are ratings available - how popular was it with audiences?
- Please use my examples as just that - these are not an exhaustive list and if one example is given, please check to make sure there are not other occurrences of the same problem.
Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article). Yours, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 05:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
